Tools and Hardware Reviews of Irwin Marples M444/2 Blue Chip 2-Inch Bevel Edge Woodworking ChiselCustomer Review: Marples 2" wood chisel. Summary: 5 Stars
I recently got into bowl turning on a lathe. I use a combination of regular lathe chisels and old fashioned wood chisels to hollow out the inside of the bowl. I had the Marples chisels, so those are the ones I used. The Marples chisels are sharp, strong and work so much faster than the regular lathe chisels. I bought a 2" chisel so I could work faster even than with the 1" chisel I had. As a bonus, the 2" chisel is substantially longer than the 1", so easier to use and more effective.
Another plus, the 2" Marples chisel is $15.95, a 1" straight edge lathe chisel by a good manufacturer is $70. The Marples chisel is faster and cuts better. The only draw back, and it is slight, is the length of the chisel. The startard lathe chisel is nearly 2' long, the Marples chisel about 1', so the lathe chisel is better for deep bowls. Considering the price and performance, the Marples is outstanding.
I also use the Marples chisel as a regular chisel and am quite happy with the performance.
