In the left hand corner of the page folks, weighing in at only 37.4 pounds and packing a plunge depth of 6-1/2 inches is the fiercest looking tool known to mankind. It is the Makita 7104L Chain Saw Mortiser. This powerful plunge cutter packs a punch with a 12 amp motor and a razor sharp chain to quickly notch or cut holes for timber framing and log home building. It has a large adjustable vise with a clamp tension lever for latching firmly onto logs anywhere from 3-1/8" to 12-1/8" thick. It also boasts a sliding rear clamp that is adjustable to the desired width with a quick adjust tension knob. It has a built-in carrying handle for portability and externally accessible carbon brushes for easy serviceability.

This mean machine is portable, fast, flexible and razor sharp. At $1330, it doesn't come cheap, but it's not for everyone.
