Powermatic Mortisers

Shop Powermatic Mortisers at Acme Tools.

POWERMATIC® mortisers, essential in the professional woodworking toolkit, create sturdy joints by making square recesses for tenons. These tools come in benchtop and freestanding models, all powered by 1-phase motors achieving a consistent 1725 rpm spindle speed. They handle various chisel sizes and mirror the robust construction of Powermatic drill presses, ensuring stability and precision while reducing vibrations.

Benchtop mortisers stand out with features like quick-adjust depth stops for uniform cuts and a cam lock for efficient fence positioning. They also secure workpieces effectively and adjust chisel spacing as needed. In contrast, mortisers with stands tilt to handle angled mortises, with adjustable clamps for holding workpieces at various angles. They simplify repeat mortising tasks with user-friendly stops and large handwheels, controlling table movements with minimal effort. Both types use a rack-and-pinion system for accurate head placement and offer easy drill chuck access through a hinged door. When used with shapers, mortisers enable detailed joinery, crucial for high-quality furniture. Choosing Powermatic mortisers ensures precise, durable joints in woodworking projects.
