FULL DESCRIPTION
This bench morticer is powered by a 550W, high torque induction motor that is extremely quiet in operation and will mortice up to 16mm in softwood and hardwood. The CNC machined cast table has 160mm lateral (side to side) and 40mm longitudinal (front to back) movement operated by two independent handles. This dual action movement allows you to smoothly and accurately align the wood under the chisel and bit for pin point morticing. This method means that you do not need to manually move the wood and hold it in place every cut.

Made from grey iron castings the headstock and table run on dovetail slides. The dovetail slides are fully adjustable to allow for the elimination of any play that may occur from heavy or prolonged use, resulting in a machine that will maintain its accuracy over a lifetime. A gas strut counterbalances the weight of the headstock ensuring a controlled and smooth movement of the chisel into the workpiece. The jaws of the clamp are fractionally inward-tapered to powerfully hold the wood in position, which prevents the wood from rising off the table when removing the chisel. For repetitive depth and length morticing, reliable horizontal and vertical depth stops are provided.

The maximum workpiece size is 120mm high by 100mm deep, with a distance from the centre of chisel to the back fence of 55mm. This power house of a morticer, weighs 42kg and is built and designed for professional use. It is supplied is a 10mm mortice chisel and accepts industry standard 19mm diameter shank mortice chisels. Highly recommended this robust and precise morticer is consistently rated as 5 star in customer reviews. ©

Rutlands small mortiser
Purchased Rutland small mortiser it came within the stated time it was well packed I assembled it without any problems, instructions where easy to follow it was well set up straight out of the box just had to set the column parallel with the table back fence. it is maybe more for a hobbyist but it does a good job on larger projects too I’ve found it well made and really good value for the money

First impressions are a good piece of kit. Looks solid and should take what I will need to throw at it. Assembly instructions not that hot but only took me a couple of minutes to work it out for myself anyway (and I would assume that anyone using machinery such as this would not have a problem). At the price would certainly recommend it.

I recently invested in this morticer for making the framework for my new kitchen units. I am absolutely delighted with it. The ability to move the chisel back and forth with the hand wheel makes setting up simple and precise. I estimate it has saved me two or three days in man hours compared to hand morticing. Brilliant.

The assembly instructions are not that good however set up is very simple and took me less than 20 minutes. The only tweak I had to make was to adjust the screws on the gib strip because the lateral movement was quite stiff when first out of the box. Really impressed with how quiet the motor runs.

Morticer arrived safely here in Ireland, very easy to assemble and the motor runs extremely quietly. Installed the morticer on a unit I built with two bolts either side of the base. The only thing I would change the handle for a wheel that moves the base side to side. For the money it's an excellent buy and fully recommended.
