square filed
I spent exactly 20 minutes taking the new Carlton round chisel to square filed. The wood was poplar about 2 months cut. 10 inches by approx 12 inch oval 37 inches Circumference. Timed with stop watch.
Round ground 3.48- 3.68 sec.
Square filed 3.00- 3.2
There was still traces of the original roound grind present.If taken back to the rear rivet and filed to sharper angles the time would be about 2.75 seconds.
To shed another .50 seconds takes a lot more work.
