“For me the WoodRat

Mortises
& Tenons Without The Hassle
The
'Rat is both a Mortiser and a Tenoner. Because
there's no machine bed, Mortises can be carefully
placed in all kinds of awkward pieces. Add the
PlungeBar (sold separately) and you can easily
plunge a row of neat holes and then track the
wood to make a slot mortise. A simple shop-made
Mortise Rail holds the wood horizontal across
the machine. Or, you can opt for the Aluminium
Mortise Rail with added features.
Tenons
are a WoodRat specialty, deep, square and breakout
free. The 'Rats manual powerfeed gives the wood
to the cutter on the down-cut, giving a perfect
edge to every joint. The size of tenon is set
using simple stops so accuracy and repeatability
are assured. Forget, M&T jigs, Router Tables
and Band Saws, the 'Rat wins hands down.
