FAQ:

Q: Are mortising machines worth it?

A: It’s one of those tools most hobbyists and commercial shops can do without, like the radial arm saw. A slot mortising machine is a great tool to have, but if you want something that is even better, get a small milling machine. It will do mortises and a heck of a lot more.

Q: How to set up and use a mortising machine?

A: A motor,much like that found on a drill press,drives a chuck or spindle fitted with a hollow mortising chisel. … As the motor rotates the spindle,a handle plunges the chisel into the wood. … The square sides of the chisel then remove the rest,so with one plunge motion you make a perfectly square hole.

Q: Can mortising bits be used in a drill press?

A: Mortising in the drill press with a simple wood drill bit. So we can use a drill press as a mortiser machine and we don’t need a hollow chisel mortiser or a chain mortiser. But both a hollow chisel mortiser and a chain mortiser are craftsman tools that would do a better job. See full answer.
