Description The Robert Sorby 286 Bevelled Edge Framing Chisel, is similar to the 285 Framing Chisel but with a bevel edge to give extra clearance in the cut. The blade is tapered along the length and is fitted with a heavy duty Ash handle. The second hoop on the handle allows for repeated mallet blows and will prevent splitting or mushrooming. The heavy duty blade on these chisels was originally developed in co-operation with professional woodworkers for a specific application. These tools are used by many professional timber framehouse builders who demand high performance and quality. The heavy duty blade and handle are designed to withstand the extreme use that these craftsman expect from their equipment. They are precision ground for accuracy. Available in 3 sizes: 1″, 1 1/2″ and 2″ and now also available as a skew version (separate product listing). Overall length: 15.1/2″.
