Wadkin Bursgreen

Fully Refurbished Wadkin DM/V Vibrating Chisel Mortiser

  • Chosen By List:
    • List Item: Joinery shops needing dependable mortising capacity without the outlay of a new machine
    • List Item: Workshops producing door frames, windows, or furniture where clean, accurate mortises are a regular requirement
    • List Item: Businesses that want a proven British-made machine with a known refurbishment history rather than an unknown used purchase
  • This Product List:
    • List Item: You need a dedicated chisel mortiser for regular production of mortise joints in door frames, windows, or furniture components
    • List Item: Your workshop has a confirmed three-phase supply and you want a proven, refurbished British machine at a used-machine price point
    • List Item: You want to view the machine running before committing — something not always possible with other used machine purchases
    • List Item: You are replacing an ageing mortiser and want like-for-like capability with a known refurbishment behind it
  • Alternate List:
    • List Item: You do not have three-phase power — discuss alternative mortising options with IWM, as this machine cannot be converted easily
    • List Item: Your mortising requirement is occasional rather than production-level — a smaller benchtop mortiser may be more appropriate for your volume
    • List Item: You need chisel sizes larger than 25 mm — talk to IWM about heavier-duty mortiser options in the current range that can accommodate larger section work
    • List Item: You are looking for a new machine with full warranty and current CE documentation rather than a refurbished unit
  • Key Specifications:
    • Specification Name: Timber Capacity, Specification Value: 250 × 200 mm
    • Specification Name: Max Chisel Size, Specification Value: 25 mm (1")
    • Specification Name: Longitudinal Table Travel, Specification Value: 480 mm, Specification Notes: This determines the maximum length of mortise run achievable in a single pass without repositioning the workpiece.
    • Specification Name: Motor, Specification Value: 1.5 kW (2 HP) — 415 V, 3-phase, 50 Hz, Specification Notes: Requires a three-phase supply — confirm availability at your premises before enquiring, as single-phase conversion is not straightforward on this class of machine.
  • Full Specifications:
    • Specification Name: Timber Capacity, Specification Value: 250 × 200 mm
    • Specification Name: Maximum Chisel Capacity, Specification Value: 25 mm (1")
    • Specification Name: Table Size, Specification Value: 560 × 150 mm, Specification Notes: A long, narrow table configuration — well suited to joinery sections; check your largest typical workpiece overhangs comfortably.
    • Specification Name: Longitudinal Table Movement, Specification Value: 480 mm, Specification Notes: This determines the maximum length of mortise run achievable in a single pass without repositioning the workpiece.
    • Specification Name: Lateral Table Movement, Specification Value: 100 mm
    • Specification Name: Stroke of Chisel Head, Specification Value: 170 mm
    • Specification Name: Spindle Speed, Specification Value: 3,000 rpm
    • Specification Name: Motor Power, Specification Value: 1.5 kW (2 HP)
    • Specification Name: Electrical Supply, Specification Value: 415 V, 3-phase, 50 Hz, Specification Notes: Confirm three-phase supply is available at your site before ordering — this machine cannot be run on a standard single-phase domestic or light-commercial supply.
    • Specification Name: Machine Weight, Specification Value: 303 kg, Specification Notes: At 303 kg, floor loading is unlikely to be a concern in a typical workshop, but worth confirming if the machine is to be sited on a mezzanine or raised floor.
    • Specification Name: Overall Dimensions (L × W × H), Specification Value: 860 × 740 × 1,550 mm, Specification Notes: Allow additional clearance around all sides for operator access and workpiece feed — particularly longitudinal clearance to the left and right of the table travel.
    • Specification Name: Noise Level, Specification Value: >85 dB(A) under load, Specification Notes: Above 85 dB(A) triggers mandatory hearing protection requirements under UK noise at work regulations — acoustic treatment of the area and/or adequate PPE should be planned for.
    • Specification Name: Condition, Specification Value: Fully refurbished — available to view running, Specification Notes: IWM recommend viewing this machine in operation before specifying — this can be arranged on request.

Wadkin Bursgreen

Wadkin Bursgreen is a legendary name in British woodworking machinery manufacturing, with roots going back to the nineteenth century and a catalogue of machines that defined workshop practice across the UK timber and joinery trade for generations. The brand has been associated with heavy, precise, long-lived production machinery — planers, tenoners, routers, and bandsaws built to industrial standards. IWM has a long connection with the Wadkin heritage, and we can advise customers on their current offerings as well as supporting those running legacy Wadkin equipment.
