Here is a video showing how to set up your chain mortiser to the correct location on your timber. And how to use two tools to check your settings. Plus some other easy tips.
You adjust the width of the mortise by having the black handle down and there’s a plate with two bolts next to the handle,the chain is 16mm and set the adjustable plate at what ever size you need the mortise to be minus 16mm,do the first cut push the handle up to the stop and cut again.The chain always lines up with the end of the yellow indicator. Cheers
I believe the yellow tab is for alignment. Just draw your pencil line up to the yellow tab beyond the pocket, make it reach the yellow tab. Then when you move the cutter, you know where your cutter is. The yellow tab represent the cutter width and position.
I have a Makita trim router and a Makita biscuit cutter. You mentioned the problem that you could switch on the chain mortise if you don't pick it up using the top handle. Both my Makita tools have a similar problem - the switches are located in such a way that the tool is easily turned on when picking it up. Bad designs. I wonder if Makita has ever gotten into trouble for this (yet).
How do you like the Makita? I have a friend who uses only Mafell and another who uses Swisspro and they are suggesting that double the price for their tools is worth it.
I guess it's one of those things, you get what you pay for. You can ride down the street in a Ford or a Chevy. Or you can ride down the street in a Cadillac. I chose the Chevy. They both/all do the same thing, make mortises. I like mine. I've had it many years and have done lots of mortises. I just recently sent my chain out to be sharpened. First time for that.
@@JimRogers117 The fact that you have used the Makita for a while without issue speaks volumes. I agree with the get what you paid for adage but sometimes there are well made things that don't require triple the price. Sometimes a Chevy will do just fine. I cringe to think that I need to drop so much more on the top of the line because the less expensive versions won't cut it. Cutting them all by hand is a chore but so is throwing away money on a tool that breaks after a month of use. Feedback appreciated and thanks for the vid.
Could you use this tool to mortice into an upright post. I have about 2km of post and rail fencing to do with the rails mortised into 150mm x 150mm square posts. Will the clamp be strong enough to hold on the post in an upright position. Any advice would be appreciated before i fork out $3k (Aussie dollars) or so for one of these. Thanks in advance.
I would also be curious how it would handle an Australian hardwood species such as Ironbark? I'm not sure if you guys have ironbark or what the equivalent would be in the US?
I purchased this Makita morticer and am working with green heart. I am not really having much luck with it because it keeps biting and kicking really bad. Any tips? I really can't think that I am doing anything wrong am thinking it may just be that the timber is so dense.
Most curious about Chainsaw Morticer, it looks not dissimilar to a chainsaw, except that it function to cut direct cuts with some control involved and its quite nifty this tool that I have never laid my eyes on before
Philip, I am 30 miles north of Boston, MA in New England. Where are you? I own and operate a sawmill known as a Woodmizer. I make lumber full time and timber frame part time.
LOL. But seriously, it should be just right. This chain mortiser is not made to handle furniture pieces. It would take a lot of effort the make it fit if too tight.
Knowing the know/ledge is very good sharing is very good also for what ue will it be in the grave Europeans say knowledge is power but it only power so that you can steal legally from those that may know but are un aware of how one is stealing from the other
His comment was: Drilling ended in halfway. Sorry. In Japan this machine will cost about 200,000 yen. By the way, Hitachi's engine chain saw is about 20,000 yen. I feel that the price is opposite.
Some people... what a shame. The guy is showing you HOW to use the tool not looking for points showing the "money shot." Lame review. Move on Jim. You're providing a value to those who are actually interested in learning something and not just watching wood chips fly.
Thanks for posting Jim. Just picked one up this week. Looking forward to using the tool.
Awesome tips! Thank you, much appreciated.

never seen that tool before....thanks for the demo!
Great teaching, thank you!
Missed the actual full depth plunge and sweep, but great information all the same. Thanks for sharing that with us.
This machine looks well worth the money in my opinion. Atleast compared to the competitors.

I'll have to test it and see, I will and I'll get back to you.
@@JimRogers117 That would be great!!!

Thank you Jim and best regards from Brazil!!

Jim, thank you for this informative video! Z
Hello, thanks for the video. What brand is that, where can I find one?
Good tips Jim. By the way, Old Sneelock sent me.
Thanks Mitch
The back side of the chain when it is thrown to the other side is predetermined by the depth of the throw set by the bolt next to the throw handle.
Hi Jim, Old Sneelock sent me. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the video, Jim.

Good god, man, 9 minutes and you didn't even show the actual cuts being made. How about putting that info as a spoiler next time?
I believe that you are using a 7104 but it be nice to know for sure
I believe it is a 7104L model.
How much price
Thank you sir
Good demo. Thanks. .
+belson alan you're welcome. watch the one how to make a tenon with a mortiser....
You skipped over the money shot, wtf.
.
Excelente gracias ... you know store resale new chain saw only, thanks
Don't you care that the mortiser does not go as deep in the 2nd and 3rd tilted positions?
+Mary Cooley we normally plunge deeper then the actual mortise to make sure it deep enough

"id rather have it a little to tight than a little to fat and loose." Story of my life...
LOL. But seriously, it should be just right. This chain mortiser is not made to handle furniture pieces. It would take a lot of effort the make it fit if too tight.
thank you

穴あけが中途半端で終わった。残念。日本ではこの機械は20万円ぐらいする。因みに日立のエンジンチェーンソーは2万円ぐらい。値段が逆のような気がする。
