ROTATING COLUMN 180 DEGREES
Sometimes a workpiece may be too large to fit between
the base and the chisel. When this is the case, you
can rotate the column of the mortiser 180 degrees, as
shown, and perform the work off of a bench or floor.

USING AUXILIARY WOOD FENCE
When mortising an extra high workpiece, an auxiliary
fence can be fastened to the fence with wood screws
(not provided) through the holes in the fence. This
provides additional support for the workpiece during
mortising operation.
