Horizontal Slot Mortiser Bits
Consider supporting me on: This little machine will be used for cutting slotted notches on my custom door pieces. The Platinum Series V-way Slot Mortiser allows users to easily and accurately cut slot mortises for a wide variety of projects. The 3-axis table raises and lowers on dovetail ways by an acme threaded rod for smooth operation. The table glides effortlessly on bearings in v-ways.
Feel free to call me with any questions. I live in Bellingham, Washington.

Essential Furniture Building Tool
The Mortiser has been an essential machine in my shop since I bought one of the original Stanfield machines 27 years ago. The beauty of this design is that all your adjustments or settings are quick and easy since they are right in front of you and the wood stays put while the router moves in all three axes. The parts for the machines are made for me here in Bellingham by a very capable machine and CNC shop, Irongate Machinery.
Just about everyone who has bought one of the machines has taken one of my classes or seen it in my shop. I need to make a few more videos demonstrating how it’s used since the article in Popular Woodworking has taken me off guard!

This is what the basic set up looks like (the old top had laminate on both sides and the clamps may change). Here's some videos showing how the mortisers are used.
