Hi Mark, I have just bought a couple of rasps by Magnusson, (about £8 each) largely to carve and ‘fettle’ walking canes. They look very similar to your Rutland rasps, except mine are 8″. I have to say they work very well, remove wood at an alarming rate compared to my previous wood files. Probably a bit narrow but I am comparing to Paul’s highly recommended Arriou rasp (and a 90 odd quid price differential!). The previous wood files have now stepped up to the plate as smoothing files to temper some of the ragged surfaces left.
PS The Magnusson rasps are from B&Q- This reply was modified 5 years, 11 months ago by STEVE POVALL. Reason: adding info
6 May 2018 at 4:42 pm #540579Bought a set of Narex 8105 (6), from Woodwork Heaven UK, £45 plus an extra 18mm I needed. My first set proper as I have had odds n sods from my own and my Dad’s hand-me-downs. Seem good buys to me with my limited experience, not at all heavy, hold an edge well. First build was Paul’s workbench, saw horses, couple of dovetail boxes, walking canes x4, so a fair range of tasks. No thoughts of upgrading, they are OK.
