Developed for professional timber mortising, it produces a 30 mm mortice and supports cutting depths of up to 125 mm when used in the correct Festool chain cutter assembly. Its \u003cstrong\u003epitch type B\u003c\/strong\u003e geometry is designed to deliver finer routing results, making it particularly suitable for accurate joinery and structural timber applications where the quality and definition of the mortice are important. The chain is used for creating and chiselling mortices in solid timber for carpentry, joinery, timber-frame and half-timbered construction. Rather than replacing the complete cutter assembly when the chain eventually becomes dull, the MC-CM chain can be professionally resharpened several times, helping extend its useful working life when correctly tensioned, lubricated and maintained.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003cstrong\u003eA dedicated replacement chain – not the complete cutter set\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eThe MC-CM 30x30x125 B is the \u003cstrong\u003ecutting chain only\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Together these components form the complete mortising cutter. As the chain enters the timber, its cutters remove material progressively to produce the required mortice. For accurate operation, the chain, sword and sprocket must all be correctly matched and in serviceable condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003cstrong\u003eWhy resharpening is worthwhile\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eA mortising chain is a precision cutting component rather than a disposable accessory. Provided the chain is not damaged or excessively worn, its cutting edges can be professionally restored several times. This helps preserve cutting performance while maximising the useful life of a relatively specialised professional accessory.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003cstrong\u003eLubrication is part of normal chain maintenance\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eFestool's chain mortiser operating guidance calls for regular lubrication of the cutting assembly during use and again after work.
