Hey All;
I was generously given a mortising machine a short while ago, and am trying to get it working, it is in great shape except for one thing. The drill bit portion of the chisel is not long enough to reach the chuck.
I am using the two chisels that came with the machine, and the previous owner has stated that it worked perfectly for him. When I insert the chisel, it goes in smoothly and seats fully, but the drill is only long inough to just barely touch the very bottom of the check. I have tried many times, removing and reinserting and nothing works.
HELP!
Here is a pic of the beasty.
