Description
The Hollow Square Mortice Chisel is a 5/16" industrial quality chisel that is most commonly used to cut mortises in wood. It has several advantages over a chisel by hand, including faster cutting and consistent size, strong joints, and reliable joints. It also has large glue surfaces that enhance the strength of the joint. It is convenient to use because it is small enough to fit in most mortisers.
Hollow Square Mortise Chisel Industrial Quality
5/16" Â 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
