Then I took to it with the Bisaiguë to make the angle shallower. One can get a sweat going if they are not careful. It goes through Pine/gluelam OK though.

Having never really tried it, I was wondering how a chisel edge would work and/or hold up against a glulam product. How's the business edge of the Bisaiguë looking after that job?

I have no electron microscope at home, but the whole end is a combination of mirror chrome look with blond wood dust.
It generates some force, so I need some ponies.
I clamped the wood to a trailer, and there is a stack of freeto sized chips in the road.

These are as usable as tf-chisels or am i overlooking something?

26mm is just over 1-inch, Charley. Generally speaking, hardwood joinery is often 1.5-inches thick...so when you're paring a mortise, for example, a 1.5-inch framing chisel is used. By the way, timber framing chisels are usually quite a bit longer than normal bench chisels (mine are 17.5-inches long). This gives the joint cutter leverage when waste material is being removed and depth when needed, as in the mortise finishing I just mentioned.

The major difference is that a "normal" framing chisel has a cutting edge that's 1.5-inches wide (or wider) and the steel section is much longer. There's much more mass in my TF chisels than there are in my bench chisels. Put simply, they're bigger in every aspect...even the handles are longer.

I know that you're trying to learn, Charley, so keep the questions coming. I love the idea of new people being interested in the old world craft of timber framing.

This type of framing chisel is known as a socket chisel, Charley, because the handle is formed and fitted into the socket end of the steel. There is no tang needed for this particular type of chisel.

abdon: I stand corrected , the angle fence is only attaches with F -Tracks , what confused me was , that the Timberwolf site mentioned it will work with the NFU machine, yes it will work but only I guess when you use the Ftrack , with other tracks Like the KSS L. Nov 28, 2020 22:52:01 GMT -5

glynnco: Did you order from GereedschapPro? I see them as in stock but I'm located in the US and am not sure if they ship here. I sent them an email asking about shipping but it was returned undeliverable... Dec 10, 2020 7:37:40 GMT -5
