Thought I'd share a pic of my new toy. It's a Delta 14-651 Mortiser. It seems like a nice little machine. I unpacked it and had it set up fairly quickly. It seems to make a good mortise, but the mortise does have to be cleaned up slightly with a chisel.I'm not sure if this normal, or I need to replace or sharpen the chisel(s)
I bought this to do the M&T joints on the remaining library bookcases and shelves for LOML, in addition to making the library door.
I enclosed a pic of the "machine" it will replace, my home built router mortiser.
I'd appreciate any tips or advice anyone has to share on the use of the mortiser, my learning curve needs to be very steep.
