14 best mortising machines
A mortising machine, in the context of woodworking and carpentry, is a specialized power tool designed for cutting square or rectangular holes called mortises. These mortises are typically used for joining pieces of wood together, such as in the construction of furniture and cabinetry. Here's what you need to know about mortising machines in relation to Mortisers, Drill Presses, Power Tools, Power Hand Tools, Tools Home Improvement, and woodworking:
Mortising Process: Mortising involves creating a cavity or recess (mortise) in one piece of wood that precisely matches the shape and dimensions of another piece (tenon).This allows for a strong and secure joint when the tenon is inserted into the mortise.
Types of Mortisers: There are different types of mortising machines, including:
Benchtop Mortiser: This compact, portable machine is suitable for small to medium-sized woodworking projects. It is often used by hobbyists and DIY enthusiasts.
Floor-Standing Mortiser: Larger and more powerful, floor-standing mortisers are designed for professional woodworking shops and can handle larger workpieces.
Hollow Chisel Mortiser: This type of mortiser uses a hollow chisel and a drill bit to cut square holes. It is a common choice for creating mortises.
Components: A typical mortising machine consists of several key components, including a motor, a chisel, a drill bit, a worktable, and a fence. The chisel and drill bit work together to remove material and create the mortise.
Operation: To use a mortising machine, the woodworker secures the workpiece to the worktable and positions it under the chisel and drill bit. When the machine is activated, the chisel and bit move simultaneously, cutting out the mortise.
Accuracy: Mortising machines are known for their precision, allowing woodworkers to create clean and accurate mortises. The depth and width of the mortise can often be adjusted to meet specific project requirements.
Safety: As with all power tools, safety precautions are essential when using a mortising machine. Operators should wear safety glasses and hearing protection and ensure that the machine is properly maintained and securely mounted.
Applications: Mortising machines are commonly used in woodworking for various applications, including crafting joints for doors, windows, furniture frames, and other wooden structures that require strong and durable connections.
Accessories: Some mortising machines come with additional accessories, such as different-sized chisels and bits, to accommodate various mortise dimensions.
Maintenance: Regular maintenance, such as keeping the chisel and drill bit sharp and lubricating moving parts, is important to ensure the machine's longevity and performance.
Mortising machines are valuable tools for woodworkers looking to create strong and precise joints in their projects. They simplify the process of making mortises, saving time and effort compared to traditional hand methods. Whether you're a professional woodworker or a DIY enthusiast, a mortising machine can be a useful addition to your woodworking arsenal.

User questions & answers
Question: | Does it take 4c4 inch material |
Answer: | This mortiser is not available in 220 V. |
Question: | Can this make 3/4” mortise |
Answer: | I don't think it would be a very good drill press. First, the chuck is small, so you'll only be able to use small bits. You can buy table drill presses cheep. |
Question: | How Wide a board can this handle? Can it handle 5 1/2 to 6 inch wide boards |
Answer: | Delta’s bits only go to 1/2” but you can buy other brands up to 1” but you will need to be able to make a shank adapter. Delta tries to make you purchase their bits by using a non standard sized shank. |
Question: | How much distance under the chisel? Or in other words how wide a board can this machine mortise |
Answer: | The way it comes from the box I don't believe it will mortise 6" stock. You can rotate the head 180 degrees to mortise larger stock but I have never done that with my machine. I think that it may be possible to install bushings (3/8" pipe nipples of sufficient length and longer bolts to attach column to base) between the column and base to raise the column enough to allow clearance for 6" stock. |

User questions & answers
Question: | can I buy this machine to 220v 50hz (EU pat |
Answer: | Hello, Thanks for your inquiry. There are no markings on the line. We are currently looking into adding such markings in the future. |
Question: | Trying to have just one piece of equipment, Will this work as a drill press without the mortice bit |
Answer: | It's maybe an 1\8 inch wide, and 1\4 inch thick, but you can take it off, which I did. |
Question: | what is the largest bit it can take |
Answer: | Being about a 1/4" metal strip, it is too stiff to fall down at such a precise bend. Most likely you would have to get over the wall, then project the cable down. Even then, it may easily curve and not go straight down. A alternative could be a metal nut (3/4" or more), tied to a string, then dropped down the wall. this will work if the wall has no internal insulation or other obstructions. Good luck. |
Question: | to clarfy a question already asked. i would like to mortice a piece that will be 6" tall, targeting a 2" deep mortise. will this machine work? max |
Answer: | Yes definitely. I used it to run CAT6 to five rooms in my house last week and it worked great. Some tips in case they help - drill a very small hole in the ceiling directly above where you want your drop and stick a coat hangar through it to get a point of reference in the attic. Also, I would fish string through the wall first and then pull the cable once string is through. Maybe basic stuff but I didn't know any of this before I started... |

Question: | What is the diameter of the shank on the spiral bit? Thz |
Answer: | I like the way they fit when I purchased them, but be mindful that once your ear relaxes and gets comfortable with the jewelry it can always slip like any other plugs. |
Question: | What is the diameter of the chisel shank |
Answer: | These do run small/loose. If you’re having a hard time getting them in I would try after a hot shower but don’t push it. You don’t want to split your ear lobe. Maybe try sizing down and then gradually gauge up to your desired size. Use neosporin when gauging to heal your inner lobe and do not rush the process. Of course you can always stop into any local piercing/tattoo shop and seek professional advice, which is best. Good luck. |

User questions & answers
Question: | How accurate are 90 degree perforations |
Answer: | I use the drill set to drill holes for screws for hinged locks; door hinges; pad locks etc |
Question: | I purchased this mortised but can’t find replacement chisels anywhere. Can you help? Are there other brand chisels that will fit this machine |
Answer: | Hi, this item is universal, but you need to confirm whether the size is appropriate. |
Question: | power source 120v or 240v |
Answer: | It is a decent machine. The motor is powerful. It has the right set-up using the motor's weight to help push the mortising chisel/bits down etc. However The fence is not finely machined, to do accurately placed, repeatable mortises you will be making your a lot of your own templates. You might also consider buying a cross-sliding drill press vice. I've found that the best templates control the bits path above the intended site of the mortise. in other words you clamp the piece under the template (which should be at least 3/4" thick) that has a pre-cut square hole of the same size as the bit. |
Question: | Can this be used as a standard drill press as well |
Answer: | Yes. Comes with 4 chisels. |

User questions & answers
Question: | can u use a 3/4 bit in machine |
Answer: | the person who answered no is ignorant, these will easily work on a drill press as long as the chuck is large enough to chuck up a bit of the appropriate size. In fact it is the best way to use one of these types of bits. |
Question: | I'm looking to make through mortises through 4" stock. Wondering if this machine can perform that task |
Answer: | It is too large for Deltas bench to mortiser, both chuck size and mortiser bushing are too small. With a 1/2" drill press you solve the chuck size issue but I dont know what the mortising attachment bushing size is. |
Question: | how is the side to side play? my schools shop has a jet and its terrible |
Answer: | 1/4 |
Question: | Does this item ship in two separate boxes? What is in each box |
Answer: | This is not 5/8"; it is 3/4". Based on previous answer I brought this but its too big for my 5/8 " Delta machine! |
