Mortising Machine
The Stanfield horizontal mortiser, an essential shop machine for furniture building.
Essential Furniture Building Tool
The Mortiser has been an essential machine in my shop since I bought one of the original Stanfield machines 27 years ago. The beauty of this design is that all your adjustments or settings are quick and easy since they are right in front of you and the wood stays put while the router moves in all three axes. The parts for the machines are made for me here in Bellingham by a very capable machine and CNC shop, Irongate Machinery.
Just about everyone who has bought one of the machines has taken one of my classes or seen it in my shop but we have made a few simple videos
The current version of the mortiser sells for $1975. Add 1/4 and 3/8 inch endmills, 3/8ths to 1/2 inch collet reducer and two clamps for another $100. We recommend the Milwaukee variable speed router (5616-20) There are other routers that will work, just inquire.
Feel free to call me with any questions. I live in Bellingham, Washington.
