The cast (or sintered metal) section of the handle on my Delta Model 14-650 Hollow Chisel Mortiser had a gog break off Sunday while I still had about 30 more square holes to drill. There must have been 4 cogs initially, and there were evidence of two broken sections, so one must have broke off earlier. Needless to say, I was very anxious and caution with the last holes to try to get to glue time today. Now tomorrow, I can call Delta and find out the damage to buy a new handle that includes the cast cog head. Has this been a problem for others? You might take a look at your cogs on the handle and check for cracks to a avoid a breakdown at a critical time.
