Mortising Machine
Build a shop-made mortising machine that routs perfect mortises in under a minute. Simple, accurate, and great for any woodworking project.
Cut perfect mortises quickly and accurately with this step-by-step plan for a shop-built mortising machine. Designed to work with a handheld router and spiral bit, this jig simplifies the process of routing mortises—no more tedious drilling and chiseling. Whether you're building furniture or cabinetry, this machine delivers clean, precise joinery in less than a minute per mortise.
The mortising machine combines a vertically moving router carriage with a sliding table that adjusts in two directions. This setup ensures repeatable, high-precision results while keeping your workpiece securely clamped during the cut. Ideal for both small batches and large-scale projects, it’s an efficient, cost-effective alternative to commercial mortisers—and a rewarding project to build in your own shop.
