Jessum Pocket Mortise Mill II Experiences anyone???

[Lisa Starr]

As some of you know, I purchased several box lots of tools from an estate. I'm starting to sort thru the final box and found a Jessum Pocket Mortise Mill II, P/N 08200. What can you tell me about it? I currently use a Rockler Beadlock for loose tenon work. Is this comparable? Better? Worse? I'm just wondering if it is something I should consider keeping. Would it replace the Beadlock or complement it? TIA

Seems like it was a product that was short lived. Touted around the net as the poor mans Domino. Here’s a video on it from Jessem: LINK (https://youtu.be/elNGzON39mY)

Ben, I found and watched a couple of videos from Jessum. I was mostly looking for people with actual experience using it and see what the strong points/pitfalls are.
