With the project comming up I think it's about time I invested in a morticer. So what kind of a mortice machine do ya'll have ?
I have the Delta, but I don't think I'd buy another. It's OK, but lacks some of the goodies like a better clamping system, self aligning fence, and a table that moves in the X and Y axis.With the project comming up I think it's about time I invested in a morticer.

This one's on sale, but it's big. The moving table thing might be hard to find on a small machine. I seem to remember seeing one advertised, but can't remember where.
IIRC the Shop Fox got some pretty good press a year or two ago in one of the WW mags.I have this one:

I've been real happy with it. IMHO. it was the most beef for the buck when I bought it a couple years ago. There were better ones (the General comes to mind) but they were quite a bit more money than I could buy the Shop Fox for locally.
