Ideal uses
Perfect for cabinetry, furniture frames, drawer fronts, and frame-and-panel projects where strong, square mortises are essential. The 8 mm size is a versatile option for mid-sized joinery in both hobbyist builds and professional projects, delivering consistent mortise walls and clean glue lines.
How it fits into your workflow
