Fisch Tools out of business??

[Dan Lee]

There have been a few recent threads about hollow mortise chisels. I have been using Fisch brand for years. I have been looking for a 1/2" replacement and they don't seem to be available anymore. Called the number listed on the website and it was disconnected. They are/were located in Claysville Pa
Anybody heard anything?

Call 411 and get the area code of Claysville, Pa. Then dial 1- and the area code and 555-1212 for long distance information in that area code. Ask for the name of the business in Claysville. If they tell you is discontinued you probably have the answer as I heard rumors to the effect Fisch was taking a hike but I don't have any solid confirmation of that.

Will any other 1/2 fit it?

According to their website, Highland Hardware right there in Atlanta is a dealer for their products.

Yeah I have a PM719 with various bushings. Think I'll try Lee Valleys bit. I just have been satisfied with the Fisch brand
