Jet 719A Mortiser

The Jet 719A is an industrial mortising machine designed for professional woodworkers and precision woodcraft applications. Manufactured by Jet Tools, this floor-standing mortiser has been developed as a professional-grade tool, engineered to meet the needs of woodworking professionals who require precise and efficient mortising capabilities.

At the heart of the Jet 719A is a 1.3 kW motor that enables woodworkers to create mortises up to 25 mm wide with accuracy and consistency. Its heavy-duty cast iron construction provides stability and reduces vibration, while the MDF-topped table ensures a smooth working surface. The design includes a hydraulic piston that balances the engine and chuck weight, creating smooth up and down movement that enhances operational precision.

One of the most distinctive features of the Jet 719A is its versatility. The head can rotate 180 degrees, allowing for specialized operations such as door lock mortising without complicated handling. This flexibility is complemented by a comprehensive set of features including dovetail slideways, adjustable stops, and an integrated storage base. The machine comes equipped with multiple drilling bushes (15.8, 19, 20.6, and 46 mm) and a 13 mm chuck.

The Jet 719A features an accurate length stop for mass production, allowing woodworkers to create consistent mortises across multiple workpieces. The table's two-axis movement—controlled by separate wheels for longitudinal and traverse motion—enables intricate positioning and reproducible results. With a maximum workpiece height of 195 mm and the ability to create mortises up to 25 mm wide, this machine is equally suited to fine furniture making and more industrial-scale woodworking projects.
