Solid Carbide Chisels: Power Shaping

In this second video on making solid tungsten carbide chisels in your own shop, I show how to perform some of the shaping on ordinary power tools. With the right wheels and jigs, carbide can be cut just as quickly as steel. These are tools that will stay sharp up to 100 times longer than ordinary steel chisels. You don’t need a lot of specialized equipment, and the diamond stones and blades you will need have become extremely affordable.
