I use an old 7/8" wide Winsted paring chisel about a foot long. It's an individual thing. Some like a short chisel. You really need to try different tools until you find something that feels right to you. I notched my first bridge with my new power notcher a few weeks ago, and that felt VERY right. I'm spoiled for life now. Ron N
