Vallorbe Rasps & Rifflers
Vallorbe is an industrial region in Switzerland famous for iron foundries and tool production since the 16th century. Three principal manufacturers in the region joined forces in 1899 to expand their sales of files through export, whilst carefully guarding their technology, trademarks and traditions. Today the range includes some 4,000 items including engineers files, chainsaw files, diamond files and other specialty items. The Vallorbe brand is recognised internationally and highly regarded for its quality and performance in service. All products carry ISO 9001/EN 29001 quality certification. In recent years they have been developing a new range of tools for luthiers and for general woodworkers. These rasps and files are cut by machine.
Vallorbe have launched new range of rasps and rifflers for woodworkers (March 2010). They are designed to bridge the gap between crude machine machine made rasps and the best hand stitched rasps made by Michel Auriou in France. Vallorbe rasps are machine made but are superior in quality and cut than any other machine made rasp available. Vallorbe have spent a considerable amount of time in research and development to produce this range of rasps for woodworkers.
Classic Hand Tools are the distributor for this new range of tools for both the UK & the North American market. Vallorbe is a name that is synoymous with quality for watchmaking tools, chainsaw files, precision engineers files and more. Their woodworking range will be very well received including their fine rasps/luthier programme. |
