Powermatic Mortiser:

In my opinion, there is never much you can say about Powermatic tools other than good things. They just work; are extemely accurate and well built, and are just plain fun to use. The price of this unit, delivered to your door from Amazon, is a fantastic deal. I put it to work staight away cutting through some really hard Black Oak cutting 1/2" by 3" deep mortises.

The Powermatic was $100 more than the others, give or take. This got me a... more info

Junk........:

I bought this machine after looking at several other bench top mortisers. I bought it for a specific propose but I have concluded it has a fatal flaw which makes it useless to me. First I'll start with the good stuff. It has a lot better clamps and adjustments then other machines you can get in its class. It also has decent horsepower.
