Default Why do chisels have to be sharp?


wrote in message
ups.com...
for my at-hand chisels, I keep a 600 grit diamond stone close and
touch the edge up before it gets dull. for some specialty chisels I'll
go to a finer stone, but they cut pretty well at 600 grit.




Does anyone know(or where to find) the equivalent grits between oil, water &
ceramic stones, diamonds and sandpaper? Rod
