Title: WoodWorkers Beware!
Review: I learned a lot from this mortising machine. Like, how to uninstall the chisel and bit to remove the wood chips jammed in them. Of course, removing the chisel and bit ruins all your squaring efforts and you have to square everything again. And I learned to put a gorilla twist on the chuck in order to keep the bit from falling out of the chuck whilst you mortise away. I learned how to swing on a handle in order to get enough force to cut into the wood (Oh, yes, the chisels are honed and very sharp). I learned to cut my fingers when changing out the chisels or having to bang on the top of the drill auger bit to get it out of the chisel when it jams with wood chips, or more often wood CHIP.I don't have any problem with the actual quality of this albatross. It is heavy, roughly finished, and everything squares...again and again. But I now use a router or more often a drill press and a hand chisel.
Is the review positive or negative?
