CHISEL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 230,223, dated July 20, 1880.

Application filed April 9, 1880. (No model.)

scribed, for as the chisel descends in forming a mortise the chips are forced up the grooves b b, and thus out of the mortise, so that the work can go on continuously without the necessity of removing the chisel in order to take out the chips, thereby saving much of the time and labor that are now expended in making mortises with the ordinary single-edged chisel.

In the chisel herein shown and described the cutting-edge of the transverse diaphragm (l is of service in reducing the size of the chips made, so that they may more readily pass up the grooves b b, and the said diaphragm, in combination with the cutting-edges a a, forms, in eftect, five cutting-edges, as shown.

This grooved and double-edged chisel may have its edges formed, as indicated in dotted lines, Fi 1, at g, with the bevels of the out- To all whom it may concern I Be it known that 1, JOHN D. BAXTER, of Meehanicsville, in the county of Saratoga and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Chisel, of which the following is a specification.

The object of thisinventioii is to provide a mortising-chisel, that when operating to form a mortise shall clear the same of chips.

The invention consists of a double-edged chisel provided on each side with a groove, which extends from between the pointsupward to the shank of the chisel, said grooves widening as they extend upward.
