I bought the Delta benchtop mortiser about a month ago, tried a few 1/4 inchers and was satisfied that all was ok.
Fast forward. Today I had a real project. Four M&T flat paneled doors (roughly 72 x 24). Poplar R&S w/1/4 oak ply panels - paint storage cabinet for the workshop.
Anyhow, I get to mortise #6 on stile #2 and the damn bit snaps. This is crap for sure & I guess I should have known better than to expect more when the bit set is 'free' with the machine.
My question is how do the Delta "professional" chisels/bits compare to this? I would like to get a good set from somewhere, so if someone could recommend another set, I would appreciate it.
Thanks!
