Mortising Machines Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a mortiser used for?
-
A mortiser is used for creating uniform holes in solid wood that will accept a tenon. A mortise and tenon is a reliable joining method for two pieces of wood.
-
-
Can you use a drill press as a mortising machine?
-
While there are attachments available to allow a chisel and bit to be fitted in a drill press, it is far from ideal. A drill press does not usually incorporate X and Y axis table movement making accurate mortising a chore. Safe operation is also an issue – without sufficient guarding the operation can be dangerous.
-
-
What tool can be used to drill a mortise?
-
To create a clean, square mortise a hollow chisel and bit are used. Alternatively, some machines use a chain set for larger/ deeping mortises.
-
-
Can you cut a mortise with a chisel?
-
While perfectly possible, creating a mortise with a hand held chisel is time consuming. A dedicated mortiser will speed up production and help ensure consistency of work across operators.
-
-
What is the difference between a chisel mortiser and chain mortiser?
-
A hollow chisel mortiser produces finer, more accurate work and is generally used in joinery and cabinet making. A chain mortiser can produce larger mortises in quicker time but is less accurate and produces a rougher finish. Chain mortisers are often used for fencing applications.
