steel suited for chisels
Hi all, it's my first post on rec.woodworking!
My question is, what kind of steel works well for chisels? Is chrome-moly steel suitable? I read in the a past thread that chrome-moly wasn't suited for hand planes, are the attributes of hand planes and chisels similar enough that the same would be true for chisels? Thanks in advance, Mike DeCourcey |

Molybdenum is useful for Snip Ton's o Interesting Information 52100 - Ball bearing races. Forges well to give a good edge. Ok - Andy - you're now on my Must Read list of posters along with Charlie, Tom and a few others. Didn't expect to learn about steel today... |
