Thx for posting this how-to. I just bought one of these the other day, tried it for the first time, and learned a couple things that helped me make better mortises. I rotated the chisel 180 degrees so the channel is facing outwards...all the waste falls out the front so it's much easier to clear as I go and to see what I'm doing. Also, I found that the bit will drift if it's not drilling a fully new hole (ie. wood on all four sides of the bit). The worst is if it's only on 3 sides (ie. drilling subsequent holes side by side). I was better off drilling holes offset by 1/2 (or less) the thickness of the bit, then going back and cleaning up the remaining pieces that were left in-between.

Hey, Buzz. Interesting tips, thanks. You are right about the bit drifting. If you want nice accurate holes that is the way to go. If you are lazy like me and are going for least amount of effort, I cut less than full holes. I hope my video helped a little and thanks again for your comment. I don't know all there is to know about woodworking, not even close, so I really appreciate other people's feedback. It's my favorite part of having a channel.

You make a great video. Like your shop, mine?? Not so clean. My brother just gave me a Delta mortising attachment your video has been exstrealy helpful. Thank you. From Missouri the Show Me State, and you did and excellent job of showing us how to use the mortising device.

Hey, thanks. I try to keep the shop organized but not always super clean. By the way, as a fellow Chiefs fan, how the heck did they lose to the Lions opening night?

I can't get to funnel (the first piece that goes on) looking piece to attach! Can you please explain that part?

Jim, I'm sorry if I left something out. If I understand your question right, you are confused about mounting the collar that the bits slide into. On my drill press it slips over the part of the drill press that moves up and down (the spindle) right above the chuck. The collar slip fits on and then is snugged down with the nut on the collar. On my older Delta Table Top drill press I had to lower the spindle a little bit to expose an area on the spindle where the collar will mount. I hope that helps.

I believe my Delta attachment has a couple collars that will accomodate 40mm. Check their website. Good luck, I hope it fits your drill press.

I hope my video helps. It's a tool that can be a little quirky, but once you get it it's great.

Thanks for the step through of this process. I'm new to fine woodworking and just got a 1 1/2 HP drill press. Looking to learn joinery, so I'm going to have to get the attachment.

Your welcome Road King. I hope the video helped. Just take your time with it and try various patterns for drilling the mortises, it can be a little frustrating, but once you figure out a good way for you they're great... like most things in life.
