How to use

To use the IRWIN MS500 chisels, ensure the workpiece is securely clamped to a stable surface. Hold the chisel with the bevel side facing down for smoothing or bevel side up for deeper cuts.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the included sizes meet your specific project requirements
• Verify that you have a sharpening stone or honing guide for long-term maintenance
• Consider the type of wood you will be working with to ensure the chisel size is appropriate

Usage recommendations

Always wear safety glasses when using chisels to protect against flying wood chips. Regularly hone the blades to maintain optimal cutting performance and prevent the tool from slipping during use.
