Apex 21878N Half Round Wood Rasp Bastard Single Cut 8 in

Product Description

The APEX 21878N is a half round wood rasp designed for shaping, smoothing, and material removal on wood surfaces. The bastard cut provides a medium-aggressive tooth pattern suited for rapid stock removal while still leaving a workable surface for follow-up finishing. Single cut edges allow controlled filing along the edge profile without marring adjacent surfaces. The rasp measures 8 inches in working length with an overall length of 10.12 inches, giving the user adequate reach and leverage across a range of hand-tool applications. The steel construction handles the demands of repeated use in shop and field environments. Installation is performed without tools — the rasp is a hand-held cutting instrument requiring no mounting or wiring.

This rasp is used in woodworking, carpentry, millwork, and general trade applications where fast, controlled wood shaping is required. The half round profile makes it effective on both flat and concave surfaces, including curved cuts, notches, door edge trimming, and rough shaping of wood stock. It is appropriate for use by carpenters, finish trades, and skilled tradespeople performing on-site fitting or shop fabrication work.

Installation Notes

No installation is required — this is a hand-held cutting tool used without mechanical fastening or power. Always use a properly fitted handle if the tang is exposed, as an unhandled rasp presents a puncture hazard. Wear appropriate cut-resistant gloves and eye protection when rasping or filing. Store separately from other cutting tools to protect tooth integrity.
