How do I choose the right mortiser for woodworking?

Start with workpiece size, mortise depth, chisel sizes and how often you use the machine. For compact workshop use, NOVA MM13A Mortiser is a practical choice, while NOVA MM16 Mortiser offers a heavier build with cross-feed table and integrated clamping for repeatable work.

What is the difference between a chisel mortiser and a slot mortising module?

A chisel mortiser is a dedicated machine for square mortises, while a slot mortising module adds mortising capability to a compatible jointer/planer. For example, the slot mortising module for NOVA PT-260C, PT-310C and PT-310CH is intended for specific NOVA combination machines, so compatibility should be checked before ordering.

Which mortising chisels do I need?

Choose the chisel size according to the joint and timber thickness. Many users start with common sizes such as 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2"; compatible options are available in Mortising Chisel accessories , including Mortising Chisel 1/4” / 3/8” / 1/2” / 5/8” / 3/4” .

Machines are generally kept in stock, and only a few top-tier professional models are sold on request. Please check each product page for live stock status. Shipments are sent from Finland, and in-stock products are normally delivered in 2–4 business days depending on destination.

What warranty do mortising machines have?

The warranty is normally one year for mortising machines and modules. Always check the product details for the exact warranty period and any model-specific exceptions before ordering.

How should a mortising machine be maintained?

Keep the machine clean from chips and dust, use sharp chisels, check clamp and table adjustments regularly, and follow the maintenance instructions in the product manual. If service support is needed, NOVA service helps customers through the Seinäjoki store location.

Are spare parts available for mortisers?

Many spare parts are available directly from stock, and our staff can help identify the correct part for your machine. For normal use, it is also worth keeping suitable chisels from the mortising chisel selection available as wear items.

Accurate mortising for strong wood joints

A mortiser makes clean, repeatable mortises for traditional joinery, furniture making, frame work and workshop production. Compared with drilling and hand-cleaning each hole, a chisel mortiser saves time and helps keep the mortise straight, square and consistent.

The selection includes compact bench-style mortising machines, standalone machines for regular workshop use and slot mortising modules for compatible jointer/planer combination machines. This makes it easier to choose a solution that fits your workspace, workpiece size and production volume.

Choosing the right mortiser

For smaller workshops and occasional use, a compact mortiser with a 230 V motor is often the practical choice. Models such as the NOVA MM13A offer a space-saving footprint, adjustable depth stop and chisel compatibility for common mortising sizes.

For more frequent use, look for table movement, clamping, machine weight and adjustment range. A heavier machine with a cross-feed table and integrated clamp helps improve repeatability when making several identical mortises.

If you already use a compatible NOVA jointer/planer, a slot mortising module can be an efficient way to add mortising capability without buying a separate machine. Always check compatibility with your exact machine model before ordering.

Chisels, accessories and clean results

Mortising performance depends not only on the machine, but also on the chisel size, sharpness and correct setup. Common chisel sizes such as 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8" and 3/4" cover many furniture and frame-making tasks.

Good dust extraction, adequate lighting and accurate measuring tools help keep the work clean and repeatable. Compatible mortising chisels and workshop accessories are available so you can build a practical setup around the machine.
