Abstract: Having a beveled prying edge and a notch for frictional interfitting with a chisel shaft, the removable chisel blade of this invention provides a significant improvement to the process of removing mortar leakage, grout, or spalling from the surfaces of concrete walls. The heat-treated, hardened steel blades have a sharp edge to pry the grout drippage from the surfaces without driving the grout into the surface and without biting into the surface itself. A notch is cut in the body of the blade so that the blade will slide into a throat on a chisel shaft and will frictionally interfit through wedging action with the chisel shaft. Beveled side portions of the tapered notch sides provide improved frictional interfitting. Also, beveled inset grooves on the body of the chiseled blade provide improved frictional interfitting and reduce the tendency of the chisel blade to wiggle in the plane of the blade.

Abstract: A cutting tool (20) is disclosed which includes an integrally secured arcuate cutting blade portion (32). The arcuate blade portion is defined from a loci of a perfect circle and includes an axially elongated arcuate blade portion (38) and an axially recessed arcuate blade portion (40). The axial length of the recessed portion is equal to that of an adjacent planar blade portion (42). This configuration permits the elongated arcuate blade portion to be retained within a first distinct cut of the material to be worked on or bone being cut while the entire tool is rotated to a distinct second position along the upper surface of the material in order to perform a distinct second cut. These two distinct cuts serve to form a removable section (58) of the material being worked upon or bone cut, and in this manner adjacent sections of the material can be repositioned relative to one another once the second cut is performed and the section is removed.
