File and Rasp Sharpening

[The Crisco Kid]

I have a Nicholson #50 rasp that I've had for many years and used it to the point that it became almost worthless. I sent it off to Boggs Tools and they re-sharpened it so well that it's better than it was when new. I'm impressed since they only charged $8:50 for the work. The bad news is that the postage totaled up to $20 + change. A new #50 is around 70 to 80 bucks so it's still a good deal.

Great resource. Thanks for posting this.

Yeah- I didn't know you could get one re-sharpened.

Do you know what process they use to resharpen them?

I send Boggs all my used files and end mills to get sharpened - they do a great job at a reasonable price.
