Metalworking chisel Proline 81718 — single-piece hand chisel for metalworking

Proline 81718 is a single-piece metalworking chisel designed for controlled cutting, shaping and small-scale material removal on metal surfaces. The tool is intended for hand use in workshops and DIY settings where precise edge trimming, burr removal and light chiselling of steel and other metals are required. Its single-piece construction provides straightforward handling and predictable performance for routine metalworking tasks.

Advantages

The one-piece construction of this metalworking chisel reduces the risk of joint failure and provides consistent transfer of hammer energy to the cutting edge. The hardened and tempered cutting face maintains edge integrity during repeated use. The chisel’s geometry is designed to offer a stable cutting angle and easy control for accurate trimming and shaping. Its compact, hand-held form factor makes it suitable for confined spaces and for operations requiring deliberate manual control.

Suitable for

• Removing small amounts of metal and trimming edges
• Deburring and finishing metal parts
• Light chiselling operations on steel, iron and non-ferrous metals
• Workshop and DIY repair tasks requiring manual chiselling

Key specifications

• Tool type: single-piece hand chisel for metalworking
• Intended material: metal (steel, iron, non-ferrous metals)
• Construction: solid one-piece design for direct impact transfer
• Primary use: cutting, trimming, deburring and light chiselling
• Ergonomics: compact hand-held form for controlled manual use

How to use

Place the chisel cutting edge against the workpiece at the desired angle and secure the workpiece to prevent movement. Strike the chisel head with a suitable hammer or mallet to remove material in controlled increments. Maintain a steady hand and use short, controlled blows when trimming edges or deburring to avoid removing excessive material. After use, inspect the cutting edge for nicks or deformation and re-sharpen or regrind as needed to restore cutting performance.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate eye and hand protection during chiselling operations and clamp the workpiece securely. Match the hammer weight to the chisel and task to avoid overloading the tool. Store the chisel in a dry place to prevent corrosion and periodically check the cutting edge for wear; sharpen with suitable files or grinding equipment following proper safety procedures.
