After working in the Valley for a couple of weeks, I decided to spend some of my harder than I thought earned money to get a mortising machine. I settled on the DELTA 14-651 because of its Amazon reviews and price point ($289). I would’ve loved to get the Powermatic, but that would’ve taken another year to justify ($480).

Hello everyone.

Well I have decided to Change this. I figured, that a Woodworker is ONLY interested in a Few things.

You can access the Product Index by clicking on the VIEW PRODUCT INDEX button on the Reviews pages.
This is great way to see all of the reviewed products at glance and will make your product research more comfortab...

This came about from an article in woodsmith magazine. They did an article on cutting plywood, while working alone.
A gentleman in Maine saw the article, and felt the need to send them a letter...
