Mortiser recommendations

[wrinkly1]

Hi all,

First post on here so have a little pity,

I'm looking to buy a bench top mortiser have been scouring the tool suppliers and the Charnwood W310 http://www.diytools.co.uk/diy/Main/sp-1 ... egoryID1=9] caught my eye, does anyone have one, love it, hate it, or would you recommend one in the price range.

TIA

Regards Bob

hi Bob, Welcome to the forum...

cant say anything about your choice of mortiser, but I own this one from Axminster http://www.axminster.co.uk/product-Axminster-AW16BMST-Bench-Morticer-577195.htm

good little machine, and rated light trade as opposed to Charnwoods offering of a DIY rating, and the Axi version less dosh too.

you only get one chisel I know , but chances are the freebies with the Charnwood are cheap nasty things that will produce poor results anyway, better to buy a couple of decent chisels with the extra cash.

HTH
