Apex 18861N Pattern Makers Cabinet Rasp Half Round 10 Inch

Product Description

The APEX 18861N is a pattern maker's cabinet rasp designed for shaping and finishing wood, composite materials, and soft metals in demanding trade and shop environments. This half-round rasp features smooth-cut edges and a hard-stamped marking style, giving woodworkers, pattern makers, and finish carpenters precise control over material removal. The file body measures 10 inches in length, 0.866 inches in width, and 0.142 inches in thickness, providing a sturdy, manageable profile suited to both flat and curved surface work. Constructed from steel, this tool is built to hold its cut geometry through repeated use in production and custom shop settings.

The 18861N is used in pattern making, cabinetry, and general woodworking applications where controlled material removal and surface refinement are required. The half-round shape makes it effective on both flat stock and concave profiles, while the smooth cut is suited to finishing passes and fine shaping work. It is a standard tool for millwork shops, pattern shops, furniture makers, and skilled tradespeople who require consistent file geometry and reliable edge performance across a range of materials.

Installation Notes

This rasp is a hand tool used by woodworkers, pattern makers, and finish carpenters. Secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp before filing to prevent movement and maintain control.
