New Mortise Machine

[randgbruce]

Hi Guys looking to upgrade my dedicated mortiser . Any advise please either the Powermatic 719-T or the Sedgewick
571 MK2. Thanks for looking

I don't know the powermatic but I rate the Sedgewick machine as very good.

And the Multico is even better!

And an auger hammer and chisel is better than either. (hammer)

There is so little to go wrong with a 2nd hand morticer, I would go for a sedgewick, multico or wadkin.

Ive used both multico and wadkin 2nd hand machines in a busy joinery workshop where theyve been used for quite a few hours at a time.

Sedgwick, Wadkin, Dominion, Multico in that order of preference for a Morticer to take up to a 1" mortise chisel (softwood / 3/4" hardwood) For a larger chisel size it would be different!

Of course the Wadkin DM is the go to machine for a joinery shop.

Around £800 private sale, upto £2,500 from a dealer.
