Rob Cosman’s IBC 17 Degree Bench Chisel

If you have ever chopped out waste in softer woods (Pine, Cedar, Aspen, Poplar, etc) then you have felt the frustration of the wood fibers collapsing and tearing out in big chunks with typical bench chisels ground at 25-30 degrees.  I fixed this problem by grinding a more acute bevel on an IBC chisel specifically for chopping out waste in softer woods. Chop waste in soft woods without chunks tearing out. 17 degree primary bevel cleanly slices through soft wood fibers. Available in custom turned cherry handle. Product Details: Size:  Bench chisel handle length: approximately 3.9 inches. Bench chisel total length: approximately 9 inches. Bench chisel blade length, including the tang is approximately 6 inches. Blade widths available: 1/4, 1/2 inch.  Handle: Cherry handle is turned precisely on a lathe so it fits nicely to the ferrule and the end cap and have a butter smooth surface.  Shaped for a comfortable grip in the hand, they are finished with three coats of oil.
