The performance advantages of our SwissPro KSP 16 mortiser
(with comparisons to Hema and Mafell chain mortisers)
The first new professional mortiser designed in 30
years!
Motor / Transmission
2000 Watt Suhner Industrial motor with electronic
controller (designed for continuous operation)
Motor
soft start (buffers motor and transmission) not available
on Hema or Mafell
Transmission
shaft locking with key (cannot loosen as with Hema)
Motor
can be removed without complete dismantling of transmission
(Hema)
Chain/chip ejection
Chain-set, compatible with Mafell and Hema
Bar
assembly onto solid metal key (ST-50), (will not bend
like Mafell)
Chip
ejection assisted by air exhaust.(new!), and wider
exit chute
Chain size of
40x50 mm possible (Mafell and Hema only to 28x50mm,
with wider chain fewer mortise plunges necessary)
Hard chromed chain supplied
for double edge life
Longer bars/chain can be ordered
(i.e. 8", 12")
Motor
exhaust is blown onto mortise cut, cleans it of accumulated
chips, view of scribe is always clear.
Guides
Guide shafts are made of polished hard-chromed heavy-gauged
(1/4')) tube.
CNC
turned, precise guide bushings of space-age material
(ERTALITE) with extremely high wear and tear resistance
and dry lubrication performance
Heavy-duty
gas spring for smooth return. (Larger size than Hema,
exponentially stronger, much more resistant to wear)
Gas
spring will buffer bouncing, can be easily exchanged
if needed, without fuss (extensive with Hema)
Full
depth of cut with standard bar (+6 1/2") (Unlike
Hema and Mafell which stop at 5 7/8")
Can be extended
to special length, i.e. 8" or 12", on
special order

even on slightest clamping pressure, will not break
like Mafell)

no wear and tear)
Scale
lasered-in (will not wear off)
Scales
in inches, optionally in metric
Base
setting to match chain width, exactly from 1 1/2" to
2" (Hema and Mafell have fixed measures for only
35 mm and 40 mm (metric only), causes errors and omissions)
Red
anodized positioning sleeve, simplifies clean view
onto scale.
Depth setting (Only available on SwissPro KSP)
Simple setting of depth measure (no ruler or measuring
tape necessary)
Depth
scale in inches (metric on request).
Scale
is lasered in, will not rub off.
