Based on the Stanley 750 Bevel Edge Socket Chisels, our Bevel Edge Chisels have excellent balance and are particularly comfortable in the hand. The edges are square, parallel along the length, and very narrow, so you can get into tight places.
They are made of A2 Tool Steel, hardened to Rockwell 60-62, cryogenically treated and double tempered. Hard Maple handles. Overall length is approximately 9".
The bevel is ground sharp at 30º, but a higher secondary bevel of around 35º is advisable, depending on the wood and how the chisel is being used. On very hard woods, like oak, hard maple or exotic species, take lighter cuts and use a higher secondary bevel. Additional honing is recommended.
