Mortisers

Mortisers for sale for joinery workshops, including the British-built Sedgwick 571 hollow chisel mortiser, plus used mortisers when they come in. We deliver and install your machine, train your operators, and supply servicing and spare parts afterwards, with finance available.

What Does a Mortiser Do?

A mortiser cuts the mortise, the rectangular slot that a tenon fits into, for doors, windows and frames. A hollow chisel mortiser drives a square chisel into the timber while an auger inside it clears the waste, leaving a clean, square-ended hole. It’s quicker and more accurate than cutting mortises by hand or with a router, and every slot in a batch comes out the same.

The Sedgwick 571

The Sedgwick 571 is a cast iron hollow chisel mortiser, made in Leeds. It runs on a single phase supply and suits joinery shops making doors, windows and staircases. We also list used mortisers when they come in.

Mortisers and Tenoners

A mortiser works alongside a tenoning machine, which cuts the matching tenon.
