Iwasaki files cut with surprising speed and yet leave a smooth surface due to the manner in which the teeth are milled and chemically etched. Combine that with the diagonal groove pattern, the result is a file that will cut like a plane, but with very little resistance and with the...

Hot New Tools: Issue 33
From the first time woodworkers tried sandpaper-on-glass sharpening, they’ve wrestled with the fact that most abrasives can’t stand up long against steel. The Work Sharp’s plate and guide design accelerates the effect. The consistent touch point quickly wears away a ring of abrasive, especially when using the coarsest grits. Worn paper encourages the user to press harder, which doesn’t make sharpening any faster and overtaxes the machine.

This is amazing!
First, I should say I have little to no experience with rasps, except that they have always disappointed me. Since it was on sale, I decided to try it. OK, this thing is SHARP! You can smooth end grain with it if you are careful. Technique matters. I watched the video, and I realized that there are many ways to apply the file to the task. In the video, the file is held at an angle and simply pulled along the wood. I think this results in a much more coarse cut than if the file is pushed lengthwise into the work. If you push lengthwise, a much lighter touch is needed, and the resulting finish is much smoother. Those just my observations so far. I am considering buying a 2nd one, or maybe the big extreme-fine cut version. I am really glad I bought this file!

Not clearly represented in catalogue
good tool for quick removal of stock. Leaves rather coarse surface.

Very effective.
Removing severe flaws, yet leaving a smooth surfface.

Excellent.
This is the cleanest cutting file/rasp I've ever owned and I have all the major names, including Auriou. You just let this file ride softly along your surface, no real hand pressure, and it will yield an accurate, plane-like surface.
