Sorry, I got that wrong. For some reason I thought I saw Chris Schwarz using one (at Dictum) and thought it was ripping. However it was only ripping because they were dealing with a laminated top. The Makita looks really fussy to use (more like a real chainsaw).

Yeah, the Makita timber mounting system -- which normally works very well -- doesn't quite fit the bill when it comes to mortising large timbers. The Makita/Protool/Hema mortising stands, on the other hand, work very efficiently.

So the Makita does one fixed size mortice?
By the way, I mistakenly thought that Ohan was asking about framing chisels -- not cutters for the Makita mortiser.I as trying to be subtle. |

My apologies, Holmz, I must've lost something in translation.
Take 'er easy for all us sinners,

Great thread! Also feel free to post about ANY tools. This forum isn't out to make money but share information. It's nice to see everything out there when considering purchases, and I hope we can maintain honest opinions on here without bias.

Red,
On the off chance you don't already know this- GhostFist "owns the joint". He and the other moderators have made it clear from the get-go that any and all tools are far game.
Speaking only for myself, please continue to offer whatever incites you feel appropriate.
John

Whoa, I don't own the joint, you do. Feel free to yell at me though if you want stuff changed or added.

Pretty sure you pay the bills that keep the lights on, no?
No idea what that costs but I'd be happy to send some US dinero your way if needed. (Sorry for the hijack)

Well, it's certainly liberating to know that we're free to discuss all of our tools ... but I still think that it's inappropriate to turn the MUF into an electrical theory forum for amateurs.
Having spent many years in the electrical field, here's my honest insight: PLEASE seek guidance from an electrical expert before performing any type of electrical work.
Be safe,
Red

Here's another one of the Protool CMP 150. Just like the LS 103 Ec, it requires a mortising stand for stable/accurate positioning on a timber. The mortising stand depicted here is the Protool GMP 145, and it works very well. It has a very smooth plunge and return action that helps the machine perform very efficiently.
The photographer also got a pretty good view of the modified power cord and plug that allows this mortiser to operate via our Subaru-Robin genset's 240VAC receptacle. By the way, the plug on the end of the power cord is a NEMA L14-30P.

I pay a very small fee for hosting pictures on the sight. Other than that the board is hosted for free, pain for by those ads I can't see due to my ad blocker.  |
