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.


I bought a Delta mortise machine a while back from Rockler. It was
backordered, and while waiting, I cut the mortises for the important
project another way. After the machine arrived, it sat for 4 months or so,
without being opened.

One of the guys in my woodworking club bought it for what I owned it for,
unopened. I've not missed it.

I did buy a LN mortise chisel, though. That gets used a lot.
