Flat Chisels

Wood carving is an original art form that is available to anyone. These works require the use of a special tool, which is always sharp. For example, a chisel, and all knives on sharpness are comparable to a dangerous razor so at work it is necessary to act very accurately. What are chisels? a chisel is a hand-held woodworking tool for cutting chamfers, machining curved surfaces, as well as for gouging holes, grooves, etc.

consists of a steel blade waith a sharpened end edge (blade) at one end and a handle fixed to the shank or tightly driven into a tapered socket at the other end. In carpentry, chiseling is one of the most difficult operations. Usually you need not one, but several chisels with different sizes and shapes of the blade.

What are The Types of chisels?

Flat wood chisels can be classified by method of advancement, handle shape, size and other parameters. The main classification of chisels – by shape, longitudinal or transverse plane. Preferably it is determined by these two parameters.

Transverse shape:

• Radial chisel – a chisel with a profile that has the shape of a circle arc in cross section.
• Flat chisel – a chisel with a straight, flat cross profile. The cutters differ in the width and thickness of the blade and the shape of the cutting edge of the blade, which can be oblique or straight.
• Box chisel – a flat straight chisel with sides of different heights.
• corner chisel – chisel with a profile in the form of a corner, the Latin letter “V”. The size of such cutters is determined by the height of the side of the tool angle, as well as the size of the angle between the sides.

Longitudinal shape:

• Straight chisel – a chisel with a straight, like a ruler, cloth without any bends.
• Gossip – a chisel, which has a rather sharp longitudinal bend of the blade, which begins closer to the end of the blade.
• curved chisel – a chisel with a longitudinal bend of the blade. But, unlike gossip, it has a curved canvas.
• Paring chisel – a long and thin chisel, mainly used for cleaning deep holes, grooves and joints for their precise fit.

Flat chisels

The most commonly used are flat chisels with a width of 6.10.20 and 30 mm. They are used for finishing surfaces, chamfering, leveling ends, cutting curved surfaces, etc. The flat chisel consists of a wooden handle and a flat sharpened blade perpendicular to the handle. also, it happens that the blade is rounded so that it does not touch anything during delicate work, but usually it still remains rectangular and pointed. Most often, such a tool is used for detailed work, leveling of wood surfaces, or the completion of the form. How to Use a Wood chisel? It is desirable to hold this flat chisel at an angle of 35-60 ° to the surface. However, like all chisels, you can use this as you see fit, in any way: gently and smooth, or roughly for a faster result.
