Jim L. Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Don't forget about the Lee Valley version of the Narex chisels... these are great too:http://www.leevalley.com/US/Wood/page.aspx?p=67707&cat=1,41504The Lee Valley versions are made to imperial dimensions, and they have free shipping this week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Bussy Posted August 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 I have no idea how I made a mess of the quote ....The Lee Valley appears to be a mix of the two grades. I already ordered the Narex from Amazon so that was free shipping too. I think the hornbeam will be a little more duras than the Beech, and I'm not afraid of metric.

ponderingturtle Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 I know Marc recommends metric over imperial chisels. So that it isn't an exact fit if you are say cleaning up a 1/2" mortise, you are less likely to nick the sides if you have a little wiggle room.
