Hey, Brian,
sorry to the OP, but I have to ask which "right bits" are you talking of. I'm presently trying out a few mills from my Domino, which hold a lot of promise. I'll let you know how they work out. But in the meantime, which bits are your favourite?
Again, my apologies to the OP.

I've chopped a considerable number of mortises by hand, which can at times be faster than machine but certainly relies heavily upon experience.
I've used a router guide set to knife gauge marks and it works well and is extremely fast with the right bits.
I have recently added a Felder FD-250, with the right bits its pretty quick and certainly it can be extremely accurate which is wonderful. It can be outfitted with a square chisel but for the moment I'm simply squaring up the ends.
