Overview

The TSM-22 clamps the stock, routs a 6 degree, low-angle pocket, and drills a pilot hole - all with a tap of the foot pedal - in a cycle time of just 1.5 to 2 seconds. Known for creating Castle’s pioneering, 6 degree, low-angle pocket, the TSM-20 series has a well-earned reputation for unsurpassed durability, ease of operation, and low maintenance.

The TSM-22 is the latest model in Castle’s vaunted TSM-20 series, the most widely used, and best-selling series of pedal-operated pocket cutting machines ever made. It is a clear favorite among professionals in cabinet making, furniture making, woodworking, and more.

Creating strong, stable joints is fast and easy with the TSM-22. Very little training is required and with a work deck that smoothly lifts, maintenance is hassle-free. The TSM-22 is PLC controlled for better performance and easier troubleshooting, uses standard 110V electric, and only requires minimal set-up upon delivery.

Use the TSM-22 with composites, panel, hard or soft wood.
