Gramercy Tools Hand Cut Modeller's and Rat-tail Rasps

Like everyone else, we are suckers for hand made rasps. These Gramercy Tools modelling rasps are hand cut and you will be surprised not only by how fast they work, but by how smooth a surface they leave. They are narrow but wow they can remove a lot of material precisely and speedily. Made of surgical grade stainless steel for a tough, long life with a brass ferruled wood handle. The lengths given are the approximate working length of the rasp. "Teeth coarseness" is the approximate number of teeth per inch of the rasp teeth.

Cabinet rasps (see accessory list below) are designed for average applications. These modeling rasps are for smaller work and where detail, control, and finesse are required. When we designed these rasps we really wanted to emphasize their narrowness, and they are narrower than most modelling rasps we know of, so that you can work scroll work like that found on fancy chairs and such. The longer rasps give a longer stroke and work faster, the shorter rasps are easier to handle for very precise work. The rasps are made in Pakistan, which has a long tradition of metalwork, by a single craftsman with very limited production who is working to our specifications. Sizes will come in an out of stock as supply permits. The handles are made in USA.
Note: Rat-tail rasp not shown.
