Japanese Half-Round File-Rasp 200mm Iwasaki
Product Dimensions and Weight
Iwasaki Wood Files offer exceptionally fast material removal, nearly five times faster than traditional rasps.
This tool is ideal for sculptors, woodworkers, instrument makers, toy makers, and more.
While a rasp produces sawdust and a file creates fine dust, Iwasaki tools produce miniature shavings. Similar to a rasp, the Iwasaki file removes material very quickly, but the resulting surface is much smoother and requires only minimal sanding for finishing (comparable to 280-grit sandpaper).
The secret of Iwasaki files lies in their manufacturing process, featuring uniquely shaped teeth. Additionally, diagonal grooves shift the teeth, and each tooth acts as a miniature chip breaker, reducing clogging. The tooth spacing is 1.6mm.
