Robert Sorby Five Piece Gilt Edge Chisel Soft Grip Handle Set

Product Description

Five Piece Gilt Edge Chisel Soft Grip Handle Set (E5005ST)

• Bevel edge chisels are the most versatile and universally used of all bench chisels and should form an integral part of any woodworkers toolkit.
• They can be used either free-hand making a gentle paring cut or with light mallet strokes. Side bevels reduce the risk of binding in the cut as well as allowing access to undercuts, like dovetails.
• Not recommended for heavy duty applications.
• Robert Sorby offers two styles of bevel edge chisel. Woodworkers can choose between a traditional bolster and ferrule design with leather washer or opt for our elegant gilt edge tapered bolster and ferrule form.
• Both designs are popular and offer slightly different grip preferences. Both are made from exactly the same material and produced to the same high standards of craftsmanship.
• Each chisel has a 25 degrees primary bevel and a 30 degrees for secondary bevel to easily allow or the cutting of harder woods.
• For soft woods such as pine woodworkers might want to re-profile to 20 degrees for the primary and 25 degrees for the secondary bevels.
• Very hard woods such as oak might require a steeper profile (30 degrees for primary bevel and 35 degrees for a secondary bevel).
• Sets are also now available in robust beech plywood presentation boxes.
