Features

The Powermatic 719T isn't just a mortiser; it's a high-tech joint building lab.

The table can also move left to right and forward and backward on dovetail ways with the large hand wheel controls. Adjustable linear stops and a flip-down stop allow for precise repetition. The quick-adjust clamp provides plenty of work-holding force and swivels to accommodate angled work pieces. The heavy enclosed steel cabinet provides plenty of storage inside for chisels and accessories. It's backed by a five-year limited warranty.

This mortiser is easy to set up, very accurate and has a lot of power. Included with the mortiser is an extension if you choose to use another brand of chisel & bit. (Powermatic chisels are about 2" longer than most other brands.) I used this tool most often in making blind mortises on face fronts. When finished, the joint requires little hand work to clean out the bottom of the mortise.

The only improvement that Powermatic could do is to make adjusting the angle on a bevelled mortise easier. Though the gauge is accurate, you have to hold the cast iron table in position while tightening the locking nut.

First of all, I'm an old-school, professional furnituremaker. I'm pretty fast with a drill press and a couple Sorby mortising chisels.

This mortiser is exquisite. For the money it's a huge leap forward in my shop, easily slated to pay for itself within a month. The table's movement, after backing off the factory squeeze on the dovetail gibs a bit, is butter. The side travel end stops could be stronger and easier to get at but they're head and shoulders ahead of the General International mortiser I looked over recently.

The thing will mortise a 10" tall (wide) piece!

Many details are thoughtfully and successfully worked out, and this tool has come a long way since my furnituremaking friend's Powermatic was made (maybe 10 years old). Clear and easy access to the chuck, excellent quick release part clamp, excellent adjustable pull handle, excellent moving table.

Thanks for reading this. If you're on the fence and shopping for a mortiser, buy this one yesterday. You will love it and it will move your work forward.

I recently had the chance to use this floor standing mortiser at a trade show and could not be more impressed. I've demo'd benchtop models of the Delta 651, the General, the Powermatic, and the Steel. Though adequate, the benchtop mortisers works well. But if you really want ease of operation, great wood clamping, big lever arms (ease of work), and the capacity to roll through 3/4" mortises, then this machine is unreal. 1.1K is alot to pay for a mortiser, but if you have the cash.....and do a good deal of M&T joinery, you need to check out this machine.
