Electric chisel
Electric chisel from China aids in faster and more fun woodcarving and gives you the same effect and/or result that a quality palm sharpened chisel can give. You still have to maintain a mirrored finished edge as you would with a hand chisel. Very happy with this chisel machine and would recommend it - having fun.

Okay, so this is the electric chisel. I got this one from my birthday and I had no way to power it.
I tried different things like putting a drill bit in here and soldered it in place and attached my Dremel to try to power it, but it was too sloppy.
It was terrible. Disasters.
So I decided to go ahead and buy the whole unit.
came with the drive, the line and another chisel. That's fine with me. I got a few chisels
that I can put one in, I can gouge in one and a parting tool in the other. So I like
that. That's okay. For sharpening, I made, because they're so small, I made this little
handle just for working on sharpening my tools. Because they are tiny. I wouldn't mind seeing
them like an inch longer. I think that might be better. I'm concerned about
going in and coming out of the work. Well I haven't tried this yet so we'll
see how it goes. But there are four sealed bearings in it. There's one here,
one here, one here, and one here. This pin stops it from spinning at the front end
and it goes into this hole here. There's a spring right here which gives you the
action back and forth, push it away and here's the two pieces that will hammer
together like a kind of like a hammer drill kind of thing. Anyway before and
after this is the newer chisel bit unsharpened or refined and of course
the one I sharpened. I'm trying to get it as close to a mirror finish as I can get.
Hopefully it works. So anyway, I'm going to put that guy in and try it on this rose. I
don't know how it's going to work on the rose. We shall see.
Okay, so I got it back together. Now, I'll show you how she plugs in. I'll power this
guy up. This will run at 110 or 120 but the motor reads 220 so I have the
opportunity to run it at 220 so I'm going to do so. It should probably be easier on the motor
anyway. So I'm going to fire it up. Now it's a variable speed. I like that. Very easy to plug it in.
Come on
Make a liar out of me
There we go
Okay, that's without a chisel in it. It wants to rotate you gotta hang on to it
That's how she works now. I'll put a chisel in it
It bumped again
No, we're good
Okay
See what she does
I didn't start this with this rollers with this.
I've been a craft show so I just start whittling away.
I just want to see what this does.
This is where I'm liking this.
This is about half speed.
Okay I'm going to switch to the gouge.
Like I say I've never used this.
Ooh.
I like it yeah I'm gonna have fun with this okay well just make sure your chisels are super sharp
like a mirror finish but no I'm impressed I like it this is fun all right thanks for watching guys
Cheers!
Alright, before I go, I forgot I wanted to try it on this guy.
That's at full speed.
It's not super super fast or anything.
I'm pushing a little bit.
It doesn't do it all.
You gotta push.
But, I like the...
