Trend Hinge Recess Squaring Corner Chisel, Quickly Square Up Rounded Corners, C/CHISEL

Product Information

As the name indicates, a mortise chisel is made for cutting mortises. This includes cutting mortises for doors, doorframes, windows, and joinery projects. Manual mortising is conducted by striking the end of the mortise chisel with a mallet to drive the blade into the wood. The waste is then levered out and the process is repeated until the mortise is smooth and even.

A corner chisel is, predictably, shaped like a corner. Usually quite small, the blade is bent at a 90-degree angle. This angle allows it to create a perfect corner in the wood without you having to eyeball it or get out measuring tools. While most chisels are used for woodworking, a cold chisel is specifically design to cut and carve metals that are softer than the material used to craft the tool. These chisels can also be used to cut off rivets, rusted nuts, and seized bolts, instead of fighting to free these worn fasteners. One of the primary purposes of a corner chisel is to make mortise and tenon joints. These venerable joints have been in use since the stone age! There are many different types of mortises and tenons, but at its most basic a mortise and tenon joint appears to resemble a square peg inserted into a square hole. It is then glued, pinned or wedged into place. An effective way of joining two pieces of wood together.

If you are looking for something with a bit more heft to it , look no further. Made by the same manufacturer as the previous product, this chisel is a much heavier duty version designed to cut deep mortises. Of course, it is not suited for finer or shallower corners.

A paring chisel is a precise tool that is typically put to use at the end of a woodworking project. These chisels have long, thin, almost flexible blades that are ideal for putting the finishing touches on fine woodworking pieces. The heavy-duty beveled edge chisel is another type of chisel that is commonly used in boatmaking and timber framing projects. Due to the size and shape of the blade, it isn't an effective option for fine woodworking or even furniture making, but the bulky, heavy-duty blade is a great choice for any big joinery applications. A skew chisel is intended for finish carving, with a long, angled blade that is ideal for cutting intricate patterns and fine details into the wood. The shape of the blade and the pointed tip can also be used with precise control to cut delicate dovetails and other joinery techniques. The bench chisel is the most commonly used chisel by DIYers because it can be used for a wide assortment of purposes. This general-purpose chisel is a must-have tool for woodworking, renovation, and construction projects around the home. Narex chisels have a traditionally designed hard and hefty hornbeam handle providing a strong base for the ferule and blade to sit in.

Butt chisels are primarily used for cutting mortises for butt hinges. Butt chisels have a distinctive short, wide blade that is ideal for cutting mortises, but also for removing large amount of material in a short period of time.
