An awesome starter set of chisels for any aspiring wood worker. I bought these as my first set to learn on and I am very happy with them. I have since learned how to sharpen woodworking tools and these chisels can take a great edge. I have attached photos of the edges I have attained and a video demonstration of these edges.
I have also attached photos that include the dimensions of the various chisels included.
Included in this set is a 1", 3/4", and a 1/2" chisel.
Pros:
*Super great price
*Can take a razor fine edge
*Edges last a while
*Three convenient sizes included
Cons:
*None
Additional Considerations:
When you get chisels you will need to flatten the back and hone them right away. I personally use the following diamond plate stones for sharpening:
Ultra Sharp II Diamond Sharpening Stone Kit - Coarse/Medium/Extra Fine
After sharpening I use
Green Chrome Oxide Compound, 6 oz.
applied to
Trend U*DWS/HP/LS Honing Compound Leather Strop
in order to strop the blade to a mirror finish at 15000 grit. That is how I get the blade seen in the video I attached. When it comes to hand tools always keep them sharp!
Overall: 5/5 stars (>=.5 rounds up, <.5 rounds down) => 5 stars
