   I just read a review by Bob Lang in that off-shoot publication Pop Woodworking is doing.

   Interstingly, he said save yourself the money on Clico's which are the high-end chisels, and buy either the Woodcraft of Highland house brands.

   Call Delta and ask if they will sell you the bit only -- I suspect they will. the number is (800) 223-7278.

   Thank you for the phone number. That looks like the only choice that I have left.

   That's assuming that its a made in China bit and not a made in Austria bit. Delta has bits with origins of manufacture in both countries. That said, I've also read good reviews of the WoodCraft bits and chisels.

   Me too (re: the Woodcraft bits), but curiously, they did not show up on a search of their site.********************************************************

   Interesting, I can't find them either. The closest I can get is to put in "mortiser" into the keywords and then they show up under one of the mortisers you select. From there, you can get a part number, but it still doesn't show up on the website!
