I came into a Delta benchtop mortiser and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on bits for the mortiser that are a good blend of reasonable price and good quality.
Thanks,
Chuck

Hi Charles,
I have the older version of the Delta mortiser that included a set of the import bits and they have actually worked quite well for me . I keep them sharp enough to be efficient and have performed well in both hard and soft woods. I also have several old, old, Delta brand bits that my father had, likely from the '50s, that worked just as well. For hobbiest stuff I would start with the imports, then move up prn.

Your entire mortising experience will be good if you have good quality, sharp bits. They make or break the whole deal.

:rolleyes:
I'll second that. A great mortiser is nothing without good sharp chisels.... on the other hand great chisels will make a so-so mortiser look good.
