  • Page 5: Introduction

    A morticer is a specialised woodworking machine used to cut square or rectangular holes in a piece of wood. The Bench Morticer (also called a hollow chisel morticer), combines the cutting of a four-sided chisel with the action of a drill bit in the centre. The bit clears out most of the material to be removed and the chisel ensures the edges are straight and clean.
