Marples Chisels

The Marples chisel line has been around for a long time. They are well known for quality and precision among fine craftsmen and professional tradesmen.

They offer a wide variety of chisels to suit different applications. Some are specifically designed for fine woodworking, construction or high-impact work. They also offer a line of bevel edge chisels that are popular for bench work.

High-carbon solid-forged steel blades

The high-carbon solid-forged steel blades used in marples chisels are engineered for maximum edge retention and superior performance. These chisels are designed with the end user in mind and are intended for industrial business use. They are a great choice for builders and remodelers as well as fine woodworkers.

Carbon steel is a popular knife making steel because it is durable and easy to sharpen. It also has a good balance of manganese and phosphorus for increased strength, hardness, and machinability.

Another popular choice for blades is spring steel. This type of steel contains a percentage of silicon, which gives it the ability to withstand lateral twisting and bends better than plain carbon steel.

However, this hardness can be a downside to the sword as it is difficult to temper. If the sword is not properly tempered, it can easily bend and chip. That is why it is important to check the sword’s steel type with a Rockwell hardness file before purchasing one.

Bevel edge chisels

The IRWIN Marples M373 Splitproof Bevel Edge Wood Chisels are forged from one piece of steel with edges bevelled to enable easier working in tight corners. They are fitted with two tone splitproof plastic handles which will withstand heavy usage.

The blades are made from A2 tool steel which is hardened to Rockwell 60-62, cryogenically treated and double tempered. They have square, parallel edges and are ground to a 30o secondary bevel.
