One of those essentials
Bevel edge chisels are perhaps the most popular type of woodworking chisel. They're a favourite of the cabinet maker but ought to find a home in everyone's toolkit.
Key components
Blade, with superior grind
Forged and made of fine-grained, chrome manganese steel and tempered to 59 HRC, for strength and a long-lasting edge.
It is then finely ground and finished with a 25° bevel. The superior grind allows greater access into tighter spots, such as the corners of dovetails.
All Axminster Rider chisels only require a final honing once received to achieve a fine, long-lasting edge. We would suggest the addition of a 30° micro-bevel, making sharpening much quicker.
Soft grip handle
We understand that wooden handles aren't for everyone; especially if you're working on site, where they can be subjected to some less than favourable conditions. With this in mind, we've produced a range of Bevel Edge chisels with a two part soft-grip handle; an oval designed with softer ribbed inserts, giving you a secure, comfortable grip.
The blades of these Rider exclusive bevel edge chisels are fine-grained, chrome manganese steel. They are carefully hardened and tempered to 59 HRC. Sharpened and ground with a 25° bevel, the blades require only final honing to achieve a fine, long lasting edge (we suggest a 30° micro-bevel). In cross section, the blades are slightly slimmer than a standard chisel. This allows much improved clearance when working into a corner and helps prevent binding in a slot. Each chisel features a tough polypropylene handle with TPE softer inserts. The handles are oval and the softer inserts ribbed. These features ensure comfortable yet secure grip giving you complete control. A metal striking cap allows you to use a steel hammer for heavier cuts. The blades are 100mm long and the overall chisel length is 250mm. European made.
