I need to cut a 9" mortise and my store-bought Stanley "fat max" chisel has a large, fat handle that gets in the way. If I look on ebay, there are several "framing" and "mortising" chisels out there, but will these allow me to cut 9 inches straight down? For example:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=13871&item=6144756393&rd=1 Will this do the job? It appears the handle will not get in the way and let me cut along the same plane for as far as I can go.
I'm probably going to pick up a corner chisel as well. Do you have any other recommendations?
