Mortiser
Traditional hollow chisel
mortising with the
scheppach hcm 25.
World wide demand for a
scheppach chisel mortiser
has led to the introduction
of the new hcm 25.
The main headstock, table
and vertical column are
solid cast iron resulting
in a stable, vibration free
mortise machine. Precision
machined castings
operating on a dovetail
slide principle ensure
smooth, controlled movement.
Complete with a steel
cabinet floor stand with
storage facility, the hcm 25
mortiser offers unbeatable
value for money without a
compromise on quality.

motor, the machine
is capable of mortising
up to 25 mm (1 inch) in
soft woods and 20 mm

Statement in
Practical Woodworking
The hcm 25 has a lot
going for it, including
the wooden facing on
the table, the effective
length and depth stops,
and the hold-down
clamps which come into
their own when working
on larger timbers and
deeper mortises. The
way the handle can
be readily adjusted is
another plus. Overall, a
welldesigned and solidly
constructed machine,
built to last.
