Metalworking Chisels
Power Through Metal Projects with Our Metalworking Chisels
Metalworking chisels are essential tools for shaping, cutting, and removing unwanted material from metal during fabrication, repair, and construction projects. These chisels feature a hardened steel blade designed to withstand forceful strikes from a hammer.
Types of Metalworking Chisels and Their Uses
Metalworking chisels come in various designs, each suited for specific tasks:
Cold Chisels: These general-purpose chisels have a flat blade ideal for chipping away metal, removing rust or debris, and making clean cuts in sheet metal.
Bolster Chisels: These chisels feature a flat blade with a reinforced metal bolster at the top for absorbing hammer blows without damaging the handle. They are suitable for heavy-duty tasks like breaking through sheet metal or splitting metal rods.
Masonry Chisels (Brick Chisels): These chisels have a wider blade designed for breaking or chipping away concrete, brick, or masonry materials.
Stone Chisels: These specialized chisels have a pointed or V-shaped blade for intricate stonework tasks like shaping edges or removing mortar.
Choosing the Right Metalworking Chisel
Selecting the appropriate chisel depends on the material you're working with and the desired outcome:
Material: Choose a chisel specifically designed for the material you need to work with, such as cold chisels for metal, masonry chisels for concrete or brick, or stone chisels for stonework.
Task: Consider the specific task at hand. Cold chisels are suitable for general metalwork, while bolster chisels offer extra durability for heavy-duty applications. Masonry chisels are ideal for concrete or brickwork, and stone chisels are suited for shaping stone.
Size and Weight: Metalworking chisels come in various sizes and weights. Choose a size and weight that you can comfortably handle and manoeuvre for optimal control and safety.
