The correct answer is: diamond pointed chisel.

A diamond-pointed chisel is a specialized tool used for cutting keyways, which are narrow slots or grooves in a shaft or hub. The diamond-shaped point allows for precise cutting and helps to prevent the chisel from slipping out of the keyway.

Here's why the other options are incorrect:
- Flat chisel: Used for general-purpose cutting, removing material, and roughing out surfaces, but not suitable for cutting keyways.
- Cape chisel: A type of chisel with a curved or angled edge, used for removing material from curved surfaces or corners, but not ideal for cutting keyways.
- Round nose chisel: Used for cutting and shaping curved surfaces, but not suitable for cutting narrow keyways.

Diamond-pointed chisels are designed specifically for cutting keyways and are typically used in applications such as:
- Machinery repair
- Toolmaking
- Locksmithing
- Precision engineering

The correct chisel choice depends on the specific application and the material being cut.

Crosscut chisel also called cape chisel used for cutting keyways and similar flat grooves.

High speed iron.

Which material is used for chisel?

Please tell me the exact answer.

What if cross cut chisel and cape chisel are given?

Crosscut Chisels for CUTTING KEY WAYS AND GROVES.

How to use it? Please explain me.

Why a flat chisel is not used for cutting key ways?

Cape chisel that has a long taper on the top and bottom of the cutting end and a narrow edge and is used for cutting manual key ways and similar flat grooves. These are made by forging process.

For mass production broaches or end mills are used to form the key way.
