Review on 3/4 HP Heavy-Duty Shop Fox W1671 Mortising Machine by Aaron Romero

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Speed of motor is too fast - burns up bits

I went for this given the 3/4 vs 1/2 HP motor, but should have paid more attention to the speed. Mortising bits are prone to overheating, and they should be run much slower than the 3450 fixed RPM of this motor. I wish I had researched it more before I bought.

Pros
  • The machine's compact design makes it easy to store without taking up too much space in a crowded workspace
Cons
  • Inadequate torque for tougher jobs
