Choosing The Right Morticer Accessories
When selecting morticer accessories from MyToolShed.co.uk, consider these essential factors:
Chisel size and type: Mortice chisels typically range from 6mm to 25mm widths. Choose sizes that match your most frequent joint dimensions, and ensure compatibility with your specific morticing machine model.
Material quality: High-carbon steel chisels offer superior edge retention and durability compared to standard variants. For heavy-duty professional use, hardened and tempered steel provides extended service life between sharpening.
Machine compatibility: Verify that accessories match your morticing machine's specifications, including shank diameter, mounting systems, and maximum chisel capacity. Different manufacturers may use proprietary fitting systems.
Power requirements: If your morticing setup includes 240v powered components, ensure all electrical accessories meet UK safety standards and are suitable for workshop environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should mortice chisels be sharpened?
Sharpen your mortice chisels when you notice increased resistance during cutting, burning marks on timber, or rough mortice walls. Professional joiners typically sharpen chisels every few days with regular use, though frequency depends on timber hardness and workload intensity.
Can I use mortice chisels from different manufacturers on my machine?
Whilst many mortice chisels follow standard sizing conventions, mounting systems and shank specifications can vary between manufacturers. Always verify compatibility with your specific morticing machine model before purchasing to ensure proper fit and safe operation.
What's the difference between hollow and solid mortice chisels?
Hollow mortice chisels feature a square hollow section that surrounds an auger bit, allowing waste material to be extracted whilst cutting. This is the standard design for bench morticing machines and provides the clean, square mortices required for quality joinery work.
