- Included in Product: One Mayhew 3/8" Blade Width Cape Chisel (10404)
HOW TO USE:
- Prepare Your Workpiece: Securely fasten the metal workpiece in a vise or clamp to prevent movement during cutting. Ensure the area to be cut is clean and free of debris.
- Mark the Cut Line: Clearly mark the precise location and dimensions of the groove or slot you intend to cut on the metal surface using a scribe or marker.
- Position the Chisel: Place the 3/8" blade of the Mayhew cape chisel directly on your marked line, holding it firmly with one hand. Ensure the chisel is angled correctly for the desired cut.
- Strike the Chisel: Using a hammer (preferably a ball-peen hammer), strike the top of the chisel with controlled, deliberate blows. Start with lighter taps to establish the cut, then increase force as needed.
- Remove Material Gradually: Continue striking the chisel, moving it along the marked line to gradually remove metal. For deeper cuts, you may need to repeat the process, making multiple passes.
- Clean and Refine: Periodically clear away metal chips to see your progress. Once the cut is complete, use a file or deburring tool to smooth any rough edges or burrs.
