Sash-mor′tis-ing ma-chine′.
(Wood-working.) A machine for forming mortises in stiles and rails of doors, sash, and other small work. In that illustrated, the chisel-holder is reciprocated by pitman connection with a crank on a wheel driven by pulley and belting. The chiselbar a is reversed by a slight movement of the treadle b, and the bed c may be adjusted to mortise at any desired angle, and is raised or lowered by turning the crank d, to determine the depth of cut on work of any dimension within its capacity.
