TSM-30 series Pocket Cutter Machine

Overview

TSM-30 series features heavy duty construction throughout, with easy, top-down access for quick tooling changes. Designed for continuous or multi-shift production in a broad variety of woodworking manufacturing environments, the TSM-30 Series Pocket Cutters are available in three different voltage options:

• TSM-31 Single Phase 230V
• TSM-35 Three Phase 230V
• TSM-35 Three Phase 460V

Each cuts the patented, 6 degree, low-angle Castle pocket.

Powerful and extremely durable induction motors drive the pocket cutting spindle and all models use a high-torque, heavy-duty air motor - specifically designed for Castle - to drive the pilot bit. Both operations - pocket cutting and pilot hole drilling - are completed in a single cycle.

Adjustable indexing stops are built into the top for quick part transitions during high production shifts. A favorite among cabinet, furniture, mobile home, RV manufacturers and more, these premier woodworking shop tools can produce more than a quarter million pockets per month for years on end with minimal maintenance.

Features and Benefits Include:

• Cuts the 6 degree low-angle Castle pocket, for strong, stable, tight, and superior joints – even in ½” material!
• Designed for high-capacity, continuous production joinery for maximum throughput of parts and components
• Low-angle 6 degree pockets minimize the need for clamping during assembly
• Cuts pocket and pilot hole in a single cycle, increasing throughput and decreasing material damage and waste
