Default Do mortising attachments for drill presses work?

I just got a LN 12" Delta at an auction for $80.

Ebay has a mortising attachment locally. Do they work, or are they just
aggravation?
I have never actually made a motise, so it is hard to say how many I will be
doing.


I think the drill press attachment is not worth the aggravation.

I bought a Jet mortising machine with high hopes that I'd start using
M/T.. In the end though, I hardly use it.. Most of what I do is plywood
cabinents with face frames, and pocket screws are so much easier and
faster.

Before you buy anything, think about the projects that you will
actually use it on. My mortise machine and Tenon Table saw jig collect
a lot of dust.
