Question 211General Subjects - QMED

The correct answer is B) cape chisel. The cape chisel is the best type of chisel to use for cutting a keyway. The cape chisel has a narrow, tapered blade that is well-suited for cutting keyways, which are narrow, elongated slots. The shape of the cape chisel allows it to easily fit into the confined space of the keyway and make clean, precise cuts. The other answer choices are not as well-suited for this task. A round nose chisel would not be able to make the straight, rectangular cuts needed for a keyway. A flat cold chisel would be too wide and could damage the surrounding material. A diamond point chisel is designed for different types of work and would not be the optimal choice for cutting a keyway.
