Wood Square Hole Mortise Chisel Drill Bit 1/4 in. Woodworking Bit Hole Cutter

Worked okay

hace muy buenos agujeros muy contento con mi compra

I broke the auger on my Powermatic chisel. I was looking for a replacement. I first bought the Delta chisel. Not only would it not fit my Powermatic mortiser but the outside of the chisel was poorly finished and rough. It would have taken a lot of time smoothing it. This chisel was cheaper and looked like it would fit my mortiser. I paid $17 for it on Amazon.. the chisel is smoother than the Delta. Very much like the Powermatic. Comparing it to the Powermatic the auger had fewer spirals. I don't know what the quality of the steel is. I sharpened and honed it and made a few mortises in maple. I took it slow only making partial plunges. It seemed to work fine. Not sure how long it will last but I'm keeping it.

Machining was done very poorly. I didn't want to spend the time necessary to properly hone everything.

Heavy burrs, horrific machining and the bit does not spin freely in the hollow chisel. Don’t buy and spend the money on quality. I now have to waste more time on returning. Need I say more ?

I purchased the 5/8” mortise chisel and bit. It was not sharp. Wouldn’t even cut the first mortise without sharpening it. The chisel is so poor I couldn’t get a uniform edge when sharpening. Will not buy again!

No explanation that this was a 5/8" collar and I needed a 3/4" not worth sending back, will give it to a buddy who can use it.

Mortise bit wobbles, chews up hole and gets so stuck I can’t pound the workpiece wood off with a 2 pound sledge.

If the quality was better would have gotten a higher rating.
