Buyer's Guide To Woodworking Chisels (5/13) | Wood And Shop Buy 4+ Bench Woodworking Chisels The first woodworking chisels that I recommend that you purchase are bench chisels. Bench chisels are the most common type of woodworking chisels because you use them for so many woodworking tasks. They’re called bench chisels because they’re usually on your workbench, just like “bench planes”. Bench chisels can either have beveled edges or normal, flat edges. You can either buy a wood chisel set with five to ten bevel-edge bench chisels, or acquire different antique bench chisels in the common sizes. I have purchased many antique woodworking chisels, and the quality of steel is almost always superior to what comes in modern woodworking chisels. Unless you can afford a high-end set of new chisels from some of these new tool makers (Lie-Nielsen chisels, Veritas chisels, Blue Spruce chisels, Narex Richter chisels, etc.), I’d recommend that you try and piece together some antique bench chisels, in useful sizes for furniture making.
