Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes do the Narex full round rasps come in?

They are offered in 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, and 12mm diameters, with tooth density ranging from 20 teeth/cm on the 6mm up to 10 teeth/cm on the 12mm. Browse all rasps & files to find the right profile.

How does a full round rasp differ from a half-round rasp?

A full round rasp has a fully cylindrical cross-section with a smaller cutting diameter, so it can reach into tighter curved areas where a half-round rasp won't fit. It excels at enlarging holes and shaping concave forms.

What are these rasps made of?

The cutting body is tool steel hardened to HRc45, joined by brass ferrule construction to a stained and waxed hornbeam handle. They are part of the Narex Profi line of hand tools.

What woodworking tasks are these rasps best for?

They are designed to increase the size of drilled holes, shape wood into curves, and round over edges quickly before you move on to sanding or scraping. They suit fine furniture, carving, and luthiery work.

Why do the rasp teeth cut more aggressively than a file?

The cutting edges are angled more aggressively than those on a traditional file, allowing the rasp to shape and mold material very quickly. This makes fast stock removal easier when roughing out a shape.

Which rasp size should I choose for fine detail?

The 6mm rasp has the highest tooth count at 20 teeth/cm, leaving a finer surface for detail work, while the 12mm at 10 teeth/cm removes material faster for coarse shaping. Pick based on how much material you need to remove.

Do these rasps have wooden handles?

Yes. Each rasp features a stained and waxed round hornbeam handle joined to the steel with brass ferrule construction for a secure, comfortable grip.

Can I smooth the surface after using a rasp?

Yes. A rasp leaves a textured surface intended to be refined afterward, so follow up with sanding & abrasives or a cabinet scraper for a finish-ready surface.

Are these rasps part of a larger Narex tool line?

Yes, they belong to the Narex Profi line of fine hand tools. You can find more Narex shaping and joinery tools throughout our hand tools collection.

Is a full round rasp good for luthiery?

Yes. These rasps are well suited to fine furniture design, carving, and luthiery, where their aggressive teeth quickly shape and mold material to the form you need.
