Oh now I see. I drilled a hole for the shank to fit in and the slot is only wide enough for the chisel to be turned sideways to come out. Maybe if you make
the opening in the front piece to be wider ah deeper dado would make them come out easier? just guessing other wise yours looks real nice.

Ah yes I agree with Dusty on this one. When I looked at the string of chisels my first thought was "no guard=falling chisels" I keep mine in the wooden box they came in. they lay flat and I never get cut until I begin using them:D:mad: Jim

A counterbore for the bottom of the handles to nest into will 'fix' the falling problem.fjimp wrote:Ah yes I agree with Dusty on this one.

I am missing two of my 1/4" to 2" stanley no 60 set.
The one I 'loaned out' has been replaced with a buck bro.
I keep hoping the other one will show up someday!
I keep them edges shielded & in a box in a drawer.

Notches are O.K. If you would do a counter bore to allow the tang, or sloped portion of the handle to lock into the hole, they won't fall or slip out.

Talk about highjacking a thread.
I guess the thing I found interesting about the moritse mill was the price $69. In the past I believe this would have been priced a lot higher, perhaps not.
I have a full Stanley set of chisels, they are my beaters I have a nice set of wood handled Marples in pouch in the drawer with my gentlemans saw, fret saw, brass backed saw and etc.

If it were not for high jin...jacks, we would all know much less.

So back to the jig.
It is on sale for what looks to be a fair price. From the video it looks like it would do the job.
It seems to have only one size, I guess on wider piece you could make two mortises or more.
The function of doing the back and forth to clean out the hole has me a bit apprehensive, I've done that will drill bits before and wasn't very impressed with the result. True I did not have a bushing for control so maybe that makes all the difference?
The drill bit has a lot for shank and only twisted for a short distance, most likely the dept of the cut into the wood. This means you will have a close fit for the cuts between the holes. That seems like a reasonable idea. It also means you will want to get a second bit for back up in case something goes wrong or if excessive wear happens.
Being a tool junkie I'd get one if I had the funds for it just to see how well it would do. Nothing like have the tool in hand to test it.
BTW so far I'm seeing bench chisels and not mortising chisels.... don't make me go out to my cold shop to take pictures. Actually you mostly need them for deep mortises but then you all knew that from going off topic, right?

good, but limited use
Being a BIG fan of slip tenons I like this product - Mortise Mill - except that it seems to cut mortises of one size with a limited length. It is nice that you can use a drill since the side forces are generated by the mill and not on the drill bearings. Better, put your plunge router bit in.
And the advice to cut your tenons a little shorter than the mortise is sound practice as I have discovered. That way the rounded ends are not an issue, there is adjustability and strength is retained.
For one or two mortise/tenon joints maybe an overkill, but for many m/t joints you can make your on slip tenons in a long length and cut to size.
Thru tenons obviously need a chisel, but do you do that many?
Got to check it out. Thanks, Ed!
