Want to see something Kool? Hollow chisel its hip to be square
All these years looking for a necklace chain in 3/16 because its the smallest mortis .
Nope wrong again Jack
I got a good collection of hollow chisel for the Stenner(tag camo) in both english pattern and japanese. there both good though i do like the english pattern for the larger spikes.
the one by my thumb is 1/4" and the 5th is a 7/16 T white. I use the chisel for small work.
how the japs can even make this this is the smallest chisel you can get(3mm less than 1/8") and that's it beside the 1/4"
just so you get a sense of how small it is that's an 18 gauge brad nail.
can't get them in NA have to get them straight from japan. Please don't ask what i paid as it was a lot.All tools can be used as hammers

Jack, I came by some mortise gear months ago, a heap of chains some bars, no sprockets.
Got in touch with wilikson woodworking equipment in the UK and purchased their remaining stock of .62" pitch sprockets.
I have some .54" chain but without a bar and sprocket all they are good for is steam punk jewelry or hang up on the wall.
I think Bobby at woodworkers tool works has sprockets but at $95 US each plus postage I'm not jumping out of my skin to grab a few.
I don't know where to get .54" pitch sprockets from, any leads ??
Great post by the way, I'm very happy that you are here on the Aussie forum
Thank you jack for putting up your knowledge !!!
Melbourne Matty.

I've only got one .54 sprocket with two bars and two chains . Believe it was Reynolds . I ended up buying the whole thing bar sprocket and chain for 95 greater British pounds . Not a fantastic deal but it did then make another set that I didn't have the sprocket work . There was a stretch where loads of Reynolds and Robinson stock came up but they weren't given it away but they weren't charging what Bobby was . And to be quite honest I'm a little sceptical of American manufacturing . perhaps that's an unfounded bias . I'll keep my eyes out and I remember that hall of chains you got.

That's a very cool thing Jack, i thought the quarter inch hollow chisel was delicate enough, especially in my hands. I don't quite understand the .54 pitch chain, that seems a very curious number to choose to me, it doesn't match up with metric nicely and i make it 27/50 as a fraction, where did that chain size come from? If sourcing sprockets is a problem would getting them made not be viable? Sprockets are a fairly simple thing to machine.
