The Shinto Saw Rasp and File is a unique Japanese tool designed for woodworkers, which is regularly put to use in the Woodsmith workshop. Its innovative blade is crafted from strips of a material similar to hacksaw blades, featuring teeth on both edges arranged in a lattice pattern. This construction is welded and pinned to create a rigid and durable blade that excels in various applications.

Key Features:

• Dual-Sided Blade: One side has coarse teeth for aggressive material removal, while the other side has fine teeth for a smooth finish.
• Lattice Design: The lattice structure allows waste material to fall through, preventing clogging and maintaining efficiency.
• Versatile Use: Ideal for filing and shaping softwood, hardwood, plywood, chipboard, MDF, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plasterboard, soft stone, and more.
• Comfortable Handle: Equipped with a soft grip, non-slip handle for comfortable and controlled use.
• Push Stroke Cutting: Unlike other Japanese saws, the Shinto saw rasp cuts on the push stroke.

Specifications:

• Available Sizes: SR10 (shorter version) and SR20 (longer version).

• Fine Teeth: 25 teeth per inch (tpi) for finishing.

About Shinto Rasps:
Shinto rasps are unique woodworking tools constructed from 10 hardened zigzagged saw blades riveted together, forming a wide cutting surface. Their waffled design prevents clogging, making them suitable for wood, soft metals, plastics, and plaster. The rasp's teeth extend to the edges, allowing for easy corner work. Each rasp features two working sides: a coarse side for shaping and rapid material removal, and a fine side for finishing cuts. Made in Japan, these rasps are designed for efficient and versatile material removal.
