[Kondo] Hex-Point Carbide-Tipped Chipping Chisel (Brass-Wrapped) Body:30mm (1.18") Carbide Tip:10x12mm (0.39x0.47") [KMF100101]

This handcrafted [Kondo] chipping chisel features a rugged hexagonal carbide tip attached to a comfortable round steel body. As a core model of the heavy-weight tier, its substantial body provides strong crushing capability, making it well-suited for high-velocity rough-chipping to remove prominent stone irregularities in Dry Stone Walling (DSW), flatten the base of heavy stones in Japanese Gardens, and drive efficient material removal in architectural masonry.

The thick brass layer ensures effective vibration damping, protecting your joints during extended masonry work. ⚠️ WARNING: This type is intended strictly for experienced stonecutters. To prevent premature failure, you must lift the chisel slightly between each strike. Continuous dragging along the stone face or exposure to lateral impacts will cause the thick brass joint to fracture.

Please adjust an angle in Aoto of the GC whetstone 120H according to the stone to be used before beginning to use. When using it for soft stones, such as the Shirakawa stone and an Oya stone , it is about 60 degrees. In the case of granite, it is common to adjust to an obtuse angle rather than 55 degrees.

If you are a professional, the optimal SETTO for Angle picking Chisel of this size (Diameter=30mm Carbide bits=10mm*12mm / Brass brazing) is a 1.0 to 1.3 kg thing. However, when there is little experience, please use SETTO lighter than this.
