This king of benchtop mortisers is a rugged, high-quality machine with all the features found in the best mortisers, but with none of their faults. The super heavy-duty fence and hold down eliminate unwanted wood movement and "sticking chisels," (an all too common complaint with all mortisers), ensuring accurate and fast operation. The unique swiveling base allows easy off-the-bench operations and opens new possibilities for custom mortises. The precision 1/2" chuck eliminates the need to modify chisels and bits, and the extra height capacity allows the use of stock up to 7-3/8" thick. The all-steel, quick-adjust depth stop is easy to set and designed with a positive stop mechanism to ensure the highest level of repeatable accuracy for repeatable operations. With features like an adjustable length, solid-steel, quick-positioning handle, 8-piece tool holder, easy two-door chuck access, large base, and twin hardened-and-ground columns, you'll see why this is one of the most popular mortising machines on the market!
