Firmer chisel – A heavy duty chisel designed to do the initial and rough work. Has a square edge or a
small bevel. Is firm to be hit with a mallet.
Paring chisel – Long blade with big handle that is comfortable. Designed for pushing not hammering.
A shallower degree of angle at around 20 degrees instead of 25.
Mortis Chisel – Designed to make mortis joins, the edges are square to allow sharp corners. The big
angle allows big, straight cuts.
Jack plane/fore plane – used first to take the large shavings and cut more material. Bench plane as it
is at a 45-degree angle. 300 – 500mm no.5 no.6
Jointer plane – its purpose is to straighten board edges so they can be joined together. A very long
plane usually 500-650mm long, no.7 no.8.
Smoothing plane – Makes the material smooth and is set at a 45-degree angle while taking paper
thin shavings. The paper-thin shaving makes the wood smooth. 150-250mm long no.1 – no.4
Block planes – Block planes have the bevel up. Angled at a 25-degree angle and the bevel at a 20-
degree angle creates the cutting at a 45. Good with end grain.
Low angle block plane – Cuts at a 37-degree angle and works the best with end grain timber.
