The Iwasaki 10 inch Flat Coarse Cut Carving File revolutionizes rapid material removal by combining rasp-like aggression with file-quality surface finish through its unique curved teeth with mini-chipbreaker faces. This heavy-duty Japanese file features teeth on both flat sides and creates actual mini-shavings rather than dust, making it ideal for aggressive shaping, sculpting, and initial stock removal.

Key Features:

  • Coarse cut for rapid material removal
  • Teeth on both flat sides for maximum efficiency
  • Curved teeth with mini-chipbreaker design
  • Creates mini-shavings, not dust
  • Safe edges protect adjacent surfaces
  • Push-stroke cutting action
  • 1-inch width for substantial coverage
  • Works on wood, bamboo, OSB, MDF, plastics, and resins
  • Made in Japan

Specifications:

  • Overall length: 12⅛ inches
  • Cutting length: 8¾ inches
  • Width: 1 inch
  • Thickness: ¼ inch
  • Cut type: Coarse
  • Cutting direction: Push stroke
  • Tooth configuration: Both sides
  • Edge type: Safe (no teeth)

Ideal for:

  • Heavy stock removal
  • Initial shaping of large projects
  • Furniture makers roughing out forms
  • Carvers beginning sculptural work
  • Plane makers creating new tools
  • Pattern makers
  • Production woodworkers
  • Anyone needing aggressive material removal

Benefits:

  • Removes material faster than rasps
  • Double-sided cutting doubles efficiency
  • Chip ejection prevents clogging
  • Safe edges allow work in corners
  • Wide cutting surface covers area quickly
  • Leaves cleaner surface than expected from coarse tool
  • Works on diverse materials
  • Push stroke provides control during heavy cuts

Aggressive Removal with Control: The coarse cut configuration combined with the 1-inch width makes this file a material-eating machine, perfect for the heavy removal phase of any project. Each curved tooth features a mini-chipbreaker face that lifts and ejects material as actual shavings, preventing the clogging that renders conventional coarse files useless after just a few strokes. This chip-clearing action maintains cutting efficiency even during aggressive work in resinous or difficult woods. The teeth on both flat sides mean you can alternate surfaces to maintain peak cutting performance, effectively doubling the file's working life between sharpenings. Despite its coarse rating, the shearing action of the curved teeth leaves surfaces surprisingly smooth—more like the result of a medium file than a coarse rasp. The 8¾-inch cutting length provides substantial working surface for long, sweeping strokes that remove material efficiently.

Professional Power Tool Alternative: The push-stroke cutting action provides the control necessary when removing substantial material—you can see exactly where you're cutting and apply precise pressure where needed. The safe edges allow aggressive work right up to perpendicular surfaces without fear of damage, invaluable when roughing out joints or working in confined areas. The ¼-inch thickness provides enough rigidity for heavy pressure without flexing, while the 12⅛-inch overall length offers comfortable leverage for demanding work. This file excels where power tools would be too aggressive or inappropriate—shaping curved furniture components, roughing out carved forms, or creating the initial shapes for wooden planes. Whether you're removing large amounts of material from a furniture blank, establishing the basic form of a carving, or need to quickly reshape a mis-cut joint, this coarse file delivers the aggressive cutting action that gets you to the refinement stage faster.
