Product Information

Woodworking is a precise undertaking, and you want to be sure that your tools fit you as best they can. 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. Chisels are excellent for cutting, carving, chipping, breaking, joinery, framing, and more, so most DIYers will have at least one general-purpose chisel, like a bench chisel, in their tool box. Take some time to consider how the chisel will be used and whether you will need more than one chisel to effectively complete the planned project.

This affordable corner chisel from Peachtree Woodworking is a fine choice for someone who doesn’t use their corner chisel but once in a blue moon.The bench chisel is the most commonly used chisel by DIYers because it can be used for a wide assortment of purposes.

These tools also come with hooped or hollow ground handles, allowing the user to choose which option is best based on personal preference and the intended use. They may also have extra hooping to strengthen the handle, allowing the tool to withstand greater or more frequent mallet strikes. Mortise chisels have a long, thick blade that is designed to hold up under repeated heavy blows and to withstand the levering out process. However, these chisels are better put to use creating smooth cracks and cuts on the surface of bricks.One would hope that these things come standard, but you’d be surprised at what some manufacturers try to get away with. A chisel is a popular tool that is used to cut, shape, carve, and split a variety of materials, including wood, metal, brick, and concrete. The most basic use for a brick chisel is to improve user efficiency when cracking bricks, masonry blocks, or stone. Just make sure the blade is regularly sharpened to ensure the skew chisel remains as accurate as possible. These chisels have a smaller and lighter design that is easier to use for cutting relatively shallow or narrow mortises, such as those found in window mullions and sashes.

If you will be working with masonry materials, then a concrete chisel, brick chisel, or masonry chisel would be an effective choice.Like we talked about before, you will often likely be pounding straight onto a corner chisel instead of tapping at an angle. By lining up the corner chisel with a rough-cut corner, the user can tidy up the shape of the corner.
