How to Cut a Timber Frame Mortice

[kokaneesailor]

It's just that easy!! Love using the Makita. Cuts a mortise like a hot knife thru butter...can get you in trouble real quick if your day dreaming as well, that's why they call me "patches"..lol!!!

2:26 it moved,  its got to be off by a small amount i would make it tighter and force it in so it has pressure on it already. great vid.

he uses a long two handed Japanese chisel, does anyone knows the name of this chisel and, maybe, where I can get one in Europe? THX...

You can cut a lot of mortises with a drill and a chisel. If you're not in a hurry, it can even be preferable. I've used a DeWalt or Milwaukee D-handled 1/2 drill many times, and even a Millers-Falls human-powered boring machine on occasion. I have to say, if you like the quiet and the rhythm of hand-work mixed with conversation on a pleasant site, you can't beat the Millers-Falls. OTOH, if you're trying to make a living, speed is essential.

Nice, How do you like the Makita 7104 ? I am looking at picking on up but am torn between that and the Mafell. The clamp on the Mafell looks beefy but I am thinking the Makita will suite my needs (building our house and cabins).

Nice bro! I am currently in the process of buying land with timber to build our house and cabins. Went to look at the Woodmizer LT 15 this weekend and am also looking at the Makita 7104 chain mortiser. How do you like yours? Can't wait to start felling, milling and mortising. Where you located? Were looking at land north of Ithaca.

I used to use one when doing green oak construction with a company in Wales, UK. It was a mafel morticer.

I guess that is air or even kiln dried softwood. looks like cutting butter in comparison. odd not to use an ink centre line? I guess you don't need it with joinery timber eh? haha

[Kaizeris77]

please,let us know on the tool details,great job.

[karenwk1]

Could you tell me what this tool is and where to get it?

[NSResponder]

It's called a "Chain mortiser". Google it, you'll find lots of vendors.
