WHAT'S THIS?

Wood Magazine's Top Tool
Wood Magazine, Volume 156, 2004-06

The reviewer voted this as the Top Tool in the mortiser comparison study. This General International mortiser was similar to the General International 75-050 M1 mortiser, but this mortiser can do angled mortises that the 75-050 M1 cannot, so it is a more verstatile tool. The long "fingers" of the hold-down prevent wood pieces from twisting when the chisel is pulled away, which is a notable plus. The depth-of-cut stop saves effort by limiting upward head travel, the long handle with its horizontal grip is ergonomically well-designed, four chisels are included with the purchase price, and the heavy base is stable and broad. The only drawbacks mostly don't relate the tool operation itself: these drawbacks are a limited instruction manual, no on-board storage space for adjustment tools, and the handle has only two starting points, which can result in reduced leverage.
