CFM chuck123wapati Posted November 18, 2019 CFM Report Posted November 18, 2019 a 1" wood chisel will work , or you can sharpen up a good quality putty knife such as this if you have a belt sander and with belts up to 1000 grit, then go to a arkansaw stone or 2500 grit sand paper, then polishing compound on a strop. I,ve even used my belt sander to skive once in a while.
