PREPARATION & ADJUSTMENTS

INSTALLING THE MORTISER BIT (CONT.)

You should now have the proper clearance space be-

tween the bit and chisel, with the auger bit protruding

about 1/16 inch beyond the bottom of the chisel (Fig.

15).

7. To square the chisel to the fence, bring the fence for-

ward by adjusting the micro adjustment knob. Plunge

the chisel downwards so its rear face is against the

fence. Ensure that the rear face of the chisel and the

front face of the fence are ﬂush against one another.

Adjust the chisel as necessary.

8. Tighten the chisel lock screw. Check that both the

chisel and auger bit are securely installed.

SETTING THE DEPTH STOP

The cutting depth can be set using the depth stop on

the gear column. Remember that the auger bit pro-

trudes below the chisel and will create a slightly deeper

cut below the square. When gluing mortise and tenon

together, this provides a small amount of space for the

excess glue.

1. Loosen the depth stop (Fig. 16 - 1) knob and slide

the depth stop to the bottom.

2. Draw a line indicating the desired mortise depth on

the side of the workpiece. Place the workpiece on the

table and lower the machine head until the bottom of

the chisel matches the depth line.

3. With the machine head held in position, in position,

move the depth stop up until it is ﬂush against the bot-

tom of the mortiser headstock. Tighten the depth stop

knob to secure the cutting depth. Release the handle.

Now, you’ll stop at the desired depth for every cut.

USING THE EXTENSION DRILL CHUCK

Your mortiser comes with an extra extension drill

chuck that allows your mortiser to double as a drill

press. To install this extension drill chuck, loosen the

mortiser chuck in the machine to fully open the chuck

teeth. Clean the surface of the extension spindle and

insert the extension spindle into the mortiser chuck.

Fully tighten the three mortiser chuck holes with the

onboard chuck key to secure the extension chuck.

Install drill bits into the extension chuck, fully tighten

the drill bit on the extension chuck, and there you have

transformed your mortiser into a drill press.
