Thread: What Chisel is This?

Yup. one very good quality cold chisel.

have used similar to pinhole shafts on sawmill, so pulleys fit tighter.

” pinhole “ is not the correct terminology , Will think of the right words tonight about 1:03

I'll PM you his phone number.

If I recall from my paper mill shutdown maintenance crewing days (too) many years ago now, it is a 'cape' chisel and I saw the old fitters cleaning keyways on shafts and gears/cogs/pulley's with them.

Very much like a plugging chisel to remove old morter from bricks. How it is meant to work;

Why a plugging chisel? - YouTube

I have one of them I found in old tool chest that belonged to great uncle who was a Turner with Qld Rail Ipswich , would have to be at least 100years old I would think , I use it to remove mortar in brick work.

Yep, used for getting the mortar from between bricks to get the first brick out of a wall.
Haven't used mine for ages.
Some of his friends have also not been out much lately.
Cheers

Yep, I was going to say for removing mortar from bricks, I'm pretty sure I have one left behind when our chimneys were rebuilt.

Regards,
Tote
