I have a metric set of narex chisels, and metric never bothered me until i got to chopping “1/4″” mortises inside 1/4″ grooves for the tool cabinet. Its undersized enough to be a pain in the neck. I get alot of chipping in the cutting edge when doing chopping, and i need to sharpen up after about two mortises. I don’t have any other chisels to compare that to, these are my first chisels. I can tell you that these rust in a bad way. I was away from home for almost a year, during which a slow water leak in my basement workshop led to high humidity and surface rust on everything, and swelling wood and mold… a nightmare. But these chisels, in their closed box, rusted worse than anything in the shop. Deep rust too. I managed to save them, but took some heavy grinding and hours of reflattening.

I found that on the minimum setting, both sawsets gave me to much set, and i had to use the hammer in the vice method Paul showed to get it out. On the last one i did i didn’t give it a full squeeze, just enough to see the tooth move (i have good vision) and it wasn’t to bad, still gave it a light tap with a hammer all the way down. One of these saws i filed the teeth completely off and made a 12 tpi saw into a 14 tpi.
