Shop Fox Heavy Duty Mortising machine will hog though the wood. Has plenty of power. Precision machine with lots of features. I rated this 4 stars out of 5 due to the stops. The side to side stops need some improvement. They will loosen up and move if your doing several board with same measurements.
