Frequently Asked Questions
What type of woodworking is this bench morticer best suited to?
It is well suited to producing accurate, repeatable mortices for joinery work such as frames, furniture components and other workshop projects that use mortise-and-tenon joints.
Is a bench morticer easier to use than drilling mortices by hand?
For repeated morticing work, a dedicated bench morticer can provide better consistency and control than creating mortices with a standard drill and hand tools, particularly when several matching joints are required.
How should the workpiece be set up before cutting?
Secure the timber firmly using the workpiece holder and adjust the fence so the mortice is correctly positioned.
Set the depth stop before cutting to help achieve consistent mortice depth.
Which chisel size should I use?
Choose the chisel size to suit the width of the mortice required for the joint.
The supplied 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" chisels provide useful options for a range of general woodworking projects.
Does the morticer need to be fixed to a bench?
For safe and accurate operation, the machine should be placed on a stable, level workbench and secured appropriately in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
How should I maintain the morticing chisels?
Keep the chisels clean and sharp, remove resin or debris after use and inspect them regularly for wear or damage.
Correctly maintained chisels help produce cleaner mortices and reduce unnecessary strain on the machine.
