Anyone got any experience with chain morticers, particularly the small Ryobi?
Should I buy one that's going cheap ? |

What in the world is a chain morticer? :-) I assume Lie Nielson doesn't
make one.

Thanks guy's, Now I know. I wonder why Roy Underhill didn't show one in his
books? It would be fun (for a while) building a timber frame house. I've
always felt that the timber frame builders are highly skilled wood workers.

enough but the sound it made after spinning up to

sphincter clenching!
Imagine a kickback where the board stays put and
the saw AND operator gets thrown. THAT's a scary
tool.

I don't think "timber framing" is for the "faint of heart
or "the light in the ass" category.

I went to a Timber framing class a few years ago
http://www.timberframemag.com/TimberFramingWorkshops.htm and they had both
the chain mortiser and 16" saw. One of the two had been refitted with
an1/2" magnesium plate that eliminated the starting kick completely. The
difference was enough that most of us would wait for it after using the
standard saw one time.
And the chain mortiser was lots of fun.

I have a chain mortiser. It is an industrial type that I have used for
several years. It works well if you keep the chipper plate ( wood) in good
condition. Otherwise, you will get a breakout on the back side of the
mortise.

I think kickback with that saw is pretty unlikely. the large diameter
blade is being turned by a motor about the same size as a skil 77. the
amount of torque at the tooth can't be too high. it *should* be pretty
easy to stall.... |
