NH Brand 5/8" Mortice Chisel and Bit with 13/16" shank

NH Brand 5/8" Mortice Chisel & Bit with 13/16" shank

• Professional quality chisel and bit set, 5/8" size with a 13/16" shank.
• Our trade range of chisels are manufactured in Japan to a very high specification in both the accuracy of the machining and the hardness of the steel.
• The design of the Japanese pattern could well reflect the use of softer timbers used in traditional Japanese furniture making, the auger having a deep, high ratio flute, quickly removing the longer slivers softwoods create. The auger bit on this type has a point on the end, one cutting spur and a single spiral for rapid chip clearance. The single spur is easy to sharpen and the bits cut evenly and fast, even in the hardest of timbers.
• The chisel is finely ground and slightly tapered from the tips by 0.1mm to allow easy removal from the mortice. A deep waste slot prevents the waste material becoming jammed around the auger.
• These mortice chisels and bits are made from the finest Japanese carbon steels, selected as ideal for these tools. Often imitated but never equaled.
• Either way, a high quality chisel will enhance your morticer's performance to a degree where once tried one you will never use a low quality chisel again. Admittedly, they are a big investment, but, what a difference!
• N.B. As all the auger bits have to accommodate different machines they are supplied long and will need cutting with a conventional hacksaw blade to suit the specific machine for which purchased.
