Crown 174KR 4 Pc. Cryo Bench Chisel Set. A good quality bench chisel is an absolute essential for the woodworkers tool chest, but Crown really raises the bar here with this 4 piece set of Cryo chisels. The super cold of cryogenic treatment changes the molecular structure of the steel and vastly improves its edge retention ability. The blades are mirror polished and are honed and ready to go (though we recommend the user do a little extra final honing to their satisfaction before use). The edges are beveled to help get into tight areas, as when cleaning up narrow mortises or dovetails.
Completing the chisels are beautiful 5-1/4" long stained black Ash handles, which are contoured for a better grip and comfort in use. The handles are reinforced at top and bottom with steel ferrules so that you may feel at ease in striking them with a mallet when necessary. Depending on the size, the chisels in the set have an overall length of approximately 10-13/4" to 11-3/4", with a blade length of 4-3/4" to 5-3/4". England.
4 Pc. Set: Includes: a 1/4", 1/2", 3/4" and 1" chisel (6, 12, 20, and 25mm).
About Crown Cryogenic Tools
Years ago tool makers discovered the enormous benefits of cryogenically (super-cold) treated tool cutters, especially plane blades. Now this technology has been applied to select Crown Turning Tools to bring a giant leap in turning tool performance.
Cryo treating cutting tools alters the crystalline molecular form of key ingredients in the metal. This altered structure helps the metal achieve a vast improvement in wear resistance for longer tool life, longer edge retention, and a superior feel in use.
