mortise chisel for cordless drill

[flying haggis]

I can see a lot of on site chippies buying this

 

[mudman]

Thing is, I couldn't see it being used in that clip. I may well be wrong as I have very limited experience of powered morticers, but that seemed to be showing the big morticing machines cutting the mortices.

 

[flying haggis]

you are right i didnt spot that

 

[Phil Pascoe]

I have a small Rexon morticer. As good a little machine it is it's a pig to push into oak and the like - you wouldn't have a hope in hell of doing it with a hand held drill.

mortice chisels are relatively inexpensive, and I haven't yet found the gospel that says you cannot hit them with a hammer. Of course they will never fit into a mortice chiselholder

BUT the tiny points will splay as it's hammered in, so a few taps and you have to stone them flush again

Too many taps, the splayed points are gonna lock the mortice bit into the wood.

In my mind, and from past experience, a hand drill is difficult to use enough force to push the mortice chisel into the wood,

Total and utter nonsense
My mortiser has a 28" long solid steel handle for pushing the chisel through the wood. It's just not going to happen with a handheld drill with a little bracket on it.

Is it 1st of April already ?

 

[Phil Pascoe]

My first thought as well.

No.

It's like a lot of the stuff you see on YouTube videos.
A load of complete and utter.

The hand drill version is only shown for the first few frames and then all the rest are in bench or freestanding machines so the the performance is suspect. However I could see it possibly working if a hammer drill was used rather than the usual drill. Keeping the drill aligned while doing it would be a challenge for most people that can barely drill a perpendicular hole at the best of times. It would have to be made of the best materials and pretty beefy to handle the forces of a hammer drill too.

No, The hammer in hammer drill is for the bit NOT the chisel. It would be just as useless, only louder.

You're right. I didn't think it through.

All said above, but I seem to remember something akin to a square mortise type point chisel thing being available for SDS.
This has to be 20 years ago, but i cant remember where i saw it. It sticks in the back dark recesses of my mind it was an axminster book. But it seems sure a ridiculous concept it couldnt have been.

Maybe it was a practical joke type of article.
Years ago there was a bike tyre manufacturer. In fact this is the article(Note its the April edition)

The tyre wasn't actually a tyre, but rather a pic of one of those soap holders you used to see in the 70's so it stuck to the soap, and you could then stick the soap to the tiles.
People fell for it. I think I was one of them

I think you may be talking about a square metal broach for a hammer drill, those are real

No it was deffo a hollow mortise chisel.
But I agree, what the circumstance of it was, it was probably some sort of set up prank. I doubt we'll ever know for sure

Unless of course someone here with both a morticer and an sds wants you give it a whirl

 

[ChaiLatte]

Notwithstanding the above comments, which are focussing on how to push the tool into the wood, how often do you make a square mortice that requires driving the chisel in once only?

A mortice normally involves multiple insertions of the chisel in a regular grid pattern. With the device shown, even if you could drive it into the wood once, lining up the second and subsequent ones would be next to impossible.

 

[spanner48]

How about drilling normal round holes - to the correct size, but slightly deeper than needed [to cope with frass] - at either end of the desired mortice. Then finish it off with a morticer?

 

[Doug71]

Looks really useful, you can just clamp it around the chuck.......
