Parts Identification and Description (Continued) Tool post Two steel shafts mounted into the rear of the base casting, they are the columns ‘runners’ for the headbox. They are ‘bridged’ at the top to increase accuracy (See fig 2) and rigidity, The machine lamp is mounted on the bridging lozenge. The right hand column has a rack cut in the surface which engages with a pinion in the headbox assembly to provide the rise and fall action.
Parts Identification and Description (Continued) Hold Down Yoke This is a small ‘U’ shaped yoke casting. The underside of the arms of the ‘U’ (See fig 4b) are flat, to rest on the workpiece. In the middle of the yoke is a land sufficiently large enough to be bored through to accept the mounting rod.
Setting up the Machine Overview Unlike the traditional morticing machines, which allow the table to move in 2 axis, i.e. side to side and front to rear, the table of this morticer does not move at all. The workpiece must be moved to achieve the side to side movement, and the placement of the back fence simulates the front to rear movement.

Setting up the Machine (Continued) General Notes The morticer will generate a lot of ‘grip’ on the chisel, especially the first cut, or if the timber is a little green. Make sure you use the hold down yoke to help control the timber during the raise operation of the morticer.
Reposition the plunge lever handle to give the most comfortable position and purchase on the lever, over the full distance of the movement you have just set. Using the AW12BM as a Drill Press Warning. Do not work on metal/material that could leave greasy/oily marks, without removing the mortising table.
Blow/suck the motor to remove any debris that might have lodged in the fan cover. Oil the chuck and exercise it over its full range to ensure the oil coats all moving parts. There are full ranges of mortice chisels and a useful sharpening set listed in Section 1 of the Axminster catalogue.
