9 Shinto Saw Rasp by Shinto

Great tool. Cuts like crazy on both the aggressive and finer side. My only complaint is after carving out this neck, the handle broke. It flexes toward the bottom now, so I have to choke up on the rasp or it’ll just keep bending, no big deal though. For how it well it works I don’t even care that the handle kinda sucks. Little bit difficult to get in tighter spaces, would be worth getting a smaller size if you plan on using it a lot.

I didn't know I needed this tool until I saw Paul Sellers using one. Now I don't think I could do without it. Great for removing lots of wood for shaping and then flipping it over to the fine side for a more finished surface. I have been using it for more than a year and can't detect any dulling of the rasping surface. Great tool.

This is the best rasp that I have ever used in fifty years of woodworking. It is easy to use and very efficient. Great for many tasks. Quality is top notch. I wish that I had this years ago.

This item is amazing ! High quality rasp . Very sharp .

This is a very versatile tool. I made a three legged stool and this rasp made the shaping of the circular seat and of the round tenons very easy and very fast. The rasp doesn’t care for the direction of the grain, unlike the spokeshave, which causes tear out against the grain. The coarse size removes wood fast, the finer size gives you more control in shaping. I recommend it.

Works really well. Very happy with product

Effortlessly devours hardwood in a flurry of sawdust. It is very effective and easy to control with precision, requiring very little pressure. It make smooth, shallow cuts, which are easy to sand out. Im a bit disappointed with the build quality. The riviting on mine, is on the sloppy side and the handle isnt as secure as Id like. However, the way this tool is designed and constructed, these issues are no doubt an engineering challenge that would significantly complicate the build and increase price, to solve, therfore its forgivable. I have concerns about its durability, but at this price, its worth the risk for such a high performance tool. All its faults considered, its the best performing rasp Ive ever used. Ive completed a couple major projects with it and well gotten my money's worth, so if it ends up falling apart, Ill probably buy another. UPDATE: 18 months of regular and often demanding use and this thing is still rockin'! I recently worked for more than an hour on an axe head, with a file. I was getting nowhere, so I put the Shinto rasp to it and in 5 min, had cut a clean, flat bevel on the blade. It shreds tempered steel, just like wood. More amazing, is that it didnt dull and still cuts wood like new. It was like the old Ginsu commercial where they cut rebar with it and then fillet a tomato. LOVE THIS MONSTER!

I love this Shento rasp. It really takes off a lot of material allowing you to get the shapes you want quickly and the finer teeth allow you to clean it up. This is fantastic for making handles. I've only used it on Red Oak so far because I have an abundance of it but I plan on using it on some Black Walnut soon.

A rough side and a smoother side. Can get a lot wood removed very quickly. No carpenter or bowyer should be without this rasp.

Es una maravilla. Nunca creí que devastar madera pudiera ser tan suave. Estoy maravillada

Super Werkzeug, lässt sich für viele Dinge verwenden. Ich bearbeite damit ausschließlich Holz, dafür aber auf unterschiedlichste Art und auch ganz verschiedene Sorten Holz. Selbst sehr harte Hölzer wie Iroko sind hiermit gut zu formen.

Excelente produto. Chegou no prazo correto.

Simply outstanding tool. Nothing comes close. . Used for shaping a custom hand made guitar
