I read the following thread:
http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?201021-PM-V11-in-1-8-quot-Would-you-get-one
And the following things jumped out at me:
Am I the only one holding back from jumping into the PM-V11 world because there's no 1/8"?
I want these in PM-V11 as well. The sizes 1/8", 3/16" and 1/4" are the ones I use most frequently for dovetail tails.
I want a 1/8" for chopping out small dovetails. Today I use a LN 1/8" chisel for that.
I have every 1/16" from 1/8" to 1/2" then every 1/8" to 1".
For my string inlay I actually use a 1/32"chisel from Blue Spruce, which I love.
Admittedly my needs are for special uses, but I use a 3/16 chisel regularly, in fact more than a 1/4" or 3/8". One of my friends who does a lot of string inlay uses a 1/8" chisel on almost every project and uses a 1/16" chisel even more. It all comes down to what types of work you do.
Let me start by saying that I am waiting for the promised smaller PM-V11 chisels, I already have the rest of the set.... I have a Stanley Sweet Heart 1/8" that works well.
When I make small dovetails, I pull out that Stanley chisel, as well as my the Lee Valley detail chisels

Side note: I did not know that Blue Spruce made a 1/32" chisel until I read it here.
What do you use for cutting small dovetails? Does anyone els use the Lee Valley detail chisels? What else do you do with the smaller detail chisels?
