This is the ideal tool for small to medium size timber frame companies, while being simple enough to operate for the "do-it-yourself" home builders. Seems to me that with both these machines cutting across the grain, there would be some substantial forces trying to pull the bar away when the chain first starts cutting until it has plunged a bit and is trapped in it’s path down. I have used them all, the Mafell, Protocol and Swiss Tool mortiser are incredible tools that greatly speed things up for the professional.

I am not looking for a chain mortiser, I am looking for the type with a frame to hold the post and the guide bar attachment on the saw to do the mortises. The 7104L/2 is equipped with a front cover to enclose the cutter chain, pivoting chain bar to enable the user to make 130mm long recangular holes in three cutting processes without having to re-clamp the work piece and single plunge operation. Im Just trying to find out what sort of saw and bar and chain combo People use for chainsaw Mortising ect In the log home building industry or any one else that uses this method?We illustrte in our present issue a machine which has apt I y been said to be an invention as revolutionary as that of the band saw. These machines the chain mortiser rep laces, throwi ng into disuse the old chiseling processes, and substituting therefor a cutting tool which eats its way into the heart of the hardest or softest wood with the utmost rapidity, making therein a m orti se of mathematical accu racy of s h ape, cleali ng it of even the smallest chip and leaving no core to be knocked out. gif" alt=" " title=" ">" title="
