Q: Can this chisel be used without the guide block?
Yes, though this magnetic corner chisel is most accurate with the guide block in place, since its magnets and outside faces keep the blade square to the routed pocket every time.
50S0101 - 3/8"" Magnetic Corner Chisel
This chisel is designed specifically for squaring off the corners of routed hinge gains.
The 3/8" square blade is precision ground with a 35° bevel on each face, made of long-wearing A2 tool steel, and hardened to Rc60.
Though it can be used on its own, greater accuracy is ensured by use of the 2" tall anodized aluminum guide block. Two embedded rare-earth magnets hold the chisel squarely in place, while the outside faces of the block register against the routed pocket. A tap on the chisel cuts the corner square and flush with the routed edges.
You will come to appreciate the fine edge and long-wearing properties of the chisel when you finally have to resharpen it, as sharpening corner chisels is never an easy task!

Yes, though this magnetic corner chisel is most accurate with the guide block in place, since its magnets and outside faces keep the blade square to the routed pocket every time.
Hone one face at a time with a fine hone that has abrasive on only one side, checking often that each edge stays straight and square before moving to the second face.
The two cutting edges meet right at the corner, so honing one face can create a step on the adjacent face near the inside corner if you work too fast or skip checking the edge.
It's honed with a 35° bevel on each face and hardened to Rc60 for a long-wearing edge.
