CHISEL (from the O. Fr. cisel, modern ciseau, Late Lat. cisellum, a cutting tool, from caedere, to cut) , a
sharp
 -edged tool for cutting metal,
wood
  or stone. There are numerous varieties of
chisels
  used in different trades; the carpenter's chisel is wooden-handled with a straight edge, transverse to the
axis
  and bevelled on one side; stone masons'
chisels
  are bevelled on both sides. and others have oblique, concave or convex edges. A chisel with a semicircular blade is called a " gouge." The tool is worked either by hand-pressure or by blows from a
hammer
  or mallet. The " cold chisel " has a steel edge, highly tempered to cut
unheated metal. (See Tool..)
