Switched from hand rasping to a power rasp last year and I can't believe I waited so long
Used to spend 45 minutes per horse just doing the front feet with a hand rasp. Wrists were always killing me, especially on the draft horses. Got a used power rasp off a guy retiring in Ohio for $200 and it cut my time down to 15 minutes. First couple shoes I tried it on I messed up the angle bad though. Took about 2 weeks to get the feel for it. Any other farriers here make the switch and have tips for not taking too much off the toe?

My buddy made the same switch last year and now he's dealing with more hoof wall cracks than he ever had with a hand rasp. 200 bucks is a steal though, I'll give you that. You ever think we're trading one set of problems for another with these power tools?
