Description
Description
The Shinto saw rasp is the number one selling rasp in Japan. It is the one tool that every woodworker should have in their tool chest/workshop.
These rasps are made using multiple saw blades joined together in a diamond configuration. They are highly efficient at removing material such in soft woods, hard woods, soft metals and composite materials. With the diamond blade pattern making the rasp clog resistant.
They are also ideal for general shaping work as the tooth configuration will not tear out the grain. On the contrary, they cut the grain fast and effectively.
Blade length: 250mm
Overall length: 380mm
Handle - Elastomer Rubber

The Shinto Saw Rasp
The saw rasp is surprisingly useful. The rough side is sharp enough to remove material quickly. The fine side creates a smooth surface without tear outs even on edges and across end grain. I use it to finish surfaces just before sanding, and to create chamfers or round corners.
I love the Shinto rasps so much. I like to carve hard timbers to make little spoons and scoops. The Shinto rasp enables me to shape the back of the spoon bowl easily, avoiding splitting timbers and blunt knives. I loved the first one I bought so much that I quickly ordered the second, finer one. They are fabulous!
After first buying the medium/coarse rasp saw and enjoying using it, I then bought the fine/medium. They have become my most favourite tools. I can strip off the bark and shape the wood of branches quite quickly to make items like bodhran tippers (for playing Irish frame drums). I am 66 and have some arthritis in my fingers and wrists. The rasp saw is so sharp I don't have to use much force or pressure, it doesn't clog up, and it doesn't make fine dust that gets into your eyes and nose. It is quiet. I can sit in the shade and not annoy anyone. It doesn't need power. I can take it camping. I love it!
The beauty about this rasp is that it not only can take off a large amount of material when using the course side, but it can do that in a tight right angle, or create a flat surface. I use circular motions when treating a display side of wood, start off with the course side, flip it over to the fine side, and you have no scratches at all. It is designed with gaps going through to each side, which allows the saw dust to just fall to the floor without build up. I've even found the tip to be of use when clearing out a cavity. Every wood worker should have one of these!
I bought this as a gift and they thought it was perfect for what was needed.
The ordering was easy and delivery excellent. Beautifully made shinto rasp.
Would definately buy from here again
Wow I absolutely love this tool it’s so easy to use and does exactly what they say it does normally I suffer from arm cramps when filing but not since I started using this rasp it get a tick of approval from me
This item will sell itself.
It is just spectacular in operation. It is just so easy to file any soft item. I have not used it on mild steel and do not intend to. Other files are made for that purpose. But, filind wood and plastic I highly recommend them.
I had seen these used so ordered one and I was not disappointed it exceeded my expectations it is a great addition to my tools
After wood sculpting for 35 years the Japanese rasp has become an essential tool in my making process
Very handy tool to add to your workshop, can think of many jobs over the years that this would have been perfect for.
Light, easy to use and good quality
One of the best saw/rasps I have ever used.Easy to handle and control.I mainly use it for forming spoons and small bowls
A brilliant tool for moulding curved surfaces.
Best rasp I've ever purchased
I was happy about delivery and the rasp is excellent thankyou once again

A must have tool in every workshop.
I do a lot of shaping, the Shinto rasp works a treat removing stock quickly to refining to silky smooth finish. Love it
The Shinto file has filled a gap in my arsenal, very happy with its quality. I
I bought it to use for shaping the necks on a couple of Cigar box guitars I planned to build. It was far better than anything I had previously used and I would certainly recommend it to anyone who was considering it.
How I managed without these rasps previously is not a process I will return to
This ingenious device puts every other rasp I've ever used to shame. Fast and precise - makes shaping guitar necks a breeze!!
Excellent tool and very useful tool that is easy to use. Shapes wood, or birch ply really quickly.
Great. Love using it for wood carving.
It is an unusual and very useful item.
I have been looking for a good quality rasp for some time. The two I purchased from Japanese Tools cut beautifully and leave a finish that needs only a minor attention with sanding. There is no clogging of the blades due to the ingenious manner in which the rasps are constructed. For free form shaping using a flat rasp these are the best I have used.
These Shinto Saw Rasps really work well. Fair price for a well made product. All I need now is one or two curved options. For those inside curved areas where a flat tool won't reach.
If it were legal to marry a tool, I would marry this rasp. One of my most versatile tools in my workshop. I use it every day with much joy, Thank you!
The reviews were right, this is a magic rasp. GET ONE!
Great product it cuts very cleanly
