Metalworking chisel Proline 81716 — metal chisel, 1 pc

Proline 81716 metalworking chisel is a single-piece hardened chisel designed for cutting, shaping and removing metal in fabrication and repair tasks. The tool features a durable forged steel body and a sharpened cutting edge intended for use with hammer strikes. It is sized and balanced for controlled chipping, joint fitting and general metalworking operations where a robust, wear-resistant edge is required.

Advantages

The chisel offers a hardened cutting edge that maintains sharpness under repeated impact, reducing dressing frequency. Its single-piece forged construction improves durability and resists breakage at the head-to-shank junction. The geometry of the blade provides effective material removal on a variety of ferrous and non-ferrous metals while the plain hardened finish supports ease of maintenance and cleaning.

Suitable for

• Chip removal and splitting of metal parts during fabrication
• Joint fitting and clearance adjustment in assemblies
• Removing rivets, scale and weld spatter
• General metal repair and maintenance tasks

Key specifications

• Construction: single-piece forged steel chisel
• Cutting edge: hardened and ground for impact use
• Finish: plain hardened surface for maintenance and durability
• Intended use: hand-held with hammer strikes for metalworking
• Pack quantity: supplied as one chisel per pack

How to use

Secure the workpiece and protect surrounding areas before starting. Position the chisel bevel against the metal at the required angle and strike the chisel head with a suitable hammer to remove material progressively. For precise fitting, use light controlled blows and check the fit frequently; for heavier removal increase striking force while maintaining correct alignment. After use, dress the edge if required and store the chisel in a dry place to avoid corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and gloves. Ensure the hammer is compatible with the chisel head and inspect the tool for cracks or excessive wear before use. Do not use the chisel on hardened tool steels beyond its specified capability and avoid side prying that can cause chisel failure.
