It is designed to guide the chain mortiser securely during heavy-duty timber mortising work, helping the user create accurate, repeatable mortices and grooves in beams, structural timber and carpentry components. With precise depth and distance setting, machined steel vertical guide rods, a side stop and pneumatic spring-assisted plunge and retraction, the GM 145 gives the CM 150 a more controlled and repeatable mortising setup for professional timber construction and joinery work.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003cstrong\u003eControlled mortising for heavy timber work\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eThe GM 145 is built for users who need clean, repeatable mortices rather than rough freehand chain mortising.
