Frequently asked questions
Common questions about AJAX from 3G Electric.
What shank size do AJAX flat chisels and riveting heads use?
All AJAX flat chisels and riveting heads supplied by 3G Electric feature a 0.401 in shank size with a round shank profile. This is a standard dimension for many industrial air hammers, including those from manufacturers like Ingersoll Rand and Chicago Pneumatic. The round shank ensures compatibility with standard chucks and collets used in pneumatic hammer tools.
What tip widths are available for AJAX flat chisels?
AJAX flat chisels from 3G Electric are available in tip widths of 5/8 in, 3/4 in, and 1 1/2 in. The overall lengths vary by model, ranging from 5 3/8 in to 11 in. These dimensions allow selection based on the specific cutting or chipping task, such as narrow access areas or larger surface removal.
Are AJAX riveting heads suitable for structural steel assembly?
Yes, AJAX riveting heads are designed for forming and setting rivets in structural assembly applications. The model with a 5/8 in tip width and 3 1/2 in overall length is intended for use with air hammers to drive rivets in steel frameworks, shipbuilding, and heavy equipment fabrication. The tooling is made from hardened steel to withstand repeated impact.
Can AJAX chisels be used on concrete or masonry?
AJAX flat chisels are primarily designed for metal cutting and chipping, but they can be used on concrete or masonry for light scaling or chipping tasks. The hardened steel construction provides adequate durability for such materials, though dedicated masonry chisels may offer better performance for heavy-duty concrete work. Always match the tool to the material hardness to avoid excessive wear.
How do I select the correct AJAX chisel length for my application?
Select the AJAX chisel length based on the depth of the work area and the reach required. Shorter lengths (5 3/8 in to 6 1/2 in) are suitable for tight spaces or controlled chipping, while longer lengths (11 in) provide extended reach for overhead or deep-access tasks. The tip width should match the desired cut width or material thickness.
