I'm assuming you mean the 3-pc ...Thanks, Nate,<br /><br />I'm assuming you mean the 3-pc set off Liogier's site (instead of a set from perhaps Lee Valley).<br /><br />The 3-pc set Noel proposes is a #9, a small modeler's rasp and a rat-tail. The modeler's and rat-tail were the least used of my kit; they are useful, but least used. If you were shaping some relief adornments, they are both very useful.<br /><br />The 5-pc is the same with the addition of the #6 and #11. In my case for the legs of the No Comment #2, the most used in order were #6, #9, #11. The #6 did far and away the most heavy removal. If you don't foresee a lot of removal, the #9 will work albeit slowly. The #9 still leaves a decent scratch pattern that the #11 can greatly reduce.<br /><br />After using them, honestly would go for the 5-pc. If you aren't going to do small relief work, maybe price just the #6, #9, #11 and compare to the 5-pc to decide.<br /><br />I'm thinking I answered your question with a question... sorry! :)HalfInchShyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04633026047989713624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703009255391882847.post-9281725345230069182013-07-23T09:58:41.092-07:002013-07-23T09:58:41.092-07:00Hi Paul,
Great review of the rasps.
I am looking...Hi Paul,<br /><br />Great review of the rasps.<br /><br />I am looking at making a Hal Taylor Sculptured Rocker and am going to be picking up some Liogier rasps. I am stuck between the 3-piece and 5-piece starter set.<br /><br />In your opinion after using the various rasps, could one get away with the 3-piece set? Is the #9 coarse enough for the basic shaping?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />NateAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16382256824831054683noreply@blogger.com
