Castle TSM-30 Series Pocket Cutter Machines

Designed for continuous production in cabinet manufacturing, furniture plants, mobile home factories, and more, the TSM-30 Series Pocket Cutters are available in three different voltage options: 220V Single Phase, 230V Three Phase, and 460V Three Phase. Each cuts the patented, six-degree, Castle low-angle pocket. TSM-30s are extremely well-suited for multi-shift production in a broad variety of woodworking manufacturing environments.

Heavy duty induction motors drive the pocket cutting spindles: the TSM-31 uses a 220V, single phase induction motor and the TSM-35 models use three phase induction motors in either 230V or 460V. 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.

TSM-30 series feature heavy duty construction throughout, with easy, top-down access for quick tooling changes. Adjustable indexing stops are built into the top for quick part transitions during high production shifts. These premier woodworking shop tools can produce more than a quarter million pockets per month for years on end with minimal maintenance.
