Which Morticer?...

[Alf]

Are they still based on the Stanley 750??

Good question. I don't know - did Stanley produce a socket mortise chisel? Essentially they seem to be identical to the bench chisels, but with big beefy mortising blades. (Well, duh

)

Cheers, Alf

thanks for the advice....i tihnk i will downgrade from one of the ones i was looking at..to a bench one probably...because upon pondering seriously i realise that i would'nt actually get that much use out of it :roll:

So a smaller one is in the picture now..in this case i wouldn't be wasting too much money ..any advice on one of the smaller machines?

Ta, Tom

ps. The chisels are lovely Alf :shock:

Thom, I have a record mortiser and I would not recommend it at all.If I were in the market for a mortiser I would seriously consider the Trend jig,it looks simple to set up,is versatile and neat in operation

Hi
GWW did indeed review a range of bench morticers. Their 'Best on Test' was the Fox F14-651 at £170. There were a number of other machines varying in price and performance each with pro's and con's. The Charnwood W310 seemed to do well as did the Jet JB5 with price's at £139 and £199 repectively. Don't know if your looking for a bench morticer but thought i would summarise to try and help.

Certainly do, i have it with me. It's Issue 155. It should still be on sale as the new issue does not come out until November 24th.
