INSTALLING THE MORTISER BIT

(CONTINUED)

You should now have the proper clearance space be-

tween the bit and chisel, with the auger bit protrud-

ing about 1/16 inch beyond the bottom of the chisel

(Fig. 14).

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

forward by adjusting the micro adjustment knob (see

page 13). 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 (FIG. 15)

The cutting depth can be set using the depth stop on the gear

column. Remember that the auger bit protrudes 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. 15 - 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 match-

es the depth line.

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

the depth stop up until it is flush against the bottom 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.

(ADDITIONAL FEATURE) 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.
