9 Shinto Saw Rasp

Well made rasp. Use it every day and it does a very good job of not clogging.

good

just a great tool

As a flat rasp it works well. Two sided with coarse on one and fine on the other. I would prefer a rasp with one side convex for cleaning up inside curves. Length is adequate.

Cuts down wood in seconds. Must have tool.

I bought this because I was making rounded tenons out of red oak and I dont own a lathe. I was able to make fairly accurate round tenons without much trouble. I was originally going to buy an Auriou cabinet makers rasp but it was over $100 and I couldnt justify the cost. Paul Sellers has a video on this rasp. Its a great value!

Love this thing! Better than a rasp. Takes a lot of with little effort.

Bought this for my son and he thought I was nuts. Then he used it. A convert like me, when my wife bought one for the boat I am building. First, I had to finish the household jobs before I could start the boat. Zipped right threw them with this tool and then it was onto the boat! There are few tools that I would recommend for being on a desert island but this is one of them.

Smooth as butter and vastly removes more material than any other file.

I purchased this rasp for my husband and he loves it! Excellent quality and durable, and it removes a lot of material very easily. Can be used for shaping and smoothing as well. You just have to be careful about what you use it on; there is no way to clean the rasp reliably if something gets stuck to it. Apparently its also a little difficult if you need to put pressure on the tip to guide it because it then pushes uncomfortably into the hand, but it doesnt seem to be designed for two-handed use. Excellent product for the price.
