The wedge is considered one of the six simple machines. Wedges have been used since prehistoric times to split logs and rocks; for rocks, wooden wedges, caused to swell by wetting, have been used.

A chisel is a type of machine called a wedge. A wedge is a simple machine that consists of two inclined planes, giving it a thin end and a thick end. Force is applied to the thick end of the wedge, and the sloping sides of the wedge apply force to the object, cutting/splitting it apart. A wedge makes work easier by increasing the force applied to the object, although it applies the force over a shorter distance. Another example of a wedge is a hammer.
