There is no protrusion or gap whatsoever. I did get a little bit of traction with a sharp chisel but because of the width of the chisel only the edges would grip and then slip when hit with a hammer. I was thinking of going out and getting a very narrow (1/4”) chisel. I do like the idea of the two notches in the soft aluminum carrier. Thank you.
