Nechamkin Chasing Tools Specialty Matting Tools 4 Piece Set

The inspiration for these patterns is seen in the finely made French matting tools made in Paris during the 19th century. This set was designed to cover a wide range of work, and to compliment matting tools K1 and K2, which are included in the Nechamkin 25-piece set (Otto Frei part No. 125.285). Matting tools K3 and K5 will accommodate small pattern work and tight areas while matting tools K4 and K6 work well for medium and large pattern work, as well as broad open areas within smaller designs. Nechamkin Chasing Tools are all 4.25" in length and feature square stock with soft chamfered corners and a satin finish for superior comfort and tool control. The Nechamkin Chasing Tools Matting Set set contains the following tools: K3-Face Shape-Small Rectangle -Texture - Honeycomb K4-Face Shape-Medium Rectangle -Texture - Raised Points K5-Face Shape-Small Oval- Texture - Raised Points K6-Face Shape-Medium Almond - Texture - Honeycomb Nechamkin Chasing Tools are formed from W1 tool steel with tips heat treated in a controlled environment to ensure consistent Rockwell hardness. The 4.25” (108mm) long shanks are square for precision and control superior to that of round. They have chamfered corners and a satin finish for comfort in hand. Each chasing tool is numbered for easy identification. All tool faces are precisely shaped and polished in a manner which allows them to travel smoothly across metalwork. For excellent sight down to the working face, tapers are long and balanced. The durable stainless steel container, an added value, is designed with room for augmentation of your tool set and has a non-marking Delrin™ lid and bottom. Care Tip: Regular use will keep light rust at bay. When not in use always keep these tools clean, dry and stored in a container protected from moisture. For long term storage or storage in damp environments apply a light coat of oil to the entire tool to protect against rust. Caution: Always wear eye protection when using these tools.
