Choose an option to view item availability.
These are standard North American timber-framing chisels.
They taper from 7/16" thick at the shoulder to about 3/16" at the bevelled cutting edge. The sides are bevelled at a 60° angle to the face but, most important, they have an even width of land, making the chisel suitable for dovetail work. The blade lengths are about 8 3/4".
This bevel edge framing chisel has bevelled sides cut at a 60° angle with an even width of land, so it can get into angled corners and dovetail joints that a square-edged framing chisel can't reach.
Yes, the even width of land along the bevel keeps the cutting edge accurate corner to corner, which is exactly what dovetail work demands.
Blade length runs about 8 3/4", giving enough reach for standard North American timber-framing joints.
Match it to your joinery: the 1" width suits finer dovetail work, the 2" handles wider timber-frame joints, and the three-piece set covers both plus the 1 1/2" size in between.
