    Works for me. Like when I have a 6mm mortise chisel...but need to chop a 5/16" wide mortise.."hopscotch" down and back....1" wide chisel to shave the walls smooth...

    But, then again...I cut the tenons first...and size the mortise to the tenon...I can always bare a mortise a bit bigger, then trying to fatten up a tenon...

    Suppose to allow for a layer of glue? Like the thickness of a dollar bill....

    Wood Owl auger bits..Brace and drill out.

    Chop out rests with chisel.


    Chopping is waste of energy..
    I dont even have a pure mortise chisel.
