5 out of 5 stars Chain Mortiser review from an owner and user   January 7, 2008
Robert Griffin (West Branch, MI United States)
I purchased this unit several years ago. Use it sparingly, but it is fantastic. I originally cut mortise pockets by hand. This is soooo much easier, better, faster ect. I use these type of reviews, so felt somewhat obligated to pass on my thoughts on items. Again, very easy to use, just clamp onto the log, set the depth and make the cut. I have used it only with oak and it cuts a very clean mortise. I have had zero problems with this. Heavy, well built.


5 out of 5 stars I like the Makita design   September 29, 2006

I've used the ProTool and the MaFell mortisers and I prefer this Makita unit. It's quick to setup and I'm comfortable with the process that Makita uses -- cutting mortises in strips. You can cut a 5" wide mortise without any repositioning and a mortise for a 2" thick tenon cuts in three strips. A 2x5 mortise takes at most a minute to setup and cut. Cleanup is minimal. It was delivered with a broken handle and some brackets bent up. Amazon was of no help but the local Makita service center is trying to get the parts replaced.
