Wood Chisels: Choose Blade Width and Sets | Saniso
A wood chisel (carpenter’s chisel) cuts and shapes wood by hand: you push or tap the blade to pare edges, clean recesses, or form joints in carpentry and woodworking.
At Saniso the STALCO line under STALCO wood chisels covers fourteen articles: singles from 6 mm to 38 mm, plus two 4-piece sets in the 6–25 mm range. Saniso B.V. in Zwaag sells the STALCO brand as a wholesaler and webshop.

What is a wood chisel (carpenter’s chisel)?
It is a hand tool with a cutting blade and a handle, made for wood — not for stone, concrete or demolition. On Saniso these fourteen SKUs sit under Wood chisels (same assortment as Carpenter chisels). Choice here is mainly blade width, and set versus single — not flat chisels, HEX chisels or SDS chisels.
Why use a wood chisel for carpentry and woodworking?
You use a wood chisel for carpentry and woodworking when you need a controlled cut by hand: shaping wood, cleaning a recess, or refining a joint that a saw or machine left rough. STALCO product pages for the longer-text models (for example S-40006 and set S-40104) name woodworking uses such as carpentry, furniture making, construction, modelling and carving — for professional and amateur users. Narrower blades suit detail; wider blades move more wood per stroke. Singles in this guide run from 6 mm to 38 mm; the two sets cover 6–25 mm in four pieces each.
Who typically uses these chisels?
Carpenters, furniture makers, woodworkers and DIY users who shape or finish wood by hand — matching how the STALCO pages describe professional and amateur use. This guide stays on wood chisels only.
Blade width: 6 mm to 38 mm
Match blade width to the cut or recess you need. The millimetre figure in the title is the cutting width.
- Narrow (6–10 mm): fine cleanup, marking lines or small recesses — two 6 mm singles exist: S013000006, 6 mm and S-40006, 6 mm (different article codes and prices), then S013000008 (8 mm) and S013000010 (10 mm).
- Everyday mid (12–20 mm): typical joint and recess work — from S013000012, 12 mm through 16, 18 and 20 mm.
- Wider faces (22–38 mm): broader faces and larger recesses — S013000025, 25 mm, 32 mm, and the widest single S013000038, 38 mm.
Widths 32 mm and 38 mm are singles only; they are not inside the two 6–25 mm sets.
Sets versus single chisels
| Form | What you get | Article codes | Snapshot incl. |
|---|---|---|---|
| Set, 4 pcs, 6–25 mm | Four chisels; S-40104 lists 6 / 12 / 18 / 25 mm in a blister pack | S-40104 | €33.69 |
| Set, 4 pcs, 6–25 mm | Four chisels in the 6–25 mm range (exact mm list per piece not stated as 6/12/18/25 on that page) | S013000625 | €29.45 |
| Single | One chosen width from 6–38 mm | S-40006, S013000006 … S013000038 | from €6.21 |
Choose a set when you want starter coverage across several widths without picking every size first. Choose a single when you already know the millimetre you need, or when you need a width outside the sets (8, 10, 16, 20, 22, 32 or 38 mm, or a second 6 mm line).
Which width fits which job
| Job angle | Start with |
|---|---|
| Detail / narrow cleanup | 6–10 mm singles (S013000006 or S-40006, then 8 / 10 mm) |
| Everyday joints and mid recesses | 12–20 mm (e.g. 12 mm, 16 mm, 18 mm, 20 mm) |
| Wider faces / larger recesses | 22–38 mm (e.g. 25 mm, 32 mm, 38 mm) |
| Starter kit without guessing every size | Set S-40104 or set S013000625 (both 4 pcs, 6–25 mm) |
In practice, pick the blade that matches the width of the cut. Hinge and joint recesses often land in the mid-to-wider band; that is workshop practice, not a Saniso size chart.

Frequently asked questions
How do you choose wood chisel blade width for a job?
Match the blade to the width of the cut or recess you need to make or clean. Measure that width, then pick the closest millimetre in the assortment — singles from 6 mm to 38 mm, or a 6–25 mm set if you want several sizes at once.
When do you need a narrow chisel versus a wide one?
A narrow chisel (about 6–10 mm) suits detail and small recesses. A mid width (about 12–20 mm) covers everyday carpentry joints. A wide blade (about 22–38 mm) removes more material on broader faces. The widest single here is 38 mm (S013000038).
Do you need a wood chisel set or one single size?
A set helps when you want four widths in the 6–25 mm band without choosing every millimetre first — S-40104 (6/12/18/25 mm, blister) or S013000625 (4 pcs, 6–25 mm). A single is enough when one known width covers the job, or when you need 8, 10, 16, 20, 22, 32 or 38 mm.
What is the difference between a wood chisel and a stone or SDS chisel?
A wood chisel (this guide) is for wood. Stone chisels, cold chisels, HEX and SDS chisels are for masonry, concrete or demolition and are not in these fourteen articles. Keep wood and stone tools in separate categories when you order.
Which sizes cover everyday carpentry and woodworking?
For day-to-day work, many users start with mid widths such as 12 mm and 25 mm, or a 6–25 mm four-piece set. Add 6 mm for detail and 32 / 38 mm when you need a wider face — both ends of the ladder are available as singles on Saniso.
