Usage Tips and Best Practices

• Pre‑Heat the Metal: For tougher alloys, pre‑heating can reduce cutting resistance and prolong blade life.
• Maintain a Consistent Angle: Keep the chisel at a steady angle relative to the workpiece. A slight deviation can cause uneven cuts or premature wear.
• Use Proper Lubrication: Applying cutting fluid or oil reduces friction, improves surface finish, and extends tool life.
• Inspect Regularly: Check for edge dullness or micro‑cracks. Re‑edge or replace the chisel when performance drops noticeably.

Maintenance and Care

After each use, clean the blade with a soft brush to remove metal shavings. Dry thoroughly to prevent rust. Store in a dry environment; if possible, apply a light coat of oil to the blade surface to inhibit oxidation.
