Description
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.
Cabinetmakers and carvers will appreciate the ability of these round rasps to work into tight radiuses, while turners will find them helpful for shaping spirals. A shorter, finer rasp affords precise control, while a longer, more aggressive one enables fast stock removal.
