I recently picked up a socket-style bevel chisel and was able to identify it as an A.E. Berg brand. It appears to be quite old but it cleaned up really nice and took a keen edge. I was wondering if any one has had experience with these and if they are a good chisel to try and collect more of; for using of course!
thanks

Shaper Origin Handheld CNC Router
The Origin has a touch screen that controls a small trim type router motor with a 1⁄4-in. collet. The machine’s handles are comfortable, with an orange button on the left handle for retracting the cutter and a green button on the right that starts the cut and is the “Enter” button for various commands. It’s intuitive, doesn’t require dedicated space, and can provide lots of shortcuts to complete projects quicker and with less stress.

w,
they're one of the best chisels from this century. Used by a lot of tradesmen as they take and hold a keen edge and don't fold over easily, but are tough enough not to chip.
enjoy and pick up a few more if you see them.

I scored on at an "estate" sale last summer. It was pretty trashed but cleaned up fine and has turned out to be one of my best chisels. They are superb!
Enjoy it and best of luck finding more!
