863600Chisel / Mortise Chisel Set - 4/6 / 10/12 mm - for Mortises

I am an amateur woodworker. I bought these to make mortises in some 4x4 timbers that would become my workbench. While my work isn't stellar (okay, it's all a bit crooked), these performed exceptionally. Nice, clean cuts with easily controlled precision. A very satisfying experience. I was able to cut 4 mortises in about an hour, and I was taking my time. The tools look nice and are evidently well-made. They feel nice in the hand and take a good strike very well. If you've never used a cheap chisel before, there is a very unpleasant sensation in both hands when a mallet strikes a bunch of cheap wood and metal. It's like striking a stone with a shovel. These absorb a modest blow and drive straight. I did have to sharpen it somewhat quickly after the first use (I used right out of the box as they seemed plenty sharp to me), but once I honed it, it kept the edge for a surprising time. My only complaint is that there was no storage included, but that's mostly because I haven't fashioned a way to store them yet. I suppose if they'd included a bag or roll for them, once I had a place to store them I'd get rid of whatever they sent anyway, so who cares. An excellent value that immediately upped my workshop capabilities.

These chisels are excellent, definitely makes morticing easier that using my usual bench chisels. They were sharp and square out of the box, just gave the edge a light polish and was on my way. The only issue I had was that some of them were sharp all over - ie the non cutting edges were sharp enough to cut my finger on while holding the chisel. This was quickly remedied with some fine sand paper to knock down the machining burrs on the corners (and a little superglue for my finger) then straight back to work. I've had great luck with Narex chisels over the years and will definitely look at their offerings first if I ever need to expand my collection in the future.

Never used mortising chisels before. I have a project that I would need to mortise. Was not going to spend the money on a drill press mortising chisel ( not yet anyways) so I decided to try these out after reading all the previous reviews. Chisels, along with the Bora mallet arrived like the next day. Tried them out and could not believe how doable it was using these chisels. I do not know how to compare to more expensive chisels and what actually constitutes a superior chisel, but for me these chisels are awesome. Sharp as a tack. Have already completed two mortises and have several more to go. Next step is to learn how to re-sharpen though no issues to this point. Would prefer to buy USA but in this case do not mind helping out a good ally.

These chisels are awesome I love them they cut extremely easy and because the whole entire shaft is sharp it cleans the corner out nice now the reason I gave it four stars is dew to the Packaging they send it to you in a cardboard box your chisel are protected I was hoping for them to come in a case

Pretty sharp out of the box due to good Milling processes. It took about 10 mins per chisel to flatten the backs and polish the bevel using diamond plates. Bevels were square and perpendicular to the sides. Something that caught me off guard was how light the chisels are in comparison to others I have used. I had concerns that maintaining a bevel would be difficult but they have worked well. First task was cutting 4 mortises at 2.25" x 4.5" x 3.5". A quick polish of the bevel between cuts provided a super sharp bevel that cut well and dug deep with light strikes from the mallet.

Great chisels, I have tile full set of flat chisels as well, unreal quality!

Seem to be well made chisels for the money. Need some work out of the box however, they are still decently sharp and do not require much work to get them right. The handles are well made and built to last. I am totally pleased with this purchase.

I've been slowly building my capabilities as a woodworker, and have been doing far more work with hand tools lately. When I first started working with hand tools, I used whatever set of chisels I could find cheaply at my local big box store. After seeing several small projects destroyed or requiring rework due to use of dull chisels or chisels that couldn't hold an edge (I work mainly with Oak and Walnut), I broke down and started looking for something better. This is my second Narex chisel set. I previously purchased the Narex socket chisel set, and was so impressed that I ordered this set for doing mortise and tusk/tenon work. The Narex chisels have similar quality to more expensive brands, and with some TLC, will probably last just as long.

had to own these

Gayet keskin, kalın ve sağlam, sadece ucu değil, kenarları bile kesiyor, denge elinizde de iş eldiveni kullanın

Great set of chisels and not a bad price either

Klasse Werkzeug.

Scalpelli dedicati per mortase, consentono di fare un difficile lavoro di scavo, la loro geometria e massa sono essenziali per seguite gli angoli. Se non volete un set completo (io ho preso quello da 4) e volete comprarelne 1 per provare preferite uno di taglia piccola 0,4cm è quello che uso di più.
