Working Advice
For the highest possible impact damping, work only with moderate contact pressure.
Grind chiselling tools against sanding discs, e.g. aluminium oxide, under a steady stream of water. Take care that no annealing colouration appears on the cutting edges; this impairs the hardness of the chiselling tools.

To forge a chisel, heat it to 850–1050 °C (pale red to yellow).
To harden a chisel, heat it to approx. 900 °C and quench in oil. Then, leave it in an oven for approx. one hour at 320 °C (annealing colour: pale blue).
