Product Description
TSM-30 Series Pocket Cutter Machines
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.

Hooked on Castle Machines.
We have been in business for 16 years and started out with[competitor]. I ran into Castle at a trade show and really liked the equipment and team at the booth. Once I purchased the TSM-35 and experienced the quality of machine, pockets it cuts and service the Castle team provides, I was hooked! After many years, I am still using the TSM-35 (just purchased 3 more) and have begun to incorporate several Castle assembly tables along with the CSI 1.5D Pocket Cutter/Screw Inserter Machine.
