The Shinto Two Handed Saw Rasp is a unique and versatile Japanese tool designed for woodworkers and craftspeople. This tool features a blade made from strips of material similar to hacksaw blades, with teeth cut on both edges and arranged in a lattice pattern. The strips are welded and pinned together to form a rigid, durable blade.

Key Features:

• Double-Sided Blade: The rasp is double-sided with fine teeth on one face and coarse teeth on the opposite face. The coarse side provides an aggressive cut, rapidly removing material, while the fine side produces a smooth finish, perfect for finishing.
• Clog-Free Design: The lattice pattern allows waste material to fall through, preventing clogging and ensuring efficient use.
• Two-Handed Design: The SR30 model features a two-handed design for extra control and comfort. To flip the blade over, simply loosen the locking screw; the blade is released in seconds.
• Push Stroke Cutting: Unlike other Japanese saws, the Shinto saw rasp cuts on the push stroke.
• Versatility: This tool is ideal for filing and shaping all kinds of wood, making it a favourite among woodturners and wood carvers. It can also be used on a variety of other materials, including: Soft Wood, Hard Wood, Plywood, Chipboard, MDF, Iron, Copper, Aluminium, Plasterboard and Soft Stone.

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.
