The motor enhancement to 4.5hp is an optional feature with this model.
The Platinum Series V-way Slot Mortis cuts slot mortises easily and precisely for a wide variety of projects. A slot mortizer is the latest in the mortizer machinery. It incorporates a router mounted on its side with a work piece set to a multi-axis sliding table. In this case, there is a 3-axis table which raises and lowers on the dovetail ways by an acme threaded rod for smooth operation. Then, the table glides on bearings for various dimensional adjustments. These adjustments increase the level of precision in the task. A 3hp powerful motor and a chunk capacity of 5/8 make this a treat to use. There is a steel frame which is very rigid and it is used as a storage compartment. Standard accessories include two position hold down clamp, dowel indexing accessory, reversible motor, miter gauge and hinged chuck guard. All in all, this is an excellent horizontal mortizer; probably the best on the market has got.
