"Registered" refers to parallel sides. Registered chisels are pretty
much always mortice chisels, and the parallel sides keep the chisel
running true.



If there has ever been any other definition than the above, I am unaware of
it.

... then again, that, and three dollars, may get you a cup of coffee these
days.

$3.75 at starbucks. at least that's what a co-worker spent for carmel
maky adda grande something or other
