Rasps
Used by woodworkers, cabinetmakers, furniture craftsmen, hobbyists and homeowners, a rasp is an essential woodworking tool used for shaping wood and soft metals. Though many different types of rasps exist, the two most common types are cabinet rasps and wood rasps. Cabinet rasps have finer teeth for a smoother finish, and wood rasps have coarser teeth for greater stock removal. As a supplier of rasps and files, AFT provides a huge selection and sizes from brand names like Mercer Abrasives.
