High quality chisels/bits

Available in 4 bits: 1/4", 3/8", 5/16" and 1/2". I used the first three when creating a set of dining room chairs. They worked fine. Points on chisels need to be careful not to fall off. I suggest sharpening before any project.

Pros
  • Heavy duty construction
Cons
  • High price

Powermatic Drills

I've only tested the 1/2" drill Be warned these things are very sharp I'm smart enough to keep my hands off tools and sharp edges but the damage occurred when I was trying to get the bit out of the factory box.

Pros
  • So far happy
Cons
  • Could have gone for a newer model

very high quality - you can pierce your thumbnail with a chisel!

Don't ask me how I know โ€“ there probably is a first time for everything and it's the first time in my life that I've put a hole in my nail. Just make sure the drill and chisel are set solid, I mean REALLY solid. Also wear sturdy gloves.

Pros
  • Quality workmanship
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Buy once, cry once, then enjoy for years how well they work.

Over the years we have tried many different chisels. Most of them required significant polishing to achieve acceptable results. These chisels have been polished in the same way as bits, which saved us a lot of work. Plus, they deliver superior results compared to anything we've used before. What is very nice, all bits have a long shank, which allows you to switch between different sizes very quickly and easily.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Not everything fits

Great plug-in kits!

Extremely sharp window output. The drill and chisel work well to install as directed. I've easily made hundreds of cut slots in solid maple with the 1/2 set. I wouldn't recommend doing large projects with small hand chisels in hardwood to any real depth with a 1/2 inch set. Too much to be removed with a hand lever. However, with a good mortiser these make great chisel sets/bit don't waste your money on cheaper sets.

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • Something else

Quality chisels, I had no problems making grooves on wenge!

These are very good quality chisels. I used them with my Powermatic 719T slotter to make wenge grooves. In the past I've done this with a router and chisel. Wenge is a fairly hard wood (and brittle). I was a bit skeptical about how well they would work based on my previous experience with a router and chisel. However, it is very easy to make grooves with these chisels. No smoke, nothing. I could easily make grooves on wenge.

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • Damaged

Powermatic quality on wood chisels

I bought these with a PM701 slotter. You get what you pay for and they are no exception. The chisel is well ground and the edges touching the sides of the groove are smooth and straight. Drill edges are sharp with minimal burr (one side of the 5/16" drill had a slight burr, but it only took a diamond hone to remove it). The drill is also sharp and fits the drill well. I can't detect any interference or binding. Overall this is another quality product from Powermatic. Even if you're looking forโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • Can't remember

Buy once / cry once. Worth the extra coins

My Shopfox slotter came with a 1/2" chisel and drill that smoked like crazy in the oak and ash I cut. , but was dirty and constantly overheated. No matter how sharp it was or how slow I drilled, no matter how far I adjusted the drill bit, it always smoked and heated up in any hard wood. It smoked in pine but not like that. I bought this set knowing iSh was wrong and OH MAN PLEASE TELL YOU WHAT! :) Sharp as soon as possible, ready to use and polished to perfection. Soooo much smoother runningโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Not sure

As I own a 701 Powermatic bench machine I decided to match the groove with bits of the same "high end" brand. Disappointment. The shank of the pick is 0.006-0.007 smaller than the socket on the machine. The socket is a fairly accurate 3/4 hole. The chisel wobbles very noticeably in the socket. Machine. And yes, I use a spacer to prevent the drill bit from touching the bit. unbearable even though it felt wrong. The next step would be a new homemade perfect socket for bad "high end" bits andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
