If you’ve ever tried to use a conventional bench chisel to remove waste from a tight corner, you might have been frustrated that the cutting edge can’t quite reach into the corner. This is especially true with hand-cut dovetail joinery. Clearing out the waste between the tails can be tricky.
Infinity Cutting Tools Dovetail Chisels 101-809. The steep bevel angles allow the blade to fit into tight corners.
We’re proud to offer a pair of dovetail chisels by Narex. As you can see below, their geometry is what sets them apart from your ordinary bench chisel.
The unique triangular cross-section of a dovetail chisel (left) distinguishes it from a standard bench chisel (right).
The Narex dovetail chisels copy their unique shape from Asian-style chisels, including the recessed pocket on the back that allows for faster flattening of the back when you first sharpen the chisel.
These chisels aren’t designed to replace your standard set of bench chisels, but rather complement them. When it comes to paring and removing waste, especially around the tails of hand-cut dovetail joinery, these chisels can’t be beat.
But you’ll find yourself reaching for these chisels for other tasks, as well. They excel at fine-tuning almost any joinery for a perfect, gap-free fit.
Narex dovetail chisels mimic Asian-style chisels with a pocket formed on the back.
Available in 1/2″ and 3/4″ widths, these affordable chisels take a keen edge and will up the craftsmanship of your work.
