Customer Reviews

If you have ever cut a half-blind dovetail then you know how challenging cleaning out the pin socket is, especially in the corners.  Not happy with the skew and fishtail chisels available, I designed and made my own half-blind chisel and they work great!

  • These chisels are made from our Rob Cosman IBC 5/8 inch bevel edge chisels with custom fit cherry handles. 

  • Has a 13/16 inch cutting depth.
  • Dovetail-shape makes accessing the back corners of the half-blind socket easy.

  • Sides of the chisel tip are angled to easily fit into the corners of the half-blind socket.

  • One chisel does both corners verses a left and right set of skew chisels.

  • Pushing through endgrain is tough; unlike skew chisels, our half-blind chisels keeps your line of force straight making it easier to push through the endgrain.

  • My students love them!  Try it once and you will never want to cut half-blind dovetails without it.

Packageing

Phenominal shipping packageing. It would be nice to know best way to remove the blade coating. Yet to use but it sure appears to be a tool to do the job!! I would also recommend a comment in the discription of chisels to note the particlar usefulness of the individual chisel. Like Rob mentioned during one of his live cast when he noted what the 3/8" chisel was particularly useful for. Quality superb. Buy quality & cry once!!!

I have been longing to purchase these two chisels for quite some time. Finally pulled the trigger at the sale. Great products for cleaning out dovetails.

Excellent.

I’m very happy I picked it up. Fit and finish is perfect.

The IBC half blind chisel is a quality tool that makes cleaning the tail pockets on a pin board much easier.

The x-10 works equally well.
