Another vote for SDS.

Shnapps95 your old chisels may have been better quality, I was referring to new ones which are as I described. 🙂

Short answer no. I`ve been fitting kitchens for nearly forty years and never once has one of those brackets failed, now I`ve tempted fate. :)

The two brands you mention are probably amongst the worst you can buy, they will hinder you with their massively thick edges and poor quality steel. I can recommend the Ashley Isles bevel edge chisels, really fine edges and good quality steel and the Robert Sorby bevel edge chisels, again, fine...

Jacob did mention it but I think we got away with it.😂

Oh no, he's slipped his leash, there's no stopping him now 😂

Good for you.

🤣🤣🤣

The thing is Richard I rarely if ever use a traditional carpenters square these days, I prefer engineers squares which are guaranteed accurate inside and out, at least the ones I buy are. What I find odd is that a person who has taught students over the years seems to have failed to acknowledge...

😂

Hilarious reply Jacob. Good boy, good dog, now sit, roll over, good boy. 🤣

Dogmatic as usual Jacob😂 and you got a sharpening dig in as well, brilliant, you never let me me down🤣 Another thing I was taught Jacob ( I was not ill advised) was to put your knife on or in the mark first and then move your square to it, you then don't need to see the line. I don't have a...

I've subsequently worked with people who have used the outside edges but always considered it poor practice, I'm not sure my teaching was unusual, just correct 😄. The other thing to remember is that when using college squares which weren't always treated with respect by everyone, it was a safer...

I guess it boils down to who you were taught by, although my tutors throughout were consistent. At school in wood work classes I was told to only use the inside "guaranteed" faces/edges, when I left school, working with my brother and other carpenters the same rule applied and finally at college...

Wow, even the great (no sarcasm, I genuinely hold you in high regard) Richard Jones advocates using the outside faces (or edges, your choice) of a traditional carpenters square. Oh well :)

No need for you to explain Jacob and I have not misunderstoodyou you. You were wrong, read back through the posts.🙂

Really? Read the posts you'll see.

Jacob is wrong again and as usual he is dogmatically telling us all he`s right. 😂

Yes I did, there was nothing wrong with it really, I just did the usual flattening and honing of it as per David Charlesworth's recommendation.

I recently purchased a Hock blade and a Ray Isles blade for my Record 4 1/2 smoother to compare them. For me the Ray Isles blade produced a sharper cutting edge which lasted about the same length of time as the Hock blade, the Isles blade was also a bit cheaper than the Hock, both fitted the...
