ye boys probably know anyway but for the not so expierianced,cutting through sheet metal the easy way ,use wood chisel and hammer ,gets u right in tight spots where grinder wont go,sharpen on grinder ,its quicker ,quieter and no sparks ,use as u wood a nibbler type thingy,bye then,steve

[Kevin]

Sounds good to me Steve, and another way for me to damage my wood chisels in a good cause

Metal chisels are better though and don't need re-sharpening anywhere near as much as a wood chisel.

Wood chisels are excellent at removing old gaskets though.

Normally use a metal chisel, surprising how easily they cut through the metal!!

That sounds like good working practice to me! Perhaps a fire extinguisher might have been more effective though?

You can also get all steel wood chisels as well. They are longer and wider (30 - 40mm) and about £12 - £15 if this helps.

wood chissel is an essential part of a tool kit:-

scrapes gaskets off

removed under seal and glue

cuts sheet metal..

small prie bar...


should be part of every mm tool kit!

[Cam]

small prie bar...

Bit too brittle (hard) for that. Not nice when they snap!

Use an air- chisel . The right tool for the job , and much quicker + safer . Don't forget the ear plugs !! Arfron

hand held chisel is quieter ,cheaper to run, can turn corners when cutting, and if u need to cut a flap in something and then fold back into place it dosent remove any metal like the 2 or 3mm strip that u get with air chisel, i cut off the rear wing all the way along an inch from body ,done in 10 mins although here an air chisel would have been better,steve
