Chainsaw Mortiser

[The avantgardener]

I am looking for a chainsaw mortiser to make Sweet Chestnut post and rail fencing. They seem to have disappeared from most of the usual outlets, does anyone know of someone still supplying them or have one that is surplus to requirements?

I am not looking for a chain mortiser, I am looking for the type with a frame to hold the post and the guide bar attachment on the saw to do the mortises. Thanks in advance.

Must be able to knock something up with ground steel round bar n bushes , n threaded bar ? Loads of clever brackets on ebay.  Making a silky sharpener fr my chain grinder tool with such stuff. K

There is a very simple gadget on YouTube/eBay from Oz, but pricey for what it is though.

@The avantgardener  I would get a pic of yr desired mortiser ( operating principle )  n see if it can be copied of, off the shelf bits.  K

In fact - if you bolted it to the guide bar studs instead of the angle iron, you could go full depth )

Bit gash finish but am sure you could do better.  K
