Veritas Bench Chisels Ref: V05S20

Turned and milled from O1 tool steel (Rc58-60), chosen for its ease of sharpening and good edge retention at low bevel angles. Each chisel has superb balance, with the centre of gravity at or below the tang/socket connection. The blades taper from shoulder to tip for strength and rigidity. Parallel sides and true bevel edges give full clearance when working into a corner. Lapping to a flatness of ±0.0127mm (0.0005") or better over the entire surface ensures the face of the blade is smooth and true. The blade-to-handle connection is similar to the Japanese, with a tang and a socket-like ferrule. The tang has flats to prevent the handle from rotating. Repeated mallet blows will only tighten the joint. Kiln baking the hard maple handle at a high temperature eliminates nearly all the moisture content and caramelises the natural sugars in the wood. This imparts a rich, dark colour, while helping to seal it against humidity changes. The handle has shallow flats parallel to the blade back.

The chisels are available in 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4" and 1" widths, with blades ranging from 117mm to 130mm long. The 1/4" and 3/8" chisels have 30° primary bevel angles; the others are ground at 25°. All have 2° micro-bevels and require only final honing before use.

Veritas Picture Framer's/Glazier's Hammer Ref: VK9923

Anyone who has framed pictures or re-glazed windows knows that driving brads or glazing points is tricky. The best method is to use a driving head that slides on the glass or picture backing.

This hammer’s hardened stainless-steel head has a rotating triangular face opposing a standard cylindrical face. As you rest the hammer head on the glass, one of the triangular faces flattens against the glass. This makes it easy to drive pins, brads or points, as you can hold the handle at any angle. Use the round face for pinning corners or flattening glazing points or for general work.

* Stainless-steel head with rotating triangular face
* One face flattens against the glass
* Driving head slides on the glass or picture backing
* Hold the handle at a convenient angle

Weight 130g, 270mm long
