Fully Refurbished Wadkin DM/V Vibrating Chisel Mortiser

  • Joinery shops needing dependable mortising capacity without the outlay of a new machine

Key specification considerations

Timber Capacity
250 × 200 mm
Max Chisel Size
25 mm (1")
Longitudinal Table Travel
480 mm
This determines the maximum length of mortise run achievable in a single pass without repositioning the workpiece.
Motor
1.5 kW (2 HP) — 415 V, 3-phase, 50 Hz
Requires a three-phase supply — confirm availability at your premises before enquiring, as single-phase conversion is not straightforward on this class of machine.

SpecificationValueNotes
Timber Capacity
250 × 200 mm
Maximum Chisel Capacity
25 mm (1")
Table Size
560 × 150 mm
A long, narrow table configuration — well suited to joinery sections; check your largest typical workpiece overhangs comfortably.
Longitudinal Table Movement
480 mm
This determines the maximum length of mortise run achievable in a single pass without repositioning the workpiece.
Lateral Table Movement
100 mm
Stroke of Chisel Head
170 mm
Spindle Speed
3,000 rpm
Motor Power
1.5 kW (2 HP)
Electrical Supply
415 V, 3-phase, 50 Hz
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.
Machine Weight
303 kg
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.
Overall Dimensions (L × W × H)
860 × 740 × 1,550 mm
Allow additional clearance around all sides for operator access and workpiece feed — particularly longitudinal clearance to the left and right of the table travel.
Noise Level
>85 dB(A) under load
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.
Condition
Fully refurbished — available to view running
IWM recommend viewing this machine in operation before specifying — this can be arranged on request.

Is this the right
machine for you?

Choose the Fully Refurbished Wadkin DM/V Vibrating Chisel Mortiser if...

  • You need a dedicated chisel mortiser for regular production of mortise joints in door frames, windows, or furniture components
  • Your workshop has a confirmed three-phase supply and you want a proven, refurbished British machine at a used-machine price point
  • You want to view the machine running before committing — something not always possible with other used machine purchases
  • You are replacing an ageing mortiser and want like-for-like capability with a known refurbishment behind it

Consider an alternate model if...

  • You do not have three-phase power — discuss alternative mortising options with IWM, as this machine cannot be converted easily
  • Your mortising requirement is occasional rather than production-level — a smaller benchtop mortiser may be more appropriate for your volume
  • 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
  • You are looking for a new machine with full warranty and current CE documentation rather than a refurbished unit
