Chisel#Cold chisel
The Moil point chisel is a tool steel with specially hardened tip. This tool is used for both hard and for soft rock. The chisels for soft rock has a Knüpfel and the hard rock a Fäustelkopf. It is used in stone working primarily for the processing of the bosses ( masons talk about the bosses ) and the leveling of the surface to be machined. It can also be used for surface design of visible surfaces. There are different processing levels, from coarse to fine emboss tips.
With forged chisels the material being processed determines the hardness of the tip. This can be set in the forging of the tarnish. There are also pointed iron with carbide inserts. Chisels are usually made of octagonal or round steel bars with thicknesses 10 to 22 mm and lengths from 160 to 280 mm. They are usually driven with the mallet or Knüpfel in hard rocks but mainly with pneumatic hammers.
The used by masons " Dogtooth " is a special chisels with two peaks, which serves extremely soft soft rock work off because the Moil would get stuck with a peak in the otherwise soft stone.
A special form of the pointed iron is called Bossiereisen. It is a somewhat more powerful Spitz iron that is hosed for large stone supernatants earlier, mainly used in quarries.
