picked up a woodtek mortiser today. other than a lot of dust a broken switch and some scratched paint it was in new condition. 1 hp 3450 rpm with 3/4 and 1/2" bits and chisels. the 3/4" chisel was never used and the 1/2" chisel showed no ware at all. the original owner had lost the key to the switch and instead of spending a couple dollars to get a new key tried to us a screwdriver to start it. in the process he broke the switch. so it sat on a shelf for over a year. this is the
395 dollar model from woodworkers supply. got it for 75 bucks!!!! ordered a switch this afternoon for 16 dollars and change. total cost $91.02. i hot wired it to see if it worked. very smooth and quiet. i'm just starting to set up my new shop so i think this may add some class to the place! lol..... :-}
