I know everyone says to use a fresh rasp for every horse, but I tried something different on a tough quarter horse last week.

His hoof wall was super hard and my rasp was just skidding, so I took an old one I keep for rough work and put a slight curve on the edge with my grinder, just a little bend. It grabbed way better and saved me a ton of time on that one job. Has anyone else messed with reshaping an old tool for a specific problem like that?

Yo that's smart! I totally get the skidding thing, it's the worst. I once used a worn-out rasp to score a line for a tricky trim, worked like a charm.

You put a CURVE on a rasp with a grinder? That is some serious next-level garage shop stuff right there. I would be so scared of wrecking the temper and making it useless.
