The KSF-300
Chain Slotter is an essential tool
for all types of carpentry and construction - not only
for joinery work such as on timber frames. The compact
design and comfortable weight of this versatile chain
slotter is ideal for mobile applications such as roof
repairs or renovations, restorations of old buildings
or additionally for repairs as become applicable on site.
Given
the large, stabilized lateral guide, the chain slotter can
be safely controlled even when working on installed bulkheads,
or when working in overhead situations.
The Swiss
KSF-300 Chain Slotter is made in
a very robust design, geared for efficient cutting of
slots and mortises, with a sturdy aluminum guide stand
and easily re-adjusted fences. Every part that could
be subject to excessive wear and tear is re-enforced
or oversized. It is also nicely weight balanced when
lifted. Wood chips are ejected sideways, leaving the
cutting area clean for viewing. The tool is complemented
with two fences for even and straight cuts. As more user
comments are confirming: many general problems that afflict
slotters and mortisers have been eliminated with the Swiss KSF-300.
The motor drive shaft will not split apart because of
heavy gauge used and a spline that is not drilled through
end to end, thereby maintaining integrity of the shaft
while holding the drive sprocket firmly in place. The
bar will not run out of square, as it is held by a large
metal key embedded and backed by re-enforced gauge of
the housing. That holds the bar parallel and keeps tension
equalized over a wide housing area.
That
makes the Swiss KSF-300
Chain Slotter extremely reliable over
time, and an essential high production tool for all types of
carpentry - especially slotting, such as on timber frames for
metal inserts. The maximum depth of cut reaches about 12" or
300mm. We use standard imperial dimension chain sizes, but
can supply metric and custom sizes of bars and chains.
