Dan S Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 They are always trying to separate me from my money. http://www.leevalley.com/US/wood/page.aspx?cat=1,41504&p=71987 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry_in_SD Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 I am tempted also. Would be handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan S Posted July 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 I don't think I need a set of 4, but I have on several occasions wish I had like a 1" crank neck chisel for flushing stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardA Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 I hate when they do that,immeadiately after I'd just spent a bunch on wood! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomwolf Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 If you email customer service directly, they can arrange to buy individual chisels. The 1/2" is $34.50(CDN) and the 3/4" is $36.00(CDN), and based on that I expect the 1" would be $38-39. The next questions is, should I get one or two, and in what size? I expect 3/4" would be good for flush trimming plugs and so on, but if I get the 1/2" I can quickly clean out pretty much any dado I'm ever going to cut, whereas I'm not sure that the 3/4" is narrow enough.

Vyrolan Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Why these over a flush trim saw for trimming plugs and why these over a router plane for dadoes? Is it "just another way" or do some of you prefer this way (if so, why)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cochese Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Perhaps a bit of a solution in search of a problem. In that particular example, nothing stopping one from using a regular chisel. One of the biggest Narex fans there is (I own the entire line in the light finish) but can't see myself buying these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a specialty tool for sure, but it has it's uses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomwolf Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Or in inside corners. As for dados, I would use a router plane to level the bottom, but they do not remove the waste quickly. I've used a mallet and regular chisel with the bevel down, but I did not feel like I had the best control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
