G0645 Benchtop Mortising Machine
AssemblyMounting
Mount the mortising machine to a workbench
through the two holes in the base.
The strongest mounting option is a "Through
Mount" where holes are drilled all the way through
the workbench, and hex bolts, washers, and hex
nuts are used to secure the mortising machine to
the workbench.
Figure 6. Example of a through mount setup.
Figure 7. Example of a direct mount setup.
Another option for mounting is a "Direct Mount"
where the machine is simply secured to the work-
bench with a lag screw.

umn an additional 1

block is installed. If you do not want to install the
extension block, skip Steps 6-8
