Always wear safety glasses and a dust mask. Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped and that you are using the tool in a well-ventilated area.

The Draper Mortice Chisel and Bit can be used on a wide variety of hardwoods and softwoods. The choice of wood depends on your specific project needs.

Lubricate the bit and chisel after each use or as needed to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation. Use a light machine oil or wax.

No, the Draper Mortice Chisel and Bit is designed for use with a mortice machine or other power tools designed for mortising. Using a handheld drill is not recommended.

Hardening increases the steel's hardness, while tempering reduces brittleness, making the tool both strong and durable.

Replacement parts may be available from the manufacturer or through authorized retailers. Check the Draper website for more information.

Check the sharpness of the cutting edges and sharpen if needed. Ensure the bit is properly installed and that the mortice machine is operating at the correct speed.
