Robert Sorby Set of 5 Gilt Edge Chisels - Satinwood [Clearance]

Product Description

This is a set of gilt edged chisels in a wooden case (current stock is supplied in a carboard box).

Unused old shop stock waiting for a good home..

The handles we believe are satinwood or boxwood - we cant decide!

Gilt edge simple means a slim bevel on the sides of the chisel reducing bind.

This is a Robert Sorby Gilt Edge chisel set with satinwood (or boxwood)  handles. 

This set of 5 comes in a wooden presentation box and includes the following sizes: 1/4'', 3/8'', 1/2'', 3/4'' and 1''

These chisels are fitted with tapered brass ferrules for comfort and elegance.

Use free-hand or with with light mallet strokes. Side bevels reduce the risk of binding in the cut as well as allowing access to undercuts, like dovetails. These chisels are not suitable for heavy duty applications. Each chisel has a 25 degree primary bevel and a 30 degree secondary bevel to allow for cutting harder woods.

• For soft woods such as pine, woodworkers might want to re-profile the 20 degrees for the primary and 25 degrees for the secondary bevels. Very hard woods such as oak might require a steeper profile (30 degrees for primary bevel and 35 for a secondary bevel).
