Files & Rasps

Files and rasps are essential hand tools for shaping, smoothing, and refining materials such as wood, metal, or plastic. Unlike cutting tools, they are designed for controlled material removal, giving precise finishes in both rough and fine work. Craftsmen, woodworkers, and metalworkers often rely on these tools for detailed shaping that machines cannot easily achieve.

There are many types of files and rasps, each serving a different purpose. Flat, round, and half-round files are commonly used for general shaping, while specialized rasps are perfect for woodworking projects that require aggressive stock removal. Quality, handle comfort, and durability are key factors when choosing the right tool for your workshop.
