The new Powermatic PM701 Benchtop Mortiser features an in-line depth stop which allows the user to stop at preset depths without racking the mortiser bit to the base. Its heavy-duty reversible handle is so versatile that it can be changed from 1-side to the other quickly and easily and requires no tools to do so. The stock hold down features a specially designed double lock system. 1 locks from the side, the other locks from the top, to completely eliminate any slippage when removing the chisel from the work piece. This hold-down is also reversible to allow stock from 0 in. to 5 in. thick to be captured underneath it. The new Powermatic 701 Benchtop Mortiser has a quick-action cam lock that will quickly lock the fence into position with one 90° movement. This lock also features lock nuts, so once set they will not have to be continually adjusted. Set-up has never been easier or more precise. The new Powermatic 701 Benchtop Mortiser features an integrated bit and chisel spacer system. These 2 spacers are used to accurately and quickly account for the space needed between the bit and chisel during set-up. Large work surfaces in the table and fence allow for more stability and accurate cuts. The new mortiser also includes a large hinged chuck door with magnetic catch. This unique element allows the user to easily access the drill chuck with the standard 4 in. chuck key to lock the bit in place. In addition, its rack and pinion allow for simple and quick fence adjustments.
