Axminster AW19FM Floor Standing Morticer

This is a robust morticer of substantial cast iron construction, suitable for trade use and with plenty of power to cut 19mm mortices. The table movement is controlled by two hand wheels, one for longitudinal and one for the transverse movement; the movement is smooth and precise with dovetail slides and jib strips for fine adjustment. The table has a wooden facing for through morticing as well as a length stop for repetition work, a very convenient quick acting vice and two cam-operated work clamps. There is a very clear and well-positioned scale at the rear of the table which, combined with the two travel stops, makes for accurate and convenient cutting of long mortices. The down feed handle can be easily re-positioned on its shaft to give the most convenient working position. The weight of the head is counter balanced by a gas strut and the up and down movement is controlled by a pair of stops and an easy-to-read scale. The morticing chisel is located in a choice of two mounting bushes, 3/4" or 13/16" depending on the size of the chisel, and the auger is driven by a 16mm capacity drill chuck. The morticer is mounted on a cabinet base which has a lockable door and shelf space for storage.
