Having a floor mounted hollow chisel mortiser was always on my bucket list. Now that I start looking I see they are not really widely available like they were 10 years ago or more. The PM is the only one I see and I am upset with PM because my splined handle bracket (cast) on my benchtop unit broke in two the other day and a replacement is not available.
I will start looking for a used one, but in the mean time I see that the horizontal mortisers seem to have taken on some popularity.
Does anyone know why the floor standing units seemed to have disappeared?
Anyone have any experience with the horizontal units?
