Hand-Cut Needle Rasps by Auriou

These very fine needle rasps come in a variety of shapes and allow you to do the precision of working in very small areas. The main advantage of these rasps over riffler rasps is you have a nice long stroke. These are perfect for model making, where you are doing the same operations you would on full size furniture, just on smaller scale.

Auriou uses a scale of 1 to 15 grain to describe the cut of their rasps, with 1 the coarsest and 15 the finest.
