Great beginner chisels, but soft.
4 Stars
Great beginner chisels, but soft.
I am relatively new to woodworking and this is my first set of chisels that didn't come out of an estate sale. I have some experience with blades and a good bit with other metalwork, so even though I don't know what I'm doing, I kind of do.I narrowed down my choice between this set, and the Irwin Marples. I went with Narex because in the year 2016, if something made of steel is coming out of Czech, they probably know what they're doing... but if it's coming out of China, you don't have any guarantee it's even going to be fit for opening paint cans. Don't get me wrong, I've had some great Chinese stuff... it's just that it's a crap shoot.I've spent about three hours getting these four chisels ready and here is what I've found, that I didn't get from other reviews.First, they're coated with some kind of varnish. I didn't have any acetone on hand so I just sanded it off. It gums up the sandpaper (I am doing scary sharp, in this case sandpaper sprayglued to a marble tile).Second, the backs are fairly flat. I am adding a photo of the worst of them. This photo is after 220, 320, and in the middle of 400. I didn't spend more than a couple minutes on each grit (coming back to that below). The machine marks are all gone at this point, except for in the hollow in the middle, which I've read is desirable (in that you only have a U shaped portion on the end to grind flat). But you can see that on this one, the tip of the chisel is still higher than the U-shaped low spot. I went back to 220 for another pass, then back through the grits (about 30 seconds each), and by 600 it was totally flat to the tip. Remember this was the worst one... the others cleaned up on the first pass. Which brings us to...Third, the reason I dinged them for a star. They're soft. Too soft, in my opinion. None of the four required the type of effort I was expecting to put into them to flatten the backs and get them sharp. It took at most half of the time I was expecting. I was genuinely surprised at the size of the burrs I was getting from 320 and 400 grit sandpaper, and the speed at which they showed up. That means I'm going to spend at least twice as much time sharpening. In my case, I already know what I'm doing with sharpening, so I could see this being a disaster for blade newcomers who still need jigs and contraptions to get a razor edge on a blade.Now they're great chisels, from what I can tell - I can dig out a clean-edged mortise in pine with the 6mm chisel without using a mallet. They get four stars for that reason. But I bought them to use, and a lot, and I definitely have the feeling that this set is for newcomers to figure out what they really want in their final chisels. My problem is, I already knew I wanted them harder. If I could do it over again, I would have saved a little more and gone with some chisels I knew were going to keep an edge longer. Ultimately I'm not sure why they are so soft: I think they could have gone a whole extra +5HRC and still not risked breakage.
