Pneumatic Chisels for Stone Carving and Pneumatic Hammers

Sort by:

Maximise the precision of your hammer with our professional range of pneumatic chisels for stone. We have steel and Widia (tungsten carbide) insert tools for working with granite, marble and sandstone.

Find points, chisels, gouges and bush hammers compatible with the main connections on the market (12.7 mm, 10.2 mm, and more). Guaranteed quality for roughing and fine finishing in sculpture and stonework.

What are pneumatic chisels?

Pneumatic chisels — also called air chisels — are driven by a pneumatic hammer and compressed air, rather than struck by hand with a mallet. This lets you remove stone faster and with less physical effort than hand chisels, while keeping the same level of control over shaping and detail work.

Choosing the right pneumatic chisel

The right chisel depends on two things: the stage of your work and the stone you're carving.

For roughing out and heavy material removal, choose a wider or flatter cutting edge in steel. For refining forms, adding texture or fine detail, points, gouges and bush hammers give you more precision.

Material matters too: steel chisels suit softer stones such as marble and sandstone, while Widia (tungsten carbide) inserts hold their edge far longer on hard, abrasive stone like granite.

Whichever you choose, check it matches your pneumatic hammer's connection size (12.7 mm, 10.2 mm and other standard fittings) before buying.

Frequently asked questions about pneumatic chisels

What is the difference between pneumatic chisels and air chisels?

The terms are used interchangeably. Both refer to chisels powered by compressed air through a pneumatic hammer.

What's the difference between pneumatic chisels and hand chisels?

Hand chisels are struck manually with a mallet and give the carver direct control at slower speed. Pneumatic chisels are driven by a pneumatic hammer and compressed air, removing material faster with less physical effort — ideal for roughing out larger areas before switching to hand tools for fine detail. See our hand chisels range for manual work.

Do I need to match the chisel to my pneumatic hammer's connection size?

Yes. Pneumatic chisels only fit hammers with a compatible connection. Our range covers the most common sizes (12.7 mm, 10.2 mm and others) — check your hammer's specification before ordering to avoid returns.
