lonellr Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Looking to buy a ball rasp for poppers...What size would be best? What's the normal width for the mouth? I'm thinking a 5/8" size rasp and make the mouth an inch wide? Or if there is another way to get the cup, can someone share their wisdom?

a4scoot Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 You need a 1" rasp to make a 1" mouth. The are measured by the overall diameter not the radius! So you need at least a 1" ball rasp if not larger depending how big the plug dia is. Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways,totally worn out, shouting, ' Holy ***t... What a Ride!!

I also have a 1/2" when making fresh water poppers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the idea here, tried a few and it worked great. I have a small adjustable ''table'' on my grinder and it enables me to grind a cutting edge while rounding the bit at the same time.

Dockillemall Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Saburr-tooth yellow fine works for me. Best with high speed to keep teeth clean. I use the 1" with die grinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
