1. If you enjoy working with top-end machinery, European manufacturers offer heavy-duty slot mortisers for $3,000 and up. With a larger machine like the Felder FD 250, you encounter a new world of fit, finish, smooth operation, and well-engineered stops and clamps that make the most complex mortises simple, accurate, and repeatable.
2. A slot mortiser is a specialised piece of machinery that is capable of cutting very precise cylindrical, square and rectangular slots into wood. Also known as a horizontal mortiser, this relatively simple machine has a static router mounted on its side. The workpiece is held in place on a multi-axis table.

Essential Furniture Building Tool

The Mortiser has been an essential machine in my shop since I bought one of the original Stanfield machines 27 years ago. The beauty of this design is that all your adjustments or settings are quick and easy since they are right in front of you and the wood stays put while the router moves in all three axes. The parts for the machines are made for me here in Bellingham by a very capable machine and CNC shop, Irongate Machinery.
