This is a wish list page - we don't have this tool yet!


Woodworking chisels exist in countless varieties and can be used to break chunks out of a piece of wood (e.g. for joinery) or to create fine details of a work of art, depending on the kind you choose.

Bevel Edge Chisels

Synonyms: "chisels"; DE: Stecheisen, Stechbeitel,
"Stemmeisen", DIN 5139 Form B [1]
Type: hand tool
Material: wood
Used with: mallets

The proper driving tool for bevel edge chisels is a wooden mallet (which we'll make soon) and is only used on those chisels that have a metal ring at the end of their handle (or a metal rod going all the way through). Handles without that reinforcement will not withstand hammering without damage! Drive these by hand or using a light piece of scrap wood and they should be fine.
