Bench Chisels and Mortising Chisels: Know the Difference Not all chisels are the same, and the design makes all the difference: 🔹 Bench Chisel: • Lightweight and versatile for paring, trimming, and light chopping. • Thin blade with beveled edges for precise, delicate work. • Handle: No metal ring or cap, so it’s not designed to be struck hard—use it with care! 🔹 Mortising Chisel: • Thick, durable blade for chopping deep mortises and prying wood. • Squared edges for added strength and precision
