JessEm Zip Slot Mortise Mill

[Paul Hingco]

Anyone have one? Experiences with it?

[Ben Martin]

I bought one during the close out, made one mortise with it, so not much of an opinion, but it performed as advertised.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I have an unused new one with 3/8" and 1/4" drill kits. I used the first one I purchased only once. It was defective and JessEm sent me a new replacement. My investment was over $200.00. They are now discounted to below $60.00 for the 3/8" kit alone.

In an event, it worked as advertised, however I went out and purchased a Domino. Now that is a machine! However it cost over $1,200.00 for the machine and accessories.

I was seriously considering one of these machines. What happened? Why the drastic price reduction?

[Dan Mitchell]

Can the Jessem be used with readily available hardwood tenons, such as those made for the Domino? Is this apt to be an issue? I guess you could make the tenons, but that does eliminate one of the "convenience" factors. Comments?
