Title: Built Like A Tank
Review: Well, I had to wait two weeks for the machine to finally ship (in spite of the "ships in 24 hours" assertation from Amazon), but it finally arrived. The box was broken on the corner, so I was afraid that I too would suffer the shipping disaster that has plagued too many who have purchased this machine. I guess I'm lucky, because the mortiser had no damage.Set up took less than 30 minutes, and it cuts nice, clean, straight mortises. A little tweaking to get it fine tuned, and it's ready to go. Easy to use, good manual, and heavy duty (by modern standards) construction. Overall, it's a great buy for the $200 price. Best machine for the money I've seen, especially after looking at the Shop Fox and others with wooden bases.If you have the patience to wait out the long shipping times, the guts to take a chance on it not being destroyed, and the need for a good mortiser at a great price, buy this thing. It will make a great addition to your shop.
