Hey all,
Thought I would throw this one out. I just purchased a used delta 14-650 type 2 mortiser and getting the bits in and out are a REAL PAIN. I want to put some machine oil to get the mortise bits to be easier to insert and remove, but wasn’t sure what the consensus is.
Thoughts? Suggestions?

How used/how rusty? The chisels should should go into the mortiser rather easily. Naturally the holding screw has to be loosened but other than that It should be easy. Try cleaning up the socket with 220 paper and clean the chisel shanks. You might check the chisel shanks for dings or dents also. A little WD40 or Boeshield can't hurt.
Work Safe, Count to 10 when your done for the day !!

Ditto Bruce on checking for dents and dingies on the chisel shaft and it should go in easy if the holding screw is backed out far enough to avoid contact.....
Sarge..
