What is a cold chisel and what is it used for?

A cold chisel is a versatile hand tool mainly used for working with stone, brick and metal. It features a flat edge designed to be struck with a hammer, allowing for precise work to be undertaken. The tool's durability and precision make it a staple in workshops and industrial settings as well as on building sites.

 

 How to use a cold chisel

To use a cold chisel effectively, the following steps may be useful:

 

  1. Choose a chisel with the appropriate width and bevel angle for your task.
  2. Ensure the piece is secured, to prevent movement.
  3. Place the chisel's edge at the desired cutting point, ensuring it is perpendicular to the surface.
  4. Use a hammer to strike the chisel's end, applying firm, controlled blows. Start with lighter taps to create an opening, then use heavier strikes to deepen the cut.
  5. Keep the chisel aligned and avoid excessive force to prevent damage to either the tool or the workpiece.
  6. Continue striking until the desired cut is achieved.

 

 Can you use a cold chisel on wood?

Cold chisels are specifically designed for metal/stone working and are not typically used on wood. Using a cold chisel on wood can be ineffective and potentially damaging to both the tool and the wood. For woodworking tasks, it is recommended to use specifically designed wood chisels.
