    Hi guys, just wondering what people are using to sharpen their hollow mortise chisels and where did they buy them.. i see Veritas has some but are there others that are worth a look.
    TIA.

    Default sharpening mortise chisels

    I have tried the correct sharpening tools from Ridgeway etc but found they were liable to chatter. So I now just use a cone shaped stone in the Dremel.
    I have been known to file the corners with a needle file and stone the outside flats.
    I have a collection of old Pom stuff, Robertson etc.
    I did do a test a while back on the ones Carba-Tec was selling about 10 years ago and they held up on Teak very well.
    Seem to remember a Taiwanese "Star" brand or similar being ok also.
    H.
