Overview
A cutting head driven by a motor and started with a push button carves the pocket for a mortise lock in this Virutex machine. The metal body is portable, and the kit lists the mortiser plus tool UT16I.
Door fitting and renovation work calls for a machine that makes neat, repeatable lock pockets in place, and this one is built for that. Power, cutting depth, cutter range and warranty are all missing, so confirm the capacity against your locks.
Who it's for
Professional joiners and installers who work on many doors get consistent lock pockets and a portable machine. Occasional DIY users and anyone fitting cylindrical locks should consider a simpler tool.
Pros and cons
- Made for mortise lock pockets
- Portable on site
- Push button control
- Tool UT16I included
- Heavy for a portable tool
- Motor power not listed
- Cutting depth unspecified
Performance notes
A mortising machine cuts a deep rectangular pocket, so the quality of the result depends on how firmly it is clamped to the door and how well the cutter suits the lock. Weight helps damp vibration but makes moving it around harder. Without cutter and depth data in the listing, the lock sizes it handles are unconfirmed.
