I'm probably going to get one of these.
So which one is "the one"?
Thanx!

David, I have the 4151 Dragon. Given the shape and the finish it leaves I only need a cabinet file or scraper after it (and sandpaper). The pointy conical shape allows it to get anywhere, like neck heels, and the big flat part is good to level neck barrels for example.

I have the coarse Dragon rasp and really like it. Cuts fast, great for the heel.

I have all 4 of the dragon rasps. They are all great and I use them all. The one that gets the least use is the small coarse one. The one that gets the most use is the large coarse one, although the large fine one is perfectly capable of moving a lot of material fast. The small fine one I really like for volutes and heels.

Thanks guys. [:Y:]
I'm glad you all didn't recommend the Auriou, they are pretty pricy.

You guys really are great, ya know. Wish we could meet for some face to face.

Excuse the intrusion, but I use the 10" 2nd cut cabinet rasp, bought it in UK, cost here now is about US$35 WITH handle, and that's pretty much what I think it's worth - a step up from cheap chinese imports.
Works, but nothing to get excited about, and certainly would not rank it alongside LN tools generally (I have an LN low angle jack plane)

I have the grain 10 Auriou 9-inch cabinet rasp which is plenty large and course enough for my needs in shaping necks but not too large/course for some smaller detail work. I really like the shape and the way it cuts. Maybe it’s a bit pricey but it’s a joy to use.

Thanks Colin. Do you have a link to where we can buy them online?
