This TENAX manual mortiser is a used machine, ideal for carpenters, artisan workshops, and small businesses that need to make precise cuts, mortises, and recesses in wood with a sturdy and reliable structure. The typical build quality of TENAX machines makes this mortiser a very affordable choice for those looking for a good used machine that will operate without problems for many years.
The machine's compact dimensions— 80 cm wide , 80 cm deep , and 180 cm high —allow it to fit even in small spaces without sacrificing stability and precision. The 380-volt confirms that this is a professional machine designed for industrial and artisanal environments.
A manual mortiser like the TENAX is essential for creating structural joints, such as mortises for tenons, hardware seats, hinge housings, or load-bearing elements . It is particularly popular in workshops that work on doors, frames, windows, drawers, and solid wood structures.
The standard structure includes:
steel load-bearing column
worktop with guides or clamps
manual lever for moving the tool group
spindle or group for hollowing tools
mechanical protections
vertical and horizontal adjustments
380 V three-phase motor
The mechanical simplicity of TENAX is synonymous with reliability and durability over time.
Clamp the piece of wood to the work surface.
Adjust the depth and position of the recess to be made.
Turn on the engine at 380V.
Manually operate the lever to lower and guide the tool to the desired location.
Repeat to complete the mortise or recess.
The manual quarry allows for very precise control, also ideal for artisanal productions or unique pieces.
P must be proportional to the thickness of the workpiece:
P ≈ 0.4 × workpiece thickness
(for structural mortises)
L depends on the tool diameter:
L = tool diameter
For hard woods it is advisable to proceed in passes:
Maximum recommended removal: 3–5 mm per pass
These values guarantee clean and precise fitting.
TENAX can work without problems:
solid hardwood (oak, beech, walnut)
soft solid wood (fir, pine)
multilayer
blockboard
technical panels
It is perfect for furniture, fixtures, frames, structures and all professional joints.
Daily cleaning of the work area
Checking the condition of the tools (sharpening)
Lubrication of guides and sliding points
Checking the correct alignment of the tool assembly
Periodic check of the 380V motor
A manual mortiser requires little maintenance, but regular care ensures consistent accuracy.
A good used manual digger must have:
smooth flows
no excessive mechanical play
intact structure without rust through
380V motor working
