Griggio Slot Mortiser – Manuals – Help
AlanTurner
| Posted in Power Tools and Machinery on
I am the new owner of a 1980 or so Griggio Horizontal Slot Mortiser. I have no instruction manual with this, and no experience. So, I took up to the new shop my set of Allen wrenches, only to discover that to remove the end mill, I need a square drive, which to my bad eyesight seemed to be a 7mm size.
I could sure use a contact, or manual, or advice, on this guy, and any help would be appreciated. Google did not turn up much.
Thanks.

We have a Griggio slot mortiser in our shop and the chuck takes allen wrenches. You could always modify something by grinding it to fit the 7 mm wrench hole. We don't have a manual for ours as it was bought used but it's a pretty basic machine.
http://users.uniserve.com/~kristech/welcome.htm sells Griggio and might be of some help. Don't expect much of a guide on how to use it if you do find one. Congratulations on your great new tool. Slot mortisers are one of the least appreciated machines out there. We use HSS endmills, two flutes designed for machining aluminum. No need to use the extra expense of carbide. It will mill hundreds of slots before getting dull and sharptening them is pretty inexpensive.
