Chisel Paring - 6 steels

[Derek Cohen]

I have completed the second part of the chisel steel testing. This involves the durability of 6 steels when paring. The link below is to my website:

I have also posted the first assessment, for reference. This dealt with the behaviour of 5 steels used to chop dovetails:

Looking forward to the discussion.

Thanks for posting Derek !

A real world test is the best kind. Good pictures and honest evaluations. What could be better !

Thanks again.

Good stuff, Derek... and interesting findings!! :)

The only additional "nice to have" would have been "before" pictures of the blades to clarify the wear during the test but this alone sure seems to tell a lot!!
