I bought a set of those bits without knowing it needs an adapter. The attachment is REALLY expensive. Finding your video was a small miracle that will save me almost 200$. Thanks!
I have looked at mortising attachments online and I don't want to lay out 100 or 150 bucks on something I won't use that often. This is a great home made tool. As soon as it warms up outside I'll be getting back in my unheated shop to make one. Thanks a lot.
You cannot guess how much I needed this adaptor. My brother found a mortising bit on sale. He bought it without an attachment. I'll definately build this even if I don't use it soon. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Beirut
Muito bacana ficou excelente seu projeto é uma ótima apresentação e muito boa à demonstração e é uma ferramenta muito útil obrigado VALEU mesmo de verdade
Great idea ill give it a go. I would maybe cut the length down on your auger bit and sides of frame to give you more room underneath if you can, looks as though you could get an extra inch or 2. Thanks.
@@neiltonfaria5001 Thanks very much. Unfortunately everybody’s mortice and tenon bits are designed differently and come in different sizes plus the chuck on your drill press might be quite different. So the measurements I would give you would not help you with your situation unfortunately. If you lay it out the way I showed you in the video I think you’ll find those dimensions for yourself that will match your mortice and tenon bits.
You totally right my friend. I do that all the time now. You can also go past the bench down to the floor if you have even larger pieces your drilling.
I have read somewhere that some people suggested you can build a small platform to the side of your table and turn the drill head 90 degrees and use that platform for drilling longer pieces.
Очень тяжело работает на твердой древесине. Во вторых нужен хороший мощный долбежник. Намного проще высверлить и стамеской подработать. Не тратьте время на это.
Great idea. I would rather do a mortise with a drill press than a router but I hasn’t figured out how. Thanks for doing this. By the way who is playing the music at 4:37 minutes and what is the name of the song. I am a real guitar blues fan and would like to get that piece and the piece that is next. Thanks for any help you can provide. Please keep making more videos like this one.
@@toocrazyaboutwood.-morgan2912 welcome... Even I'm crazy about wood n tools.. Especially the Bosch ones... They're quite cheap here compared to the US or UK. But I'm in a different profession. My love for them inherits from my grandpa who worked in a hangar. He used to mend planes. In India, almost everyone gets their carpentry done from individual workers since labor is still cheap here n not all find it a hobby. Ironically, the perfection seen in your country is better as here, most of the carpenters are novice who don't mind hammering the screw than tighten it. They use Chinese marble cutter as it is hardly 18 $ to cut plyboards. If u go for Bosch that i have, GKS140, it's 80$. People charge 12$ per day for preparing things from wood in labour
@@toocrazyaboutwood.-morgan2912 i have been collecting Bosch tools. They r costly 25% costly than Stanley. But hardly do much work. I love the lathe used there. Compact Jet.
Great idea looking at making one myself but it looks like you are using a lot of force because you have chisel and drill setup wrong you need about 1/8 of drill bit showing past point of chisel should make it cut a lot easier.
How many mortices have you cut using your attachment? I'm worried that that it wont last long because the holding screw in your bottom plate is all that there is to prevent the chisel collar from sliding up when you exert downward force. Got to be a better way of securing the chisel collar to the bottom plate. Maybe drilling a small hole in the collar to accept the holding screw?
Good question. Actually that screw is only stopping the chisel from slipping down. I drilled the hole through the bottom plate of the morticing attachment just a fraction larger than the chisel so that it sits up against the collar of the chisel. But there is another way if you’re concerned that it might slip through overtime is getting a large washer and drilling it out to slightly larger than your chisel so that it sits on the collar and then slip that through the bottom plate of the morticing attachment. I hope that made sense?
Enjoyed the video; but it is hard to mimic making your device without measurements and directions. I'm a novice woodworker and making tendon and mortice cuts is integral in my next project. How do I get the recipe?
The problem is everybody’s drill presses are different, chucks size etc. So if I gave measurements for my drill press I don’t think it would match your drill press. The best thing to do is trial and error unfortunately cut the pieces sufficiently sized to allow the chuck to move freely and that you have access to it with your fingers to tighten it using the chat key. And also the morticing chisels themselves are all designed with different sizes of collar etc. have fun👍🏼
I bet you were like ‘f’ this shi#! I need a morticer 😂😂😂 I guess it was a nightmare to try drilling into oak or ash with that low power and tiny handle!! 😂😂
To be honest I don’t know where you could purchase mortising bits in India. In Canada you can purchase them from a hardware store but they are expensive. So I ordered it from Amazon and they delivered it to my home.
The drill bit is quite plainly not concentric to the cutter collar as seen at 6:05. I do not think that can be correct, perhaps the collar hole is not concentric to the axis of the drill chuck. the assembly part of the video doe does not show any alignment exercise for the collar hole. So the holding screw could be pushing the collar over or the hole is not concentric to the chuck. Whatever the reason the mortice could end up being cut at a slight angle.
There is a lot of large words here that I don’t really understand. But I can say that this morticing attachment works very well, it cuts straight holes. The cutting collar and the drillbit are working well together because they’re not tight together. When pressure is applied to the morticing attachment a slight gap appears between the chisel edges and drill bit allowing a efficient cutting edge. The holding screw is simply holding it in place so it will not slide out when no pressure is on the mortising chisel. I appreciate your comment.
