In the following photo I am chiselling out the remaining waste for the top half of a new sharpening stone box. The principles are not that different to preparing a stopped mortise and tenon fit. The ready made tenon is being represented by the sharpening stone.

But... but.... Forstner bits in a drill press aren't neander!Originally Posted by Stewie Simpson
That's exactly what I'd do in the same situation, just having a cheap laugh.

Drill presses are ideal for removing waste in mortises. Set the depth of entry and your on target every time. The brace & bit should be reclassified as ultra stone age.

I would drill and then pare, if going for quietness. You'll get smooth walls, too, which is ideal.
Here's a good video of a mortise pairing jig.

Excellent tip by Salko on the Oz forum on using a forstner bit in a brace. Forstner bits are the best for morticing as they can overlap. I tried this, and it works a treat ....

Broken link. Do you mean this?
One miniscule nitpick from the video: It would be a bit hard for someone to have come up with that trick a "few hundred years back" when you consider that the Forstner was invented in 1874 :-)
His trick reminded me me of these bargain-priced doodads :-)
