Mortise and slotter chains for wood boring

Top quality. Cleanest cutting holes. Long lasting.

Cutting mortises into wood requires a unique and dedicated tool.

Few makers are left in the world, as this technology has been deemed obsolete, but how else do you cut mortises into timber frames or mortises for making windows and doors? Or mortises into fence posts? We have searched and found the best suppliers in Europe and USA. We also make some drive sprockets on our own, to guarantee the roundest, quietest chain drive operation. Today's chains are made with precision CNC machines, in order to run rounder, smoother, quieter. Check it out, our chains cut the cleanest mortise!

Available: Mortise and Slotter chains for Mafell, Sauer, ProTool, Hema, SwissPro, Haffner, Wadkin and others.

Custom sizes in mortise and slotter chainsAlso available: Custom size bar and chains for our SwissPro and stationary mortisers

Chain sharpenerWe carry chain sharpening machines, especially designed for sharpening mortise and slotter chains with the proper pitch and angle.

Or use our chain sharpening service to keep the proper pitch and correct angle for the maximum life of the edge.

If you are a sharpening service, call us for proper profile information!

Get better service life out of your chain - Use our "Chain-Fitness" spray to lubricate chains. It penetrates, gels, keeps chains cool. Reduces wear and tear. Makes chains run quieter! (Great for any mechanical moving device!)

We recommend "Hard-chrome Plated" chains. Hard-chrome plated chains hold their sharp edge at least double the time, compared to standard hardened chains.

chain ordering specsWhen ordering, refer to these dimensions (see picture at left).


chain pitch diagramChoose "A" type chains for most applications of routine mortise work with North American timbers.

Choose "B" pitch chains for work of higher level of accuracy and precision. This chain is less aggressive and susceptible to breaking under duress.

Choose "C" type only for extremely precise work.

Hard Chrome Plated chains

The hard chrome plated option actually doubles time between sharpenings.
