Description
This is a description of a Hollow Square Mortice Chisel, which is an industrial-quality chisel that is 5/8" wide. The chisel is designed to be faster than a chisel by hand, consistent in size, strong joints, and reliable joints. The chisel also has large glue surfaces that enhance the strength of the joint. The chisel is convenient because it is easy to handle and has a consistent size.
Hollow Square Mortise Chisel Industrial Quality
5/8" Most mortisers are equipped to handle 1/4', 3/8', 1/2' and 5/8 square chisels.
Converted to metric: 6,35mm, 9,5mm, 12,7mm and 15,9mm. Some are even capable of handling a 3/4' chisel, but keep in mind that this is a pretty healthy chunk to cut at one time and may require a lot of physical exertion. Remember that even if you're cutting a mortise that is 3/4' wide, you don't need to cut the entire width in one pass. A few cuts down one side of the mortise and then back up the other with a 1/2' chisel will be just as effective and not nearly as taxing on you as the operator. Advantages:
- Faster than a chisel by hand
- Consistent in size
- Strong joints
- Reliable joints
- Looks good
- Large glue surfaces enhancing the strength
- Convenient
