Tanged Rasp 14" Heavy Duty

Hand files are used to remove material and smooth and shape workpieces. They have forward-facing cutting teeth and cut when pushed over either a stationary or rotating workpiece. Single-cut teeth are single rows cut diagonally across the width of the file. Double-cut teeth have two sets of rows cut in opposite directions. American pattern files have three coarseness grades. Coarse, also known as bastard cut, is suitable for efficient, heavy material removal where finish is not a concern. Medium, also known as second cut, offers average material removal and finish quality. Fine, also known as smooth cut, provides the smoothest finish.

The Crescent Nicholson flat, single-cut horse rasp with file teeth on the opposite side is the ideal tool for a farrier working with horse hooves, as they features a narrow edge for precise work and a rougher cut across the flats for faster filing. This tanged design fits into any Crescent Nicholson adjustable handle, for use as a rasp or a file depending on which side of the tool you use.
