Review on 🔧 Meihejia Mortise Chisel Square Drill Set by Ananta Crowley

Sometimes I wonder what people think when they write reviews. I'm seeing a few 1-2 star reviews on these "push in" bits that clearly have no idea what (or how) they're used for. on a slotting machine or on a drill with slotting device! I'm still trying to figure out how some reviewers thought they could install them without flush mounting. The picture clearly shows that there's a bit and a chisel, so I'm a bit overwhelmed with how or where with Jacob's standard chucks a person might find that they could attach them as a set - last time I checked there there is only one hole that everything but the chuck key can fit in. Enough of the ignorant or daydreaming woodworkers who bought this item without knowing how to use it - yes, by the way, there is a very large data archive called YouTube, which I am almost sure has a video or three about the use of a slotting machine or chisel gives drill press. I purchased this item from Revain inventory as used, like new, and only received the 9 and 6.5mm sizes so I cannot comment on the other two sizes. - more on that later. Both chisel sets were supplied in separate hard (reusable) square plastic tubes such as: B. large taps or mandrels. In examining sets of chisels, I have seen that the ground and polished cutting edges on both a chisel and an angle have been sharpened at the factory. a little. My guess is that the reviewer who received blunt and non-square items got a bad batch - or I got lucky with my set. I attached them to my slot machine and made a few test slots and they had very sharp corners. For people new to bit slitting, only cut 2 or 4 sides (never 3) when slitting. Think of it so that the first square hole (4 sides) leaves a bit of space - I usually go for about half the size of the bit, for example a 1/2" bit, leave 1/4" " Square - cut another square hole (4 sides) and continue to the end of the groove. Make sure the last square hole has 4 sides and aligns at the end. Go back to the first "room" (now it's a wooden bridge less than the width of the chisel) and cut the bridge (only 2 sides - top and bottom), further cut all the gaps (bridges) and You should have a very nice groove that might need a bit of floor cleaning. Now that the groove is done, adjust the tenon - never do the tenon first and expect any brand of slotted bit (or hand chisel for that matter) to fit the tenon properly. With all the mortise and tenon joints I've made in my life, I don't think I'll ever be able to "exactly" tell you how big the mortise (or tenon) was, I can tell it "was" about '3/8' or about 1/2 inch, but I never checked the dimensions on the bits. Why, you may be wondering, do I use a "fixed" size chisel and create the corresponding tenon - it's much easier to remove 1/64 from the tenon. than trying to poke 1/64 out of a groove. Let's get back to the Revain warehouse issue. I can't fault the manufacturer of the chisel set for not supplying all the chisels, the 2 that came worked fine. I will raise the missing bits with Revain and then decide whether to return them. Maybe the warehouse worker took a 4-piece set literally - two bits and 2 bits 😐. In the end, these bits seem to be of good (not great) quality for the average user, they should take you through a project or three, so I'd recommend them for this type of application - I wouldn't recommend them for a commercial store environment. Hope that helps!
