| − | A '''rasp''' is a [[woodworking]] tool used for shaping wood. It consists of a point or the tip then a long steel bar or the belly then the heel or bottom then the tang. The tang is joined to a handle usually plastic or wood. The bar has had sharp teeth cut into it. Rasps generally cut more coarsely than [[File (tool)|files]]. They are useful for rapidly removing wood from curved surfaces. They remove less wood than a [[drawknife]], so they are easier to control. Even though rasps leave very coarse finishes, the cut-away areas can be easily smoothed with finer tools, such as files.

| − | There are several types and shapes of rasps. There is a half round, round and flat. The several types of rasps are bastard, cabinet and wood (finest to coarsest). All these varieties can be used to make different shapes.

| − | A similar tool to a rasp is a '''surform file'''; it has coarse, individual teeth like a rasp for cutting wood. The difference being that the surform has a small hole near each of the teeth to allow shavings to pass through and prevent clogging. Surform tools come in different styles and shapes including file-plane, round file and shaping/shaving tools.
