Farriers Rasps

(1/2) > >>

DC:
Just curious, if you grind all the teeth off a farriers rasp how thick would your blade be?

dylanholderman:
like down so far all evidence is gone?  ???  or just taking the points down until it's flat but still has a pattern?

HH~:
If you took it all probably 1/8th. There no real need to take it all unless you just have to have a slick blade. Mine was a Finland rasp and I wanted to keep weight on it.
