Description
In cabinetmaking, there are several types of assembly and the mortise-tenon type is probably the best known and the most used. Among this type of assembly, the traditional square mortise-tenon is certainly the most popular because it has been proven and does not require any fancy equipment: a rule, a chisel, a mallet and time.
Of course, if you have no time left, a faster solution could be a tenoning jig on your table saw and a small benchtop mortiser. Steel City is offering its 5/8" hollow chisel mortiser for benchtop which will meet your needs and your budget.
- Motorized 1/2HP for operation on 110V, it is equipped with a Mini-Mag safety dust-resistant auto-lock switch
- Head, column, table and fence are massive cast-iron made for better vibration absorption
- Its base, which also serves as a table, measures 15-3/4"(40cm) wide x 17"(43cm) deep which gives the machine maximum stability
- The column has built-in dovetail slides that allow the head to slide with precision
