time savings in alignment of bit and espeacially mortising. Cuts time by
1/2 or more.. The 6 inch is possibly too large, I can mortise to the cenetr of 2
3/4 stock. Next time I would buy the 4 or 5 inch.and maybe get more clearance to get more capacity.
Hollow chiser sharpener work well. VERY slight diiference in cone taper vs chisel inside taper. I am using the cheap hollow chisels that came with my delta and there is a significant improvement.
More reviews of new and newish tools to come if any interest, let me know.
