I just finished Mortising all the joints for a Southern Huntboard Table. I was able to complete this process in two hours. Using a hammer and chisel would have taken me days. This tool did all that I expected it to do. I did break the 1/4 inch bit within 10 minutes of use and had to order another.

This review is based off of the market this was designed for. This machine does not compare to the professional machines designed for that particular market.Overall it performs as expected. Good weight ratio and heavy duty components. Power is adequate for what it was designed for. Star rating was chosen as follows: minus one due to the fact I cannot find better quality mortising bits or replacement bits for it. The ones it comes with are not square. The drill bit tip “circle” extrudes from the square bit so you will not get a perfect square. Not an issue if your tenon joint has a shoulder but will be noticeable if doing decorative thru tenons. If you could find better aftermarket bits that fit that size boss then they could’ve kept that star. Minus one more star for not being able to square up the bit to the project without taking a long time. I know it’s not designed for assembly line work but there’s no way to get a true squareness. Again, not an issue with shoulders that hide most imperfections. The base plate ledge is also too high. You will need spacers under your project in order to have the hold down forks work properly when cutting thinner materials. That in turn compromises the squareness of the project. Now if your ingenuitive there are ways around it but this review isn’t based off of the user’s abilities. For as many times that I’m going to use this tool (3-4 per year give or take) it was a good purchase. I can work around the base plate deal. But replacement bits I cannot.

great tool, I like the spring feature on table. it’s not your high dollar unit, but still does a great job, beats making them by hand or drill press and chisel. If you make a lot of mortise’s this is a great tool for the price.
