Overview
A benchtop in a woodworking shop is where this mortiser belongs, cutting square holes with a hollow chisel. It arrives with a chisel bushing, a chuck extension adaptor, a chuck key and an operating handle.
The benchtop format brings mortising to a small shop, and the five year warranty is a plus. The chisels themselves are not included, and the drill type field mislabels it.
Who it's for
A hobbyist or small shop cutting mortise and tenon joints on a benchtop machine will find the chuck parts and bushing included. Anyone needing the chisel in the box, or a drill press, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Cast iron and steel build
- Bushing, handle and chuck key included
- Five year warranty
- Chisels sold separately
- Drill type field mislabels it
- Heavy for a benchtop
Performance notes
A hollow chisel mortiser pushes a square chisel through the wood while a bit inside clears the waste. The motor speed and the chisel size set the cutting pace, and the cast iron body damps vibration.
