Fig. 477. Fig. 479. as in Fig. 478, first cut the end, because of possible chipping atthe corner, and in cutting the end you can work from each cornertowards the centre. In paring a bevel across the grain, push thechisel as shown in Fig. 479, as it is the easiest and cleanest wayto cut, and prevents splintering. A simple bevel (Figs. 477 and 478) is usually best made withthe plane, whenever there is room to use it. Plane bevels in endwood from both edges and you can often slant the plane to goodadvantage like the chisel in Fig. 479. See also Chamfeiing. Bit-Brace or Bit-Stock.—This tool requires no ratchet brace is useful for boring in awkward places where itis difficult to use a common bit-stock. There is also a con-trivance for extending the bit-brace to bore in places which can-not be reached by the common brace alone, but this you will 35^ Wood-Working for Beginners seldom require. An angular bit-stock, with a universal angle adjustment, is useful. By this the bi
