About This Product

Remember when your holes were square. Strengthen your workpieces with the WEN Benchtop Mortising Machine. Our powerful 5 AMP motor provides you up to 1725 rotations per minute, making easy work out of even the toughest of woods. The spacious chuck accepts bits anywhere from 1/16 in. x 1/2 in. (1/4 in. x 1/2 in. for chisel bits), giving you the versatility needed to take on any project. With spindle travel of 4-1/4 in. and a maximum stock thickness of 4 in., you'll be able to create sturdy and reliable mortises up to 3 in. D. The pneumatic spring head returns easily and smoothly while the spring-loaded cast iron fence allows for both fine-tune and large-scale adjustments. The spacious table measures in at 13-1/2 in. x 6 in. with a work-piece hold down that accepts boards up to 3-1/2 in. thick. The adjustable feed handle rotates freely to prevent collision with your workpiece, springing back into place once you select your optimal start and stop points. The onboard depth stop prevents you from drilling past your intended distance. This package also includes 3 chisel bits, measuring in at 1/4 in., 3/8 in. and 1/2 in. size, along with an extra chuck extension adapter, a 3/4 in. chisel bushing and a 10 in. x 8 in. cast iron base. And because it's a WEN mortiser, your bench top mortising machine comes backed by a 2-year warranty, a nationwide network of skilled service technicians and a friendly customer help line, all to make sure you remember WEN.

My first mortises were a raging success!! I only needed to cut eight 1/2" wide mortises about 3" long and 3" deep and it handled the job perfectly. I do not try to push tools beyond their means and I never have (I take care of my tools). I'm not sure how the tool would stand up to really cranking down on the handle and using more force that required but it cut well in my maple table legs. Do your research on proper use of this tool AND proper height differences of the bit and chisel and you should be fine. My only complaint is the legs I was cutting into were 5" x 5" and I needed to remove the included wood bed to allow enough clearance for the chisel but that is absolutely no fault of the tool. I set up some crude stop blocks to get consistent cuts in each legs and it worked well.

The WEN Bench Mortiser is very good quality for the price of the product and does a great job for cutting the mortise in Hard Maple wood. The unit is weak when trying to set the mortise depth and maintaining that depth. The depth set collar is locked into position by a bolt with a knob that even when tighten very tight will allow the depth set collar to move down. I cut a piece of wood to maintain my mortise depth. The other issue there is no measuring scale anywhere to help set the depth.

Works like a dream.
I am dazzled by the quality and operation of this machine for the price. Set up in minutes and went right to building mortise and tenon face frames. Could not be happier
