To maintain optimum
performance, the hollow
chisels must remain sharp.
The Powermatic 701
Benchtop Mortiser comes
with a diamond-encrusted
sharpening cone installed at
the top of the column so it is
always handy and ready for
use. A few quick turns
before installing will keep
your chisels cutting clean
and easy.
The special bushing spacer leaves (left) make setting the drill/chisel offset
fast, easy and tool free. To keep the chisels sharp, a diamond encrusted
sharpening point (right) is mounted on the column.
We even added a handy tool storage rack that holds the included
chisel bushing, chuck extender and chuck key. There are also spaces
for your favorite chisel/bit sets so everything you need to work is
close at hand.
Because most woodworkers use one or two hollow chisels for their
projects, we do not include a set with the Powermatic 701 Benchtop
Mortiser. That lets us keep the price down while allowing you to
invest in the sizes you really need and use.
Though designed as a benchtop tool, open and closed bases are
available for the Powermatic 701 Benchtop Mortiser for when a floor-
mounted configuration best fits your shop.
If you are considering a mortising machine, take a hard look at the
Powermatic 701 Benchtop Mortiser. If accuracy and long-term
durability are important, the Powermatic 701 Benchtop Mortiser was
designed especially for you.
A handy tool rack is built
onto the column to make
sure everything you need
is always close at hand.
Other features include reversing the head for handling oversized projects off of the table (left)
A 2” riser block for more over-table capacity (center) and an extra long, solid steel arm (right)
That makes using the Powermatic 701 Benchtop Mortiser far less tiring.
