Prepare Workpiece: Secure the metal piece you intend to cut or shape on a stable surface using a vise or clamps to prevent movement during the process.
Position the Chisel: Place the cutting edge of the Mayhew cold chisel precisely on the mark or line where you wish to make the cut on the metal. Ensure the handguard is properly positioned to protect your hand.
Strike with a Hammer: Using an appropriate hammer (such as a ball-peen or club hammer), strike the head of the chisel with controlled force. The handguard will absorb shock and help prevent your hand from being hit.
Angle and Reposition: For longer cuts, you may need to reposition the chisel incrementally along the cutting line, making multiple strikes. Maintain a consistent angle for a clean cut.
Clear Debris: Periodically clear any metal shavings or debris to maintain a clear view of your work.
Inspect and Finish: Once the cut is complete, inspect the workpiece. You may need to file or grind the edges for a smoother finish.
