Review on 3/4 HP Heavy-Duty Shop Fox W1671 Mortising Machine by Shah Bell

I purchased this machine after receiving orders for several pieces of mission furniture. I grew tired of trying to cut mortises with my router. I have made several hundred mortises in white oak, cherry and white maple. I am very pleased with the machine.Pros:1. Arrived on time and undamaged.2. Setup and adjustment took only a couple of hours.3. Hold down is exceptional. I have had NO racking problems4. Plenty of power, it doesn't even groan a bit on 3/4 inch mortise 2 inches deep in white oak.5. Dual rods work very smooth.6. Easy to adjust handle, I can always set it for best stroke.Cons:1. Fiber board cutting base is a little cheap. I replaced it with solid red oak.2. The supplied chisel bit was so-so. I purchased a set from lee-valley (the ones from Japan) and they work exceptionally well.3. I would like a micro adjustment on the depth control rod.No question I would buy this machine again. Great value.
