Review title: Good design, poor workmanship
Product review: Received my Delta mortiser today (for Christmas), will be returning it first thing Monday morning. The fit and finish is very poor. In assembly, the manufacturer stripped the socket of a set screw securing the depth stop. I cannot get it out to replace it with a new one.The shaft on the hold down is machined crooked and when you use it to hold down a board, one end touches the board, and the other end is approx 3/8" above the board. Overall, parts don't fit together very well at all.I made one cut with it using a 5/16" chisel, and it performed fair, considering the bits that came with the unit.I really hate this but it seems Delta is going the same direction with tool quality as Craftsman. Most of my stationary tools in my shop is Delta and I have been quite satisfied with them in the past.Like I say, I'm returning it Monday morning, and ordering the more expensive unit made by Powermatic. I'll be commenting on that unit when I receive it.
