February 14, 20179 yr Popular Post comment_97839 I ordered a very inexpensive set of mortise chisels, Narex. A Czech outfit, just chopped a test mortise using the 1/4" chisel and I gotta say, not bad for a set of three for 49 bucks. I purchased a cheap set because I want to custom grind the widths of the chisel, I didn't want to buy high end and grind em down. But these Narex's are pretty decent if you want a starter set to get going with, I would recommend these. Below, 1/4" inch mortise chopped at 5/8ths deep. Report

February 14, 20179 yr comment_97867 I have one Narex mortise chisel, a 1/4", and it does very well in my not-so-intensive-hand-tool shop. Definitely a good value. Report
February 14, 20179 yr Author comment_97872 One thing I forgot to mention is these chisels are beveled, which was a nice surprise when I got them out and started using them, you do not notice it at first, but when I started chopping I could tell right away. A very nice feature indeed. Report
