The JET JFM-5 Mortiser is
as tough as it is accurate
and versatile.
JET JFM-5 Hollow Chisel Mortiser
Cutting accurate mortises can be a challenging task. The JET JFM-5 Hollow Chisel Mortiser is designed to produce extremely accurate mortises in a wide range of woods and project designs, plus make this an easy task for the woodworker. The JET JFM-5 Hollow Chisel Mortiser has been designed and built to extend its value by maintaining its performance for many years under the demands of even busy woodworking shops.
We begin with a heavy-duty cast iron and steel frame for stability, accuracy and repeatability – not to mention long-term durability. Precision machining insures accuracy and smooth operation. The liberal use of cast iron gives the JET JFM-5 Hollow Chisel Mortiser a stabilizing mass of 267 pounds.
The massive powerhead casting slides on oversized dovetail keyways that feature easy to use Gib screw adjusters that allow the user to
compensate for tiny amounts of wear should that occur in years to come. We also applied Gib screw adjusters to the X –Y material table motions to provide ultimate control over feel and long-term accuracy.
