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.
