Members St8LineGunsmith Posted May 25, 2014 Members Report Posted May 25, 2014 They have their place for some projects. Looking at a lefty's perspective... you have to use the chisel on the right side of the stitch to get a good stagger on the stitches I will use the chisels on thin projects best you can do with thick projects is to use as a pricking chisel then finish the hole with a stitching awl. most of my projects I will gouge a stitching channel then use the overstitch wheel in the channel then stab the holes in with a good sharp awl.

Members RavenAus Posted May 25, 2014 Members Report Posted May 25, 2014 The 2.5mm chisel is 5SPI, according to my local shop. Checked em against the 5 overstitch wheel and it's as close as you'll get when they are on different measuring systems Quote Kind regards, Raven http://wolfscrafts.com/
