I am a relative novice, but really enjoy woodworking and more specifically making mission style tables and such. Working in redoak 100% of the time, and until now using biscutes, dowels and screws for join pieces together. I am looking now for a benchtop mortiser (already bought LV set) and looking between Powermatic 710 and Steel City machine mostly based on reviews of all units that I have seen.
Anyone have experience with either, and /or any known pros and cons or thoughts about other machines that I should be looking at? Pricepoint of around 400 is not a problem, not sure if I could justify going above that.
Thanking you in advance
