Nicholson #49 rasp

[Don Armstrong]

Does this rasp cut on both sides, flat on one side and round on the other side. Thanks, Don

[Dano]

Yep.

[bigcountry]

I can't imagine going without my 49.

You can make alot of bows with a 49 & 50.

[Don Armstrong]

Thanks guys, I am going to get a 49 as soon as I can find the funds. Is there a great advantage to having the 49 and the 50 or would the 49 get you by. Thanks, Don

[Roy Steele]

Yes

[Dano]

The 49 will get you by.

[Pat B]

I had a 49 and loved it but someone loved it more! I never used a 50 but it seemed quite close to the 49.

[DCM]

I could use only the 50 and substitute a ferrier's rasp for the 49, but I got both.

[Bear]

Those two and a good farriers rasp are a real joy to own and use together.

I recently purchased a Dean Torges rasp. I can't imagine anything being much better.

Why not? It's one fine tool.

[Dano]

I couldn't tell ya, but it's not on Dean's site anymore. Heck most people complain about the price of the Nicholson's, the UBR was a few dollars more but IMO well worth it.

[Don Armstrong]

3 river's has them listed. Would these be left overs? Don

[onemississipp]

Well thanks Dustin, like my wife says, I didn't look past my nose.

[onemississipp]

He appears to have had a site make over, haven't been there in awhile.

I always enjoy reading his articles.."Writings" tons for good and entertaining information there.

Took me awhile to find it also Dano..

I got the 49 and 50 they worked very well. But then I got the Torges rasp and now the Nicholsons just keep papers from blowing away.

Anyone care to elaboriate on the pros / cons of Deans rasp in comparison to the #49 & 50, thanks.
