<p>132.73.80.117: rv vandalism</p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:Wood rasp.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Wood rasp]]<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> '''RASP''' can also be an acronym for &quot;[[Random access stored program machine]]&quot; (Calvin C. Elgot &amp; Abraham Robinson, 1964), a model that is similar to a [[register machine]].<br /> <br /> {{tool-stub}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Mechanical hand tools]]<br /> [[Category:Woodworking hand tools]]<br /> <br /> [[fr:Lime (usinage)]]<br /> [[pl:Tarnik]]<br /> [[sv:Rasp]]</div>
