Win

In conjunction with Robert Sorby, we’re giving one lucky reader the chance to win a fantastic set of five bevel edge chisels, with traditional bolster and ferrule design, all supplied in a robust wooden presentation box

Bevel edge chisels are the most versatile and universally used of all bench chisels and should form an integral part of any woodworker’s toolkit. They can be used either free-hand for making a gentle paring cut or with light mallet strokes. Side bevels reduce the risk of binding in the cut as well as allowing access to undercuts, like dovetails. Please note: These chisels aren’t recommended for heavy-duty applications.

Two styles of bevel edge chisel

Robert Sorby offers two styles of bevel edge chisel: woodworkers can choose between a traditional bolster and ferrule design with leather washer, or opt for the elegant gilt edge tapered bolster and ferrule form.

Both designs are popular and offer the user slightly different grip preferences. Both are made from exactly the same material and produced to the same high standards of craftsmanship. Each chisel has a 25° primary bevel and a 30° secondary bevel to easily allow the cutting of harder woods.

For softwoods such as pine, woodworkers might want to re-profile to 20° for the primary and 25° for the secondary bevels. Very hard woods such as oak might require a steeper profile – 30° for the primary bevel and 35° for the secondary bevel.

This set of bevel edge chisels is supplied in a robust beech plywood presentation box and includes the following sizes: ¼, , ½, ¾ and 1in.
