Bevel chisels are essential tools in woodturning, used to cut clean chips, beads, and sharp edges. Different types and sizes of miter chisels are used for various cuts such as planing, peeling, scraping, shearing, and V-cut. Woodturning is an ancient art used to create furniture elements such as chair legs, bed frames, and railings.
A bevel chisel is defined as a tool that can cut clean chips from the work done, most often in the process of churning wood. Such chisels can also cut beads and create sharp edges. They are an essential tool in woodturning.
Woodturning, otherwise known as spindle turning or center machining, involves placing a piece of wood on a lathe with the grain of the wood parallel to the lathe. This art has been performed for many years throughout history. Historically and still today, woodturning is used to create some furniture elements such as newel posts, chair legs, bed frames and railings. Skew chisels are used to perform several important functions during this woodturning process.
Most miter chisels are made with a wooden handle and a stainless steel blade. There are many types and sizes of miter chisels, including the flat-sided miter chisel, an oval miter chisel, and a rounded miter chisel. Each is used to create different types of cuts.
In addition to different types of miter chisels, there are also different sizes of each available, ranging from 1/2 inch (1.27cm) to 1 inch (2.54cm). The size and type of cut you want will be the main determination in deciding what type and size of miter chisel you should use. The names of the most commonly used types of cuts are planing cut, peeling cut, scraping cut, shearing cut and V-cut.
A planing cut is the one commonly used for creating a smooth surface. A peel cut is used to remove wood from the surface of the piece of wood you are working with. Scrape cutting is performed in a similar way to peel cutting but with less pressure applied so as not to remove as much of the wood.
In a slicing cut, as the wood turns, the bevel chisel is turned to one side and held against the wood to create a true deep slice in the wood. The V-Cut is created in the same way as the Slice Cut, but the chisel is used differently. Instead of being held straight against the wood as it turns, the chisel is held at an angle. You cut a corner from the left and then from the right to create a wedge in the wood, similar to a slice cut, but in a V shape.
