Bench top x-y mortising machine #34-260 gives precision positioning of your work for boring mortises because of the sliding, x-y axis table. The front clamp pushes work against the cast iron rear fence, as well as acting as a hold down.
As others have stated in reviews I’ve read, the castings aren’t finished especially well and the machined surfaces are a touch rough. The advantages of this machine far outweigh the minor finish issues.
The ability to locate the workpiece with some precision puts this mortiser in a class by itself in this price range. The X-Y adjustments are smooth and the clamp for the workpiece is a plus. My Shop Fox mortiser lacks the features that make this machine stand out from other bench top mortisers.
Others have mentioned that the included chisels are not the best. A bit of polishing should help. All in all, this machine works well for my purposes—mostly sash making with soft woods. If I needed to cut 3/4” mortises in white oak I’d probably need to spend more money on a more powerful machine. Good value for the price.
Super machine for the price although a little underpowered. Very easy set up. Chisels are not of high quality and would easily pay a little more for higher quality. Over all I am very satisfied with this product and recommend it.
mortising chisels heavy machining marks. had to polish . lateral movement rough had to disassemble and clean and polish ways. and gibbs. machining left rough. works well after several
hours of finish work.
