Just bought a General mortiser model#75-050MI. So far I’ve only used to Make a few test cuts,& it works Great! The 1/2″ chisel bit set cut smoothly in Red Oak. I’ve read that you should hone the chisels before using them. I haven’t done this yet either & the chisels cut real good. I can’t wait to see how good they’ll cut after they’ve been honed!
I bought the General after Sarge (from this forum) mentioned He checked it out & liked the way it was made. I looked at the Delta,Jet.Shop Fox,& Fisch,Before deciding on the General,& I d have to say I feel for Me I made the right choice.& I’d recommend that any one looking to but a bench top mortiser that they check out the General before they Buy one.
The only thing I think could be improved on is the table size. The table seems a little small But I’m working on a plan to ad a larger shop made top to it.

Glad you're enjoying the green. It's a winner. You shouldn't have any trouble building a larger table with laminate or the phenolic. I also backed the fence with phenolic.
Go have some more fun cutting square holes..grin<>
