Recommendation for Small Chisels?

[MarkF786]

Hi,

Can anyone recommend good small chisels (1/8" or smaller)? The primary use would be for cleaning nut slots (the slot where the nut sits, not the slots where the strings sit).

I see StewMac has a set of four chisels for $43, but I could probably find something equivalent or better for less.

Kind regards,

Mark

Search the net for "Micro Chisels" and don't buy cheap if you want Pro results.

I've yet to find a set of micro chisels that weren't toys and a complete waste of money. I have my eye on this thread.

If you look on ebay you can find old cast steel chisels in an 1/8th.


New: then anyone from Veritas/Blue Spruce/Ashley Isles/lie Nielsen.



If you want smaller chisels then Lee Valley and Blue Spruce mini chisels come to mind. But they're not that cheap.
