    This press has worked like a charm for my projects th-cam.com/users/postUgkxajoEbapTfqWaadnqb04h6U576yxXp-FE . I didn't even secure it to my table top, mainly due to the fact that I was using a 15 lbs drill vise. It's not flimsy at all as to what others have claimed it to be. Make sure the locking nuts and levers are secured and there won't be any issues with light pressure and patience. I was able to drill through aluminum, plastic, and steel (steel took a while) with no problems at all. Yeah it took a little longer than a regular drill press, but I don't have the space OR the money for one.The instruction manual was worthless, but luckily assembling the press was intuitive. However, the manual would be good for ordering replacement parts if needed. There is a nice breakdown of the parts that are included in the kit. Before ordering, make sure it is compatible with your unit, it is clearly stated what models the press is compatible with.This was an excellent purchase for $40!!

    In 2 other videos I watched they stressed that you should not chisel into 3 sides at once, only 4 or 2. Your technique is causing the chisel to move toward the open side and could bend your chisel.

    The mortising machine is a luxury. Developed skill using a mortising chisel and wood mallet is very satisfying, too. I use through-tenons as often as possible, so chiseling is still part of the process. In the end...... whatever keeps a person off the couch and in the shop--- that is the superior technique. I know many who have a greater shop than I........

    Good one Jon! Not owning a Mortising machine, I use an appropriate sized drill bit to hog out most of the material first. Then follow up with a mallet & chisel to define the edges. This takes a bit longer but works out in the end..................... :)

    How many amps is your machine pushing for the 3/8” to work nicely and what would you want, power wise, to use a 1/2” or even an 1” mortise?

    Great video, very informative! I need to drill a couple of holes in a very specific location on a fixed piece, which would require me to have to use a hand drill. Can I use this bit with a hand drill?

  • @CameraEd1
    @CameraEd1 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hi Jon,
    Sorry for the newbie questions, but I have never used a machine like this before. It looks as if there is a drill bit inside the square hollow chisel, and that the machine is more or less a modified drill press. So what cuts the corners of the square hole? Is it the strength of the operator pressing down on the lever? How often do you have to sharpen the chisel? And how do you do that? Isn't the beveled blade surface on the inside of the chisel? Do you have a special stone to sharpen it?

    • @JonPetersArtHome
      @JonPetersArtHome  5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Hi Ed , I’ll post a more detailed video soon

    • @mikemorgan5015
      @mikemorgan5015 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes brute force cuts the side walls square. Mortising machines have much more leverage than your normal shop drill press. I use ceramic abrasive ball or cone stones of the correct size to sharpen them. They can be chucked into a drill or die grinder. There may be some Dremel stones that will work too. VERY quick and easy to sharpen this way. Never sharpen the outside of the chisel. If you do, it will quickly wedge itself into your next workpiece. You won't be able to cut to full depth and the chisel will be nearly impossible to extract. But to work properly, they MUST be extremely sharp.

  • @mikeweckesser4450
    @mikeweckesser4450 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    This may be wishful thinking but is there anything (a bit or some sort) out there that does this job that would connect to a drill press??? i know I can take a bit or forstner bit and take out the bulk and then come back with a chisel and square it all up. Just didnt know if there was a square style "bit" that could be used.

    • @JonPetersArtHome

    • @billqqq

      I have an old atlas drillpress, and a mortising attachment that works in exactly the same way as a dedicated machine. I believe they are available for other makes, as well.

  • @ralphpezda6523
    @ralphpezda6523 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    The chisel must be square to the fence. I had a problem with a certain chisel turning slightly while under use, resulting in cuts that were not in line. I took my chisels to a grinding shop and had flats ground in the attachment ends parallel to one of the flats at the cutting ends. The lock screw now tightens against the flat ground spot and the chisels no longer twist even slightly under load. Cutting one or two holes didn't mean much but the problem arose with use. Mortising machines like the one shown takes practice. Good cuts don't magically appear out of the air just because you used the machine, and chisels get dull with use. "Good cuts" with mortising chisels will never be as clean as those made with a plunge router. Don't be shocked when that happens since in tbe end they are covered ip.
    This next point is not the object of the video, but it is worth mentioning. Far too often we level a table or radial saw top without paying any attention to the base. You MUST level the base to your floor first, then level the top. Failing to do it is a common problem that appears when your compound cuts aren't exactly as "compound" as you intended to make them. They don't line up and you wonder why. It's difficult to conceptualize but that's how it works.
    Good video.

  • @g.m.forsythe9626
    @g.m.forsythe9626 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Question from a newbie.....If the mortise is centered, why not simply swap the leg end-for-end instead of moving the fence?

    • @jamesmcinnis208
      @jamesmcinnis208 ปีที่แล้ว

      I wondered the same thing, and why he drew arrows limiting which faces of the piece (in this instance, the leg) he positioned against the fence. Flipping over the leg would mean placing a "no arrow" face of the piece against the fence, but I don't understand why that would be a problem.
