Ball rasps
 

I have hunted and hunted to no avail and I cannot locate the web site on which I purchased my other four ball rasps. Thelargest I have is 5/8" in diameter and I want a 1" diameter rasp, maybe even 1 1/8" rasp. The ones I purchsed before have tru cut on the outside of the plastic cylinder they came in. I am very happy with these and would like to find that company again, but I am not sure if that is the company name. Help..........

I'm all set, ordered one from Kudzall. I am not sure if it is the same manufacturer or not but as long as its metal I think it will work fine.

Kutzall are cemented carbide balls. Not like the couble cut ball rasps at all.

I like this site and they have a store in Stoughton MA

Ball Shape Carbide Burrs (USA) at Wholesale Tool Company | Industrial Machinery + Tool Supply

there's a new store that opened up near by that i've been meaning to go check out....

i'll see what they carry

Not new.... It has been there as long as I can remember. Its tough going there, I can't stay focused... I try to take a set amount of $ so I don't drain my account!

Kutzall bits rule. FYI I found it easier to use them if I use a forstner bit first. Make a shallow cut with the forstner and the kutzall follows nicely. Woodcraft sells the kutzall bits I think the parent company name is Oliver corp? Which ever bit you use be on your toes they make quick work of your hands

Oh man I should have never checked the locations.

kutzalls are great, but they are a pain the butt to clean them out. Best way I've found is to burn off the wood debris. Wire brush afterwards.

Good call on starting with the Forstener bit...that way the kutzall doesn't stray off and gouge out the popper mouth.

I use a 1" Kutzal from Woodcraft and clean it up with a 3/4" ball rasp from Cutters and Endmills - Rotary Files & Burrs - FaberSurplus to clean up the cut. Two steps but pretty fast to do.

closed up - out of business :(

Woodcrafters has them. I just picked up some at the one in Portsmoth NH.They say all their stores have them an you can get them on line too.

Discount-Tool (online) look for Series 83 (by Fullerton Tool). Single cut HSS is best.
Becareful. cleen the flutes of your ball rasp with a tooth brush. a metal (even brass) will dull it.

I have built 100's of poppers and only use sizes 3/4" and 1.00"

Wholesale tool closed the Stoughton store....

What I liked about the store was you could go and handle the tools before you bought them. They still have good prices!
