Dang, now THAT'S a mortiser!

Dang. Wow. I want one. What are all the tubes/hoses for?

This is a Maka Mortiser. My friend Dave Sochar at Acorn Woodworks in
Westfield IN has one. It works very well. Dave and his company make
fancy entrance doors and of cource lots of mortise-tenon. Our local
sharpening service sharpens the cutters.

That makes my Delta look like a toy! I wonder how much one of those
blades costs.

Pretty cool. It reminds me a bit of a chain mortiser
http://www.timberwolftools.com/tools/makita/M-7104L.html, but clearly
more versitle.

Looks like a pneumatic workpiece clamp, pneumatically driven mortising head,
and a blower line to clear the prodiguous quantity of chips created.

G'day Bruce,
That's an understatement. ;)
I've never seen anything like this before. It certainly is impressive
and efficient.

Nice- but what took so long for the Mortise?

Wow, I'd say the word "craftsman" definitely applies in this case. I
even like the style, but the workmanship appears to be first-rate.

The site actually suggests that they are not bad.

http://www.henneburyspecialtywoodcraft.com/maka_mortiser.htm

Go to the bottom of that page and check out the illustrations. That thing
can cut double mortises, haunched mortises, trapzoidal and T-shaped mortises
all in a single "operation" just by mounting the appropriate bit.

I suspect that mortise head takes some pretty specialized sharpening to
produce a cut that clean.
