- Made in Japan - Razor sharp - 6mm wide blade - 37mm Blade length - 165mm total length - High-carbon steel blade - Round timber handle - Suitable for cutting mortices for braces - High quality & precise These Japanese made chisels are perfect for cutting the slots mortices for bracing into the linings of a guitar. Use a saw to cut the sides of the mortice then this chisel to cut the rest. The thin, super-sharp blade cuts effortlessly. The comfortable handle allows for greater control or the angle and pressure of the cut.
Once the position of the brace has been marked start by sawing the edges. Our Japanese Mini Super Saw is perfect for this.

Saw to the depth of the brace. Usually the saw is angled so that the cut does not go through the guitar's side too far.

Chisel away the mortice in small ‘layers’ around 1mm at a time, or whatever the wood will allow. Use the chisel to clear the sides of the mortice as you go, until a perfect rectangular hole is made.
