Whenever I use my mortiser, I always wonder.. why is the bed not higher..
In order to mortise a 1-3/4" x 1-3/4" Table leg.. I have to put 3/4" - 1" thick stock under the leg.. Its like the chisel stops 1-1/2" above the table top..
I wonder if I should have longer chisels .. lol
I checked the travel, its maxed out.. why would this be ? What would be wrong with it stopping 1/2" from the table top .. Is this normal, or am I unique ?
