Reader Reviews
I purchased this attachment a couple months ago, and it has proven to be a real surprise. Since it is an inexpensive tool, with the more inexpensive chisels and bits included, I didn't expect it to be a precision tool, but it really does well. I have now used it to make mortises in red oak, white pine, and southern yellow pine, and am glad that I didn't spend more money than I did. The other reviewers are absolutely correct that set-up is time consuming, but for a hobbyist woodworker like me, it does the job efficiently, cheaply, and well. I would definitely purchase this item again. Comment | Permalink | (Report this)
