Most woodworkers have a drill press gathering dust in the corner. A mortising attachment can turn that machine into a surprisingly capable hollow-chisel mortiser - but only if your quill collar actually fits the kit. Getting that fit right is the ...
The cleanest hole I ever drilled in walnut came off a Forstner bit turning slowly, and the ugliest came from a twist bit run too fast in the same board a minute earlier. Same wood, same machine, wildly different results. Drill press bits for wood ...
