Die Set Gm 145

Extra Information

• The GM 145 is an accessory for the Festool CM 150 chain mortiser.
• It is intended for mortising applications using compatible mortise chain sets.
• The guide stand supports mortise chain sets from 100 - 150 mm long for the CM 150.
• The lateral fence is variably adjustable from 5 - 150 mm.
• The system is especially useful where several identical mortices or grooves need to be created accurately.
• This product is the guide frame / die set accessory and does not include the CM 150 chain mortiser itself.

Features

• Guide frame construction Provides stable support and guidance for the CM 150 chain mortiser.
• Precision guide rods Machined steel vertical guide rods assist with accurate plunge and retraction movement.
• Integrated gas spring support Helps make plunge cutting and retraction smoother and safer.
• Adjustable depth setting Allows mortising depth to be controlled for repeatable results.
• Adjustable side stop Helps maintain consistent mortise positioning from the workpiece edge.
• Easy machine mounting Designed for straightforward mounting of the chain mortiser.
• Mortise chain compatibility Suitable for use with 100 - 150 mm long mortise chain sets for the CM 150.

Benefits

• More accurate mortices: The guide frame helps control plunge movement and workpiece positioning for cleaner, more consistent mortising.
• Better repeatability: Depth and side-stop settings make it easier to produce several matching mortices or grooves.
• Improved control: Pneumatic spring support and steel guide rods help the machine move smoothly during plunge and retraction.
• Professional timber framing support: Ideal for users working with beams, structural timber and heavy carpentry joints.
• Safer handling: A guided setup helps reduce the instability and guesswork of unsupported chain mortising.

Application

• Mortising with the Festool CM 150 chain mortiser.
• Creating mortices in beams and structural timber.
• Producing repeat mortices for timber framing work.
• Creating grooves or recesses where controlled plunge guidance is required.
• Setting consistent mortising depths and distances.
• Carpentry, roof truss work, timber construction and renovation applications.
• Professional on-site and workshop timber joint preparation.

Safety

• Wear suitable eye, ear, hand and dust protection when mortising timber.
• Use only with the compatible Festool CM 150 chain mortiser and suitable mortise chain sets.
• Make sure the chain mortiser is correctly mounted and secured to the guide frame before use.
• Check that the depth stop and side stop are firmly set before starting the cut.
• Secure the timber properly so it cannot move during the mortising operation.
• Keep hands clear of the chain, guide bar and mortise opening at all times.
• Do not force the chain mortiser into the timber; use controlled plunge movement.
• Allow the chain to stop completely before lifting, repositioning or adjusting the tool.
• Disconnect the machine from power before fitting, removing, adjusting or cleaning the guide frame.
• Inspect the chain, guide bar, stops and guide rods before use and do not operate damaged equipment.
