FEATURES

Heavy duty cast-iron head, column and
base built for steady vibration free per-
formance.

Head slides on precision machined cast-
iron dovetail ways - stroke is controlled by
a gas head-cylinder for smooth operation.

Head tilts up to 30° left or right for angled
mortising, and pivots up to 180° for off
table mortising.

Adjustable head height extends working
capacity by up to 3” (up to 9” under chis-
el), to accommodate work with taller work-
pieces.

Equipped with easy to adjust dual depth
stop for complete control of both down
stroke depth and upstroke travel.

Large feed handle with extra long, multi-
position arm for better leverage and
increased feed control.

Includes an adjustable workpiece stop,
handwheel controlled clamp and a col-
umn mounted hold-down.

Totally enclosed fan cooled (T.E.F.C.) motor
with start capacitor for smooth start-up
and longer running life.

Dust protected on/off switch.

Includes adapter bushings to accommo-
date both 5/8” and 3/4” sized chisel
shanks.
