Parts of a three file combination rasp include: blade, handle, coarse teeth, fine teeth, edge teeth and embedded grip

Blade

Blade of a three file combination rasp with coarse teeth recessed in a chanel The blade of a three file combination rasp, unlike other dry wall rasps, is made of plastic. It has three different types of teeth designed into its blade, and can remove material on both forward and backward strokes of the tool.

Teeth

The coarse and fine teeth on the blade of a three file combination rasp The coarse teeth are recessed from the others and allow you to remove large amounts from the edge of plasterboard quickly. The fine teeth remove less material than the coarse ones, but will give a better quality, smoother finish to the edge of the plasterboard, while the edge teeth are used to create neat, accurate corner edges on cut-out sections, such as around sockets and light switches.

Handle

The handle of a three file combination rasp has embedded elastomer grips on its sides The handle of a three-file combination rasp is also made of plastic. As the teeth cut away at the plasterboard, the shavings and dust are channelled to the underside of the handle where it exits slots at each end of the handle.
Handle thickness comparison between a three file combination rasp and a pocket rasp The handle is flatter and less raised than that of a pocket dry wall rasp, so even though the rasp is longer and wider it will still fit in most tool belt or pouch pockets.

Embedded grip

Embedded elastomer grips on the handle of a three file combination rasp The handle has embedded grips on each side made of an elastomer that gives greater comfort and better grip when using the tool.
