Overview
The DMT D8C is a single flat chisel measuring 8 inches long, 3 inches wide and 0.38 inches thick, weighing about 1 kilogram. Its wide, low profile suits shaping and scraping work rather than fine detail carving.
DMT is a brand more commonly associated with diamond sharpening tools, so buyers should confirm this listing matches the chisel they expect before ordering. No seller description or attribute list for material or edge angle is included, so those details are left to the product photos.
- 8 inch by 3 inch flat blade profile
- 0.38 inch thickness for rigidity
- About 1 kilogram (2.2 lb) in weight
- Ships as a single chisel
Who it's for
Suits woodworkers or metalworkers who want a wide, flat blade for broad scraping or shaping passes rather than narrow detail cuts. Not the right pick for anyone needing a boxed set of graduated chisel widths, since this listing covers a single piece.
Pros and cons
- Wide 3 inch blade covers more area per pass
- Rigid 0.38 inch thickness resists flex under pressure
- Sold as a single piece, not a full set
- No material, edge angle or handle details listed
Performance notes
At 8 inches long and 3 inches wide, this chisel covers more surface per stroke than narrower bench chisels, which favors flattening or scraping over detail joinery. The 0.38 inch thickness gives it some rigidity for pushing through material without excessive flex. Weighing close to a kilogram, it has enough heft to resist chatter during hand use.
