    You know that Iwasaki sells 150, 200, and 250 mm tanged versions of those floats, right?

    The biggest problem with the Iwasakis from my perspective is that they don't taper to a point or to sharp sides like good rasps do, to say nothing of rifflers. That's a shared limitation of all floats, though. Different tools for different jobs, etc.
