I’m loving my Ryobi morticer, and it makes light work of cutting mortices in green Oak. One point to be aware of is that the bottom of the cuts are round as opposed to flat with a standard morticer.

[@swsfrancais7289]

"Turney-turney Slidey-slidey". I love these technical terms!! Thanks for a great video.

[@ottiturek3156]

nice tool. look at german mortiser, called " maffell". i am work´s with this tool for ca. 45 Years , 80 % oak. Good chraftman, well done. Many greetings from germany from an old master-carpenter

[@icespeckledhens]

In my day we had two choices for mortices, either an old Reynolds manual morticer, from the Victorian era, or a chisel and a mallet!!! Certainly chain morticers are mobile, quick and accurate. A good demonstration, thanks

[@bluethunder1951]

To prevent tear out turn the mortiser around so its not on the up side of the chain.

Thanks a lot for showing taping editing uploading and sharing.

[@NathanNostaw]

Very handy machine. That chain looks like new.

[@francisbarnett]

+AKA Nathan this is the original chain as far as I know, I bought this one from a lock fitting company, it was immaculate when I got it. Thanks for watching.

[@NathanNostaw]

+Francis Barnett Looks so well made, shame Ryobi isn't know for quality these days though.

[@willemkossen]

Thats a beast. Never seen a machine like that!

[@francisbarnett]

+Willem Kossen Cheers Willem, I think the design has been discontinued, its a bit like a portable timber milling machine. Thanks for watching.

[@TheShavingWoodWorkshop]

These are really great machines,

[@francisbarnett]

+The ShavingWood Workshop There awesome, most on the market are the Makita model.

[@TheShavingWoodWorkshop]

They are nice to have, the one I have used was a Makita.

[@kirstymctear5030]

Just a quick question… what size file do you use to sharpen your chain?

[@rickdeckard6861]

Hi francis and thank tou for your demo ! I just bought this machine but i am asking myself how the chain is lubrificated ... Do you still have the instruction manual? i can't find it anywhere on the net. Thank you again !

[@alexchapman6048]

Hey I bought the Makita morticer and am working with green heart. It just bites and kicks really bad and makes a mess not sure if it is just the timber is so dense or what?????

[@BeyondHomeCooking]

Interesting machine. So the Ryobi is different from my Makita chain mortiser. But now I really wish that I had waited until I could afford the Mafell Chain mortiser. The interesting thing about my makita, is the chain pivots into three preset points, that are stopped by machine screw.

[@francisbarnett]

I'm sure the makita is a great tool, a mate told me his had fallen out the back of his van and the tool survived the impact with minimal damage. The Mayfel is a different machine in quality and price. Cheers for watching Gareth.

[@BeyondHomeCooking]

Well that Roybi looks pretty skoocum to me, I like that crank side to side action. Very nice.

[@BeyondHomeCooking]

So have you seen this bad boy from the people at Bosch, looks like they are trying to re-invigorate their SKIL brand. www.toolsofthetrade.net/saws/skilsaw-sawsquatch-wormdrive_o.aspx

[@TheRealMrLaserCutter]

What sort of tolerances do we need to work to when making a mortise and tenon like this. Cheers Gavin

[@francisbarnett]

+CNC Scotland other side of a tight pencil line, that should give you a good start before fitting the frame.

[@Roadsaftyslowdown]

Yes unfortunately TTI Industries Hong Kong killed the quality of Ryobi and took the DIY route. As for the chain tear out your tool is centred, so turn the tool around 180° so the chains cutting down at both ends of the mortise to avoid any tear out.

[@francisbarnett]

Its imperative that the tool is clamped to the face of the timber, this is to keep the mortice parallel to the leading edge. As the timber isn't regularised or square the joint wouldn't fit if you turned the tool around. Its sad that the good tool manufactures have gone down that route. Thanks for your comment.

[@fitrianhidayat]

Hold on, if you turn it 180°, wouldn't the cutting edge be directed to your face?

[@baldybain]

Hi, I was fortunate enough to pick one of these machines at auction - my question is do you have a link on how to sharpen the chain?

[@kevinscudamore2711]

Hi did you ever find out how to sharpen the chain thanks

[@baldybain]

@@kevinscudamore2711 Hi, i never found out, i also haven’t had the chance to use it properly yet. Moving house has killed plans for many years 😂

[@srikailaseswarawoodfurnitu3025]

How to buy that product

[@johannes.f.r.]

Would be nice if you could rotate the saw to where you're cross cutting instead of ripping, probably would lessen the tear out.

[@LJVS]

Du bon boulot !!

[@francisbarnett]

+LJVS (laurentjacquetvidéoshow) Merci beaucoup

[@LJVS]

merci a vous !! Vous êtes français ? Vous avez l'air de bien maîtriser la charpente, moi aussi j'adore ça ! continuer comme ça surtout !

[@francisbarnett]

+LJVS (laurentjacquetvidéoshow) Mon français est encore assez pauvre, je reçois par des bases tout en Im travaillant sur ma maison française (Charroux). Je Subbed votre chaîne espérant améliorer mon français.

[@LJVS]

super ! j'adore aussi vos vidéos ! Amitiés sincères

[@TheSpinaczRingwel]

What model is that?

[@kirstymctear5030]

Looks like a CM-31. Picked on up a while ago.

[@alanfalleur6550]

It's like a hollow chisel mortiser but with a chainsaw! O.o Holy crap! Considering how expensive the Makita one is at least, I think I'd rather have a big hollow chisel mortiser, but it seems that can cut much deeper than any hollow chisel mortiser. Of course, the portability is great. Can't exactly take a 500 pound hollow chisel mortiser to a job site.

[@francisbarnett]

+Alan Falleur you got it, its portable, and very time efficient, great tool that pays for its self when building big frames.

[@budhiobing2698]

How to order makita mortiser i need dealer mobile some one help me

[@MAYANPLASTIC]

mortise saw name pleaae . thanks

[@alvin75mancuso50]

Fantastic

[@francisbarnett]

+Alberto mancuso many thanks

[@turboxcarbon]

It looks good for making deep holes through but for me I don't find it worthy of buying just to make such job. Its just feels like a waste of money and time as it's hard to deal with because it's so bulky.. Anyway it's just my opinion nothing more and I would prefer a router or a Chelsie mortiser.

[@francisbarnett]

+turboxcarbon if you have a big frame you can't beet a chain mortiser, for the time it will save.

[@nick4819]

To avoid the tear out on the edge...don't jam it in there next time. Next time ease it down and slowly cut until you get a couple inches in.

[@joeschlotthauer840]

Has to be an old tool, because Ryobi is a disposable tool today...

[@oggojusadaiah3196]

I want that. Ha

[@WastedFrom1976]

Ryobi never made good industrial tools, they have always been cheap/DIY.
