Features:
– Hollow Square Mortise Chisel
– Size: 5/8 inch
– [15,9mm]
– Most mortisers are equipped to handle 1/4″, 3/8″, 1/2″ and 5/8″ square chisels.
Converted to metric: 6,35mm, 9,5mm, 12,7mm and 15,9mm.
Some are even capable of handling a 3/4″ chisel, but keep in mind that this is a pretty healthy chunk to cut at one time and may require a lot of physical exertion. Remember that even if you’re cutting a mortise that is 3/4″ wide, you don’t need to cut the entire width in one pass. A few cuts down one side of the mortise and then back up the other with a 1/2″ chisel will be just as effective and not nearly as taxing on you as the operator.
Advantages:
– Faster than a chisel by hand
– Consistent in size
– Strong joints
– Reliable joints
– Looks good
– Large glue surfaces enhancing the strength
– Convenient
