I'm planning on getting a mortising attachment for the dp (I know, I
know, a dedicated machine is better, but I don't have money or space
right now). Anyway, I've read in the archives here that a good-quality
chisel makes a big difference in this application. I was wondering if
anyone has used the LV "Premium Hollow Mortise Chisels & Bits"
Let me know.
Thanks,

For what it's worth I took the plunge a couple of years ago and bought
the Delta Bechtop Mortiser,the newer model with the big heavy cast iron
base ,and I love it. I probably don't use it nearly enough to justify
having it, but it sure makes mortises a breeze. And as has been noted
above by the time you buy the attachment and some good chisels you are
most of the way to the price of that delta benchtop. I haven't looked
lately but it was about $200 the last time I looked. Hope that helps.
