MORTISER
The mortiser unit is composed of the removable support and the chuck mounted on the planer arbor. It
is designed to work wood; the use of all other materials is prohibited.
– mortising holes in all wood types with or without depth stop;
– mortising slots in solid wood;
– boring out knot holes
PROHIBITED USE
The following tasks are prohibited on the mortising unit;
– milling or tenoning with tools that do not have this purpose
– grinding metal parts e.g. planer knives.
REMAINGING RISKS
The main sources of danger on a mortiser unit are:
– unintentional contact of hands or other parts of the body with the rotating tool;
– tipping of the work piece due to insufficient support;
– contact with the planer arbor as it rotates.
Despite the use of specific protection devices and the application of the hygiene and safety
instructions, some risks remain when working with the mortiser:
– Risk of accidents in the insecure area of the tools
– Risk of wounding while replacing tools (cuts through contact with the knives)
– Crushing of the fingers
– Risk of jamming of the hand in the machine, when using a removable pusher
– Risk of back kicked pieces of wood
– Health risks through prolonged inhalation of particles, especially oak, beech or other exotic sorts of
wood
– Deafness through prolonged exposition to noise
TYPES OF TOOLS
Cutter blocks and the tool holders with interchangeable knives are frequently used when moulding.
The cutter blocks can be made in 1 piece, the cutting part being fitted in a body of hard steel, mostly
chromium steel. The tool holders consist of the part on which the knives are fitted mechanically. Their
cutting part is made out of hard metal (HSS) or calcium-carbide (K), as is the case for the cutter blocks.
Circular saw
The use of saw blades in hard metal (HSS) is strictly forbidden. Always use carbide-tipped (K) saw
blades.
Planer-thicknesser
The most frequently used planer knives are carbide (K) or hard metal blades (HSS).
Mortiser
Only use “left” drills on the mortiser. To avoid vibrations short drills should be used as often as possible.
IMPORTANT:
for each tool and for each diameter, the correct speed must be chosen.
