Irwin M444114N Marples Bevel Edge Wood Chisel 1-1/4 in

Product Description

The IRWIN M444114N is a bevel edge wood chisel from the Marples line, designed for precise paring, chopping, and joint work in wood. The chisel features a polypropylene handle that resists cracking under mallet strikes and provides a secure grip during hand-driven work. At 1-1/4 inches wide, it suits a wide range of mortise, tenon, and general woodworking tasks. This tool is used by carpenters, cabinetmakers, and finish carpenters working on both new construction and renovation projects. Its bevel edge profile allows the blade to reach into tight corners and dovetail joints where a standard chisel would not fit cleanly.

This chisel is suited for residential and light commercial woodworking applications, including door and window casing work, furniture making, and cabinet installation. The 1-1/4-inch blade width is a common size for fitting hinges, cleaning out mortises, and trimming joints flush. Finish carpenters and millwork installers will find this size practical for day-to-day door hardware and trim work. It is packaged and sold as a single unit.

Installation Notes

Wood chisels are typically used by carpenters and finish carpenters and require no power tools for hand-driven work. When used with a mallet, select a mallet appropriate for polypropylene-handled chisels to avoid handle damage. Keep the blade sharp using appropriate sharpening stones or honing guides to maintain clean, controlled cuts. Store the chisel with a blade guard in place to protect the cutting edge and prevent injury.
