Hand made in France, premium-quality Auriou rasps are more expensive than others, but the skill used in forging the blades and hand cutting (or stitching) the teeth ensures a superior result. The densely patterned teeth leave no scratch pattern, and the blades have tapered tips for a tight stroke to concentrate the cut over a small area.
While they can be characterized as half-round rasps, these cabinetmaker's rasps are for general shaping (cabriole legs, chair backs, etc.).
The flat side of the blade is slightly cambered to allow rasping a flat surface without digging in. Their right- or left-hand biased teeth allow you to make natural angled strokes without compromising cutting efficiency.
Comfortable walnut handles.
These auriou rasps suit general shaping tasks such as cabriole legs and chair backs, thanks to their half-round profile and tapered tip for detail work.
Right- and left-hand bias changes which direction your cutting stroke naturally angles; choose the bias that matches your dominant stroke direction for the cleanest results.
The flat side of the blade has a slight curve built in, which keeps the rasp from gouging into flat surfaces as you work.
These rasps come in three lengths, 230mm (9"), 250mm (10") and 300mm (12"), each paired with a different grain, or tooth coarseness.
