Draper Morticer and Stand, 1", 750W

The Draper BM25/AABM25 is a professional-grade 750W bench morticer supplied complete with a dedicated floor stand, designed for woodworking workshops where accurate, repeatable mortice cutting is a regular production requirement. With a 1 inch (25.4mm) chisel capacity, 220mm maximum chisel stroke, multi-directional table movement, and fully adjustable work clamps and depth stops, it delivers the precision and consistency that hand morticing and router-based alternatives cannot match for volume work. Supplied with a 5/8" chisel and bit, three chisel bushes, a 16mm chuck and key, and fitted with a 2m cable and approved plug, the BM25/AABM25 arrives ready to cut mortices immediately.

Key Features

The BM25/AABM25 is built around a powerful induction motor running at 1,400 RPM — the smooth, consistent power delivery of an induction motor is particularly well suited to morticers, where the chisel and bit must drive cleanly through the workpiece without the speed fluctuation that can affect brushed motor alternatives under load. The 1 inch (25.4mm) maximum chisel capacity accommodates the full range of mortice chisel sizes used in furniture making, joinery, and structural woodwork, from fine cabinet mortices through to substantial joint slots in larger timber sections.

The 220mm maximum chisel stroke provides generous depth capacity for deep mortice cutting in thick timber, and the depth stops allow precise, repeatable depth setting across multiple workpieces — essential for production joinery where every mortice in a batch must be cut to exactly the same depth. The fully adjustable work clamps hold the workpiece securely throughout the cut, preventing movement that would compromise mortice accuracy or damage the chisel.

Multi-directional table movement is a key practical feature for a morticer used across a variety of workpiece sizes and joint positions. The 400 x 150mm table moves to allow the chisel to be positioned accurately relative to the workpiece, and the fence-to-chisel centre distance of 140mm accommodates a useful range of workpiece thicknesses and joint positions. The maximum clamping height of 200mm handles a practical range of timber sections, and the 300 x 450mm base provides a stable, rigid foundation for accurate cutting. At 108kg (machine only) the BM25/AABM25 is a substantial, vibration-free machine that stays precisely where it's set throughout the cutting operation.

The machine is supplied with a 5/8" chisel and bit for immediate use, along with 19mm, 13/16", and 13/16" chisel bushes to accommodate different chisel sizes, and a 16mm chuck and key. A no-volt switch prevents unexpected restart after power interruptions, and the 2m cable and approved plug provide straightforward mains connection.

Specifications

Who Is This Morticer For?

The BM25/AABM25 is designed for professional and serious amateur woodworkers, joiners, and furniture makers who cut mortice and tenon joints regularly and need a dedicated machine that delivers consistent, accurate results at speed. A bench morticer transforms mortice cutting from a time-consuming hand operation into a fast, repeatable machine process — indispensable for anyone producing furniture, doors, windows, staircases, or any joinery component where mortice and tenon joints are a core construction method. At 108kg with a dedicated floor stand, it is a permanent workshop installation rather than an occasional-use tool, suited to workshops where morticing forms a regular and significant part of the workload.

Why Choose the Draper BM25/AABM25?

The BM25/AABM25 makes its case on precision, capacity, and completeness. The 1 inch chisel capacity, 220mm stroke, and multi-directional table cover the full range of mortice sizes and timber dimensions encountered in professional joinery and furniture making. The depth stops and work clamps deliver the repeatability that production work demands — every mortice in a batch cut to the same depth and position without marking out or manual measurement for each one. The induction motor provides smooth, consistent cutting power that protects both the chisel and the workpiece, and the comprehensive supplied accessory set means the machine is ready to work from the moment it is installed. For any workshop where mortice and tenon joinery is a serious and regular activity, the Draper BM25/AABM25 is a capable, well-specified, and professionally equipped machine that justifies its place as a permanent workshop fixture.
