Customer Reviews
If you have ever cut a half-blind dovetail then you know how challenging cleaning out the pin socket is, especially in the corners. Not happy with the skew and fishtail chisels available, I designed and made my own half-blind chisel and they work great!
-
These chisels are "Cosmanized" from a WoodRiver 3/8 inch socket chisel with a Bubinga wood handle.
-
Fishtail-shape makes accessing the back corners of the half-blind socket easy.
-
Sides of the chisel tip are sharp to sever fibers on the pin side wall and makes it easier to get into the corner.
-
One chisel does both corners verses a left and right set of skew chisels.
-
Pushing through endgrain is tough; unlike skew chisels, my chisel keeps your line of force straight.
-
My students love them! Try it once and you will never want to cut half-blind dovetails without it.
