This is an ideal ' how to' video. Before seeing this video, I didn't have a clue how to cut a mortise, now, with some practice I tink I'll get it done. Thanks for leaving this video here on YT.

Dad had one of those and we never had a chance for me to learn how he used it. The gentlemen in the video explained it all very well. The kit i have dates back to the early 1950's and goes on an old press drill that works perfectly 70 years later ( it's an old old Delta ). Ill definitely use the knowledge and make a few runs of it. Thank you for explaining. Good day. Thanks again.

This is the best of the mortising attachment videos. Good tips, e.g., attaching the fence to a piece of wood instead of the table. I just bought a kit from Grizzly and read the poor instruction sheet. Was scratching my head until I saw this. Many thanks.

One note. You must square the chisel with the workpiece or you will get a jagged sided mortise. I’ve been using one of these on a Delta 16” drill press for 27 years. Works great.

Very clearly explained - thank you. I have always been sceptical about buying a morticing attachment tool but after watching this video I believe I am better equipped to make a decision. For example I will measure the diameter of my drill press sliding vertical tube to be sure that I buy something that can be fitted to my Bosch PB40 drill press. Bracing the table top by fitting an adjustable strut underneath is something that I never thought about.

Not sure why people hate these mortising attachments for the drill press so much. Maybe if you don't have a stout drill press or something? I have a heavy duty 20 inch industrial model and the attachment works great on that. I love them, they work good and they are fast. I don't mind chopping mortises by hand but it you have a lot of them to do then these work great. I love the tip about using a board instead of using the holding clamps, that is a slick idea and I am going to use it. I also love the idea of mounting it to it's own board, but I already did that one. I tried using a friends dedicated mortising machine but I found that it is limited in it's capacity when dealing with thick or oddly shaped stock. This is where I find these drill press attachments are more versatile, nice that they are much cheaper to boot. Thanks for the great tutorial.

I strongly recommend you identify which shims you need for your drill press and using a wire wheel in your Dremel and remove any coating from each surface. Then wipe each component thoroughly with Acetone to remove any oil or machining lubricant. Same for your drill press quill. My biggest problem is the shim sliding up the quill or movement between the shim and the adapter. Mine still does not work well. It just works.

Just watched a video a couple days ago of a guy complaining that these kits were junk and that he's just tossed three of them in the woods over the past few years. But he never explained why they were junk. I guess he thought he was the alpha and omega of woodworking and I was just supposed to praise his word as gospel. After watching this video, I tend to think he was just too lazy or incompetent to do the proper setup. Or maybe he thought the chisel was all you needed to do the job. Who knows. Anyhow, this video taught me two things: 1) Mortising attachments do work if you use the kit as intended and set it up properly. 2) Unless you only plan to make one or two mortises a year a dedicated mortising machine is worth the money compared to these attachments. Yes, this did work. But the setup time is absurd. And it ties up the drill press so you can't use it for other tasks. I'd say it was great for occasional use when you just need to knock out a couple mortises on a project but I would not buy it if I planned to regularly do mortising.

Can't you accomplish basically the same thing with a set of end mills? Given you won't have the nice squared ends but you could cut in a slot? Sorry for the silly question but just got my press & looking for accessories & feel that one can use end mill bits for this. Thanks in advance.
@barker498689 жыл бұрын
You can, but only for a blind mortise and tenon joint. A through joint would show the crisp tenon sides in an oblong mortise. You also need to keep in mind a mortise and tenon joint is designed to be a very snug fit, something you can't get by putting a "round peg in a rectangular hole". The other option would be to either square the mortise with a hand chisel (very difficult to keep it perpendicular to the sides), or ease the corners of the tenon (also very difficult to match the already rounded sides of an end mill cut tenon). You could always use a router table to ease the tenon sides to match the mortise (a 1/2" mortise would require a 1/4" radius router bit, but you would still need to hand finish the tenon ends at the inner edge to allow the tenon to fully engage the mortise. Your idea is workable but very time consuming and easy to muck up. If you're planning on using this type of joint on a regular basis, start hitting up estate and garage sales that advertise woodworking equipment You'll eventually get lucky and find what you need. It sounds like you're just getting started in woodworking so remember two things: there's no such thing as a silly question and unless you hit the lottery, we all started small and worked our way up.

How I plan on doing it set a fence drill out about a dozen plus holes then run the stock linearly against the fence to clear and clean it up. when possible cut your rails with a coping/radius bit with a bearing resaw either a full rail off or make floating ten on stock out of it. if you want square ended buy the atachment kit keep the chisels toss the mortising attachment. Simple mouse, simple trap.

It's also easier to keep ² seeing you actually only have one axis to worry about which is your distance to center which can be either set with a bit or a 1/2/3 block or something similar. Fence doesn't event need to be square do set it by ergonomics clamp it down swing your table in till your index touches the bit.
