Clear, concise information on set-up and use of a benchtop mortiser. Very useful to me.

Very clear and useful video. No dwelling on the obvious.

Very good video, was of great help to me.

I had my first experience today on a mortising machine which I recently purchased.

Three mortising chisels were supplied with the machine.

The end of the auger bit is larger than the square chisel, so the auger bit can't retract.

So I didn't have allow for a spacer.

I applied the information from your video to set up the cutting, and am glad to say that it turned out perfectly. A nice straight square cut.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for this. I just set up my ShopFox and heard some squealing from the bit. Wasn't sure if that was normal and found this video. It's normal, although I don't remember the larger floor model that I used a while back doing this.

Do you find that you need a longer lead on the bit for harder woods? I did a test on some cherry and it seemed to work better that way.

Very good explaination of how the tool works and the set up. Good tips as well. Maybe one of these day I will invest in one. For now I can deram. Thanks for the video.

Chris,

This hit the spot. I'm starting to look for a Mortise Machine and wasn't sure how they worked. This was just what I was looking for.
