Apex 19136N Flat Bastard Wood Rasp 10 Inch

Product Description

The APEX 19136N is a flat bastard wood rasp designed for shaping, smoothing, and removing material from wood surfaces. With a bastard cut pattern and single cut edges, it delivers controlled material removal suited to rough shaping tasks on lumber, trim, and similar materials. The rasp measures 10 inches in length with a flat profile 0.96 inches wide and 0.22 inches thick. Constructed from steel with a hard-stamped marking style, it is built to hold up to repeated use in job-site and shop conditions. Carpenters, woodworkers, and general contractors reach for this tool when fitting, trimming, or contouring wood components by hand.

This flat wood rasp is appropriate for residential and light commercial woodworking applications where precise hand-filing is required. Typical uses include shaping door edges, fitting trim, rounding corners, and removing excess material from rough-cut stock. The bastard cut grade sits between coarse and smooth, making it a practical first-pass tool before finishing with a finer file. The single cut edges allow cleaner work along the sides of a workpiece without aggressive scoring.

Key Features

• Bastard cut pattern for controlled, moderate material removal on wood
• Single cut edges provide cleaner side filing without over-cutting

• Steel construction with hard-stamped part marking for durability and identification
• 10-inch file length suits standard hand-filing grip and stroke length

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose flat wood rasp suitable for hand-filing tasks on softwood and hardwood in residential and light commercial carpentry applications.

Installation Notes

Wood rasps are hand tools used by carpenters and woodworkers without powered equipment — no electrical shutoff is required. Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped or braced before filing to prevent movement and maintain control. Use steady, even strokes in one direction to achieve consistent material removal, and inspect the workpiece frequently to avoid over-filing. A handle should be fitted to the tang before use if one is not already attached, in accordance with standard safe-file practices.
