Different New Machines Used In Modern Sash Window Joinery Methods

By Julian Burgess


Traditionalists and old school craftsmen have utilized machines for sash window joinery ever since the 1930s and have preferred using these archaic machines in all their woodworking projects. It is true that period machinery utilized in woodworking is still the default brand of choice to those who instill pride in their delicate woodworking techniques. Modern technology has now paved the way to new and modern sash window joinery methods that are employed by expert craftsmen and woodworking mills in creating the best designs and ensuring maximum quality. For the new age woodworks expert, there is no substitute when it comes to increasing productivity while still maintaining the same degree of expertise in their projects.

Heavy machines are now being replaced by more compact and lighter models to better facilitate production and reduce costs. Modern metallurgy and engineering techniques now feature state of the art hollow chisel mortisers powered by sturdy and efficient low horsepower engines.

Mortisers are now equipped with the latest breakthroughs in advanced engineering and have features that deliver smooth and linear performance. Equally impressive is the use of efficient and powerful engines with drill chucks that grasp all your mortising chisels for economical performance. The standard equipped handheld wheel controls allows hassle free cross table motions in each and every job.

The same goes true for modern dovetail machines that employ equally powerful and efficient power plants to cut dovetails used in drawers, doors and elaborate window designs. The machines are equipped with router spindles that facilitate dovetails with an adjustable height.

Ask any experienced craftsman or mill worker and most will tell you that joining used to be a slow and difficult process. High powered biscuit joiners are now used by mills in producing fine cut mortisers with a flawless consistency.

The art and science of joining will further be enhanced by the use of joiners with pre fabricated tenons. Joinery used to be a slow and tedious process but powered biscuit joiners will give you expertly cut and flawless mortisers each and every time. This wonderful tool is now pretty common even among traditional woodworkers and mills as this enables them to forego the traditional and difficult way of joining without any due sacrifice to the projected results.

Machines are created with a simple purpose and this is to make things easier and faster while increasing workshop productivity. Technology has constantly given us ways to better cope with the challenges of design and construction.
