�Drill� Perfectly Square Holes and Slots for Mortise-and-Tenon Joints, Hinges and More with the Shopsmith Hollow Chisel Mortising Attachment

Hollow Chisel Mortising Beats Two-Step Mortising Hands-Down for Speed, Precision and Finished Appearance. There are four primary methods for cutting mortises. From complex-to-simple, these are: 1: Cut them completely with a chisel. Great if you have "forever" to do the job! 2: Bore most of the waste out with a drill bit and square-up the corners & sides of the with a chisel. 3: Rout away most of the waste, then square-up the corners & sides with a chisel. 4: Use the Shopsmith hollow chisel mortising System and you're done in one step!

Years ago, hollow chisel mortising faded in popularity and ended-up being replaced by router-based slot mortising. Well, it didn't take long for woodworkers to figure out that hollow-chisel mortising was a lot faster and easier. As a result, people returned to the system that was the best for many years.

Here's how this tool works. Install your Mortising Attachment over the outside of your quill and tighten the screw. Next install your drill chuck on your MARK?7 or Mark V spindle. Insert the Mortising Chisel of your choice with matching Mortising Bit into the opposite end of the attachment and tighten a setscrew and then tighten the bit in your drill chuck. Position your workpiece against your rip fence, install the hold-down and go to work!

The attachment holds the chisel to keep it from rotating while your drill chuck holds and spins the mortising bit that rides inside the chisel. As you lower the set into your wood, the bit removes most of the waste while the chisel's sharp edges square-shave the sides of the mortise flat and smooth. The special hold-down attaches to the top of your rip fence to keep your workpiece from lifting off the table surface when you retract the chisel.

BUNDLE & SAVE

Tenons are usually 1/3 the thickness of the mating stock and centered. (3/4" stock = 1/4" tenon). The mortise should be about 3/4 the width of the mating stock. For blind joints, the tenon should be a bit shorter than the mortise depth, to allow room for glue. (4" wide stock = 1 7/16" long tenon).
