Product Description
Shop Fox®; introduces the King of benchtop mortisers. This rugged high-quality machine has all the features found in the best mortisers made, with none of their faults. The super heavy-duty fence and hold down eliminates unwanted wood movement and "sticking chisels", an all too common complaint, thus ensuring accurate and fast operation. The unique swiveling base allows easy off the bench operations and opens new possibilities for custom mortises. The precision 1/2" chuck eliminates the need to modify chisels and bits, and the extra capacity allows the use of larger stock. The all-steel quick-adjust depth stop is easy to set and provides a positive stop. With features like a 22" long solid steel quick-positioning handle, 8-tool holder, easy two-door chuck access, large base and twin hardened and ground column insures perfect mortises every time. ? Mortise to the center of a 8" wide board ? Mortise lumber to 8-3/4" thick ? Aluminum finned 3/4 H.P. 3450 R.P.M. motor for years of trouble free service ? Heavy cast iron construction ? Includes 5/8" and 3/4" chisel sleeves ? Shipping weight approx. 94 lbs. Patent Pending

85 of 86 people found the following review helpful:  Very good machine, By KRASSEL (SPANAWAY, WA USA) - See all my reviews First of all, make sure to read the manual completely before assembly or attempting your first mortise. This includes the little sidebars and warning captions. Especially the one about cutting sequence. I found the manual to be pretty complete and informative, apperantly they have upgraded it since the last reviewer got his machine. I also found the fit and finish to be very good, without the burrs and misshaped screw heads previously reported. After reading the manual, I set the machine up with the 1/2 chisel set and did some practice mortising in a couple of 2x4's.The large door opening makes bit/chisel changes easy, even if you have large hands. There is a learning curve involved in getting the drill bit set correctly in relationship to the chisel head.

This review is from: Shop Fox W1671 3/4 HP Heavy-duty Mortising Machine (Tools & Home Improvement) I bought this machine to replace my JBM-5 Jet Mortiser. The promise of a beefier machine with a 1/2" chuck (vs. 3/8" for the Jet) was what attracted me to the Shop Fox. I received it yesterday, and spent a couple of hours assembling it and making some test mortises. Below follows my list of pros and cons.
Pros: 1) First and foremost, this machine offers great value in a mortiser. This made-in-China mortiser is a lower cost option than its Taiwan-made competitors such as Jet and Delta. $247 including shipping is hard to beat. 2) Beefier than either of the above mentioned machines. More iron in the casting. Dual columns. Weighs 87 lbs assembled. The fence and base are much more substantial than the Jet. The substantial, adjustable handle offers more mechanical force advantage over my Jet. 3) 3/4 HP motor running at 3450rpm, vs 1/2 HP 1725rpm on the above-mentioned competitors. 4) 6 1/2"+ capacity from bit to column (fence removed) 4" with...Read more 15 of 15 people found the following review helpful: Beats a drill press attachment hands down., By OHtoolman (a carpenter from Marysville OH USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Shop Fox W1671 3/4 HP Heavy-duty Mortising Machine (Tools & Home Improvement) I upgraded from a drill press attachment to this machine a few years back. Happened to get it on sale locally pretty cheap and have absolutely no regrets whatsoever. It'll cut mortices easily without fuss provided it has a sharp chisel and bit. The machine is solid, heavy, and adequately powered. In fact, it's first task was to cut many 1/2" mortices in 10/4 White Oak to build my workbench base and it went very well. My only complaint (reason for 4 stars) is I absolutely didn't like the cheapo particle board table and immediately replaced it with a table and hold downs sold by Rockler (another $40 and highly recommended, BTW) I chose this machine above the others mostly because of it's feel. It felt more substantial, the longer handle felt right, the quill was fairly easily accesible for bigger fingers and the action traveled smoothly on the gas strut. I like the on-board bit/tool storage, but I've accumulated enough accesories now that I have a drawer dedicated to storage for...Read more |
