I think the microplanes are great for grating cheese. On wood, forget it.

Are there any more reasonably priced alternatives to Auriou for hand-
cut rasps?

Popular Woodworking magazine has a tool review of some other hand cut
rasps they compared to the Auriou and said they were just as good.
Mentioned the prices were lower. Not sure if significantly lower or
not. Current issue I saw on the stand last weekend. Forget the brand
since I have the Nicholson 49 and 50.

Thanks - I'll check it out.

How do the microplanes compare to the 49 and 50?
