mortising machines

the company wants my vocational woodshop program to start making tables and chairs for the residential segment. to that end, im looking at investing in a heavy duty mortising machine. theyre willing to pay for it, so budget isnt much of a concern.

i was looking at the powermatic 719C, but was wondering if anyone knew of a better one. also, opinions of the ones you have used. im not looking for a benchtop model, so lets leave those out.

uses will be for oak, hickory, and ashe furniture, from chairs to beds. i have a feeling that we will be supplying all the furniture for residential in the near future.

also, ive never used a floor model, just a benchtop. so let me know what i should be looking at.

thanks
Michael
