Hand wood chisel faster tools 04-1-0115 with an 18 mm cutting edge is a bench chisel intended for precise carpentry and joinery tasks. The narrow 18 mm blade is suitable for paring, trimming and fitting joints, enabling controlled removal of small amounts of material. The tool is designed for use on soft and hardwoods in workshop and on-site settings and is compatible with standard mallet and hand pressure techniques.

Advantages

The 18 mm blade delivers accurate, narrow cuts for detail work without sacrificing edge stability. A hardened and ground cutting edge holds sharpness for repeated paring and trimming operations. The blade geometry supports clean shaving of wood fibres, reducing tear-out when used with correct grain orientation. The handle and tang design provide secure grip and transfer of force for controlled chisel work.

Suitable for

• Paring and trimming of wood joints
• Cleaning out mortises and dovetails
• Shaping small profiles and detailing furniture parts

Key specifications

• Cutting edge width: 18 mm
• Blade type: straight bevel edge for paring and chopping
• Material: hardened steel blade for wear resistance
• Intended use: manual woodworking with mallet or hand pressure
• Suitable for: softwoods and hardwoods

How to use

Hold the chisel with a firm grip on the handle and position the bevel side as required for paring or chopping. For paring, use controlled hand pressure and move the blade along the wood grain; for chopping or removing larger amounts use a mallet and strike the handle squarely. Keep the blade angled appropriately to the work surface to avoid undercutting, and support thin workpieces to prevent splitting. Regularly check edge sharpness and hone as needed to maintain cutting performance.

Usage recommendations

Ensure the chisel is sharpened before each detailed task and use a cutting guide or fence for consistent results. When working across grain, take light passes to reduce tear-out. Store the chisel with a blade protector and avoid striking the blade directly with metal hammers.
