be fabricated from a 7/8-inch or 1-inch cold chisel. The

chisel is ground to the shape indicated with a suitable

grinding tool. The point should be ground with one flat

side to rest against the base metal and the cutting edge

ground to an angle of 50 to 55 The point may be

narrowed down to approximately 5/8-inch.
