This has been put into service in my little shop and I’m very pleased with it. There was some play in the xy table that I took out by loosening the sliders and tapping them inwards, but there’s quite a lot of backlash in the up-down lever, mainly where it passes through the pinion.
I can almost live with it, but it might be a nice rainy Sunday project to sort it. Has anyone fixed this and how?
I had some trouble ploughing drawer and door grooves due to some wild grained larch. So I used the mortiser to start the grooves by making lots of shallow cuts, and it worked very well. It got me thinking: what other things can I do with the machine? Square hole patterns/inlays? Square tenon pegs? Cutting tenons?
In others words, what have people on here used their mortiser for other than straightforward mortices? And is it mortice or mortise?!
