Diamond Point Chisel 1/8 In. x 5 In.
This Mayhew 10600 chisel cuts grooves in metal, fiber and similar materials. A black oxide finish protects the HAWA steel from corrosion during heavy use. The 5/16 in. hex shank fits most power tools for faster work. It is a new hand tool built for metalworking tasks.
Suited for groove cutting in metal and fiber
Mechanics and fabricators who need a durable chisel for precise groove work will find this tool effective. The corrosion resistant finish helps it last in demanding shop conditions. Buyers who need wider cutting edges or different point profiles should look at other chisel types. Those without power tools that accept a 5/16 in. hex cannot use the powered feature.
Simple power tool or hand installation
Insert the 5/16 in. hex shank into a compatible power tool chuck or hold the chisel by hand for manual strikes. Ensure the shank seats fully to prevent slipping during operation. The black oxide coating can wear down over time with abrasive materials. Users sometimes apply excessive side force, which can damage the narrow 1/8 in. tip.

Questions about this item
Do I need a specific hammer to drive the Mayhew 10600 chisel?
Any standard ball-peen or club hammer works; the 5/16 in. hex body transmits the blow cleanly without mushrooming.
Will the 1/8 in. diamond point mark the softer alloy panels I keep in the shop?
The hardened tip cuts grooves in metal and fiber, so it will score softer alloys — use light taps or a brass drift if surface finish matters.
How can I confirm the black oxide finish is still protecting the 10600 after the first few jobs?
The surface should stay uniformly dark with no bright rust spots; wipe it clean and look for an even, non-flaking coating.
