Chisel MODECO EXPERT CR-V 18 mm MN-67-068

Chisel MODECO EXPERT CR-V 18 mm MN-67-068 is a woodworking chisel made from chrome-vanadium (CR-V) steel with an 18 mm cutting width, designed for shaping, paring and cutting wood in carpentry and joinery. The tool provides a precise cutting edge suitable for fine trimming, mortising and refining joints. It is intended for both professional and hobby use where durable steel and accurate edge control are required.

Advantages

The CR-V steel construction offers increased wear resistance and easier sharpening compared with standard carbon blades. An 18 mm cutting width provides a balance between control and material removal, allowing accurate paring and smaller chisel cuts. The blade geometry is optimized for stable edge retention and predictable chip flow, which helps maintain clean cuts and consistent joint fits during repeated use.

Suitable for

• Paring and trimming door and window joinery
• Cleaning out mortises and shoulders
• Fine shaping of tenons and dovetails
• General carpentry and furniture repair tasks

Key specifications

• Blade material: chrome-vanadium (CR-V) steel
• Cutting width: 18 mm
• Intended use: shaping, paring, cutting wood
• Suitability: professional and hobby woodworking

How to use

Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise or with clamps to prevent movement. Hold the chisel with a comfortable grip and position the bevel or flat face according to the cut required. For paring, slice thin shavings away from the workpiece using controlled, even strokes; for chopping mortises, use a mallet to deliver measured blows to the chisel butt. Regularly check the cutting edge and re-sharpen on a suitable stone or sharpening system when the blade begins to dull. Follow standard safety practices: keep hands behind the cutting edge and wear eye protection when removing chips.

Usage recommendations

Store the chisel in a protective sleeve or tool roll to protect the edge. To extend service life, clean and lightly oil the blade after use and avoid contact with corrosive substances. Recondition the bevel and flat face on sharpening stones to maintain optimal cutting performance.
