Robert Sorby 500 - Gilt Edge Bench Chisel - Soft Grip Handle - 3/8"

• The Robert Sorby Gilt Edge 500 chisel range now features an ergonomic soft grip handle providing the woodworker with greater control and comfort. These tools also have the added advantage of a built in striking cap – a feature that allows the controlled use of a mallet for removal of heavy stock material.
• Equally at home in the workshop or on site these popular tools offer the signature Robert Sorby blend of traditional steel alloys. The result is a high quality steel delivering the perfect harmony of edge retention and ultra-keen sharpness.
• 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 parting 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.
• Tapered bolster and ferrule design. Each chisel has a 25 degree primary bevel and a 30 degree secondary bevel to easily allow for the cutting of harder woods.
• For soft woods such as pine, woodworkers might want to re-profile the 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 for a secondary bevel).
