hello,

I just got a HF el cheapo mortising machine for around $79 (on sale for $99
+ 20% off coupon) and it works like a charm (of course, I do not have any
comparison to check), but I am more than happy with it!

One of my projects for this summer is going to be to build 20 new doors
for the horse stalls I am also going to be building. The design of the
doors is pretty simple, two vertical stiles and three horizontal rails. I
would like to do mortise and tennon joints for strength, so this would
require 120 mortises to be cut. I am thinking that this more than
justifies $400 for a mortising machine (a single pre-made door can be
$250-$500, so it's easy to justify a machine).
