Chain Mortise Machine
Hi guys, I am in the market to purchase a chain mortise machine. I need some advice as to which machine would best suit my purpose. I am looking for a machine that can mortise a hole approx 50mm X 200mm. This is for Heritage style fencing (post and rail), utilising cypress pine timber. I have recently looked at the ProTool mortice machine, it appears to be a very good tool but I am wanting something that is mounted or can be mounted in a pedestel type arrangement.
Thanks.

That sort of work has traditionaly ( recent past ) be done with a hand held chain saw. there is aparantly an accessory that makes the operation a bit easier and safer but if you want a bench mounted machine you will probaly need to make it.
One other option would be to use a drill press and a big boring bit and round the tennons.
cheersAny thing with sharp teeth eats meat.
Most powertools have sharp teeth.
People are made of meat.
Abrasives can be just as dangerous as a blade.....and 10 times more painfull.

Just thinking out loud hereI may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Something like this?
I'd point you to the Makita online cattledog, but it's a Java thing, and nearly impossible to navigate if you can't read some Japanese.
Look for either model numbers 7100B or 7104.
