Any Minimax slot mortiser users

[Roy Wall]

Roy thanks, I guess I should of been more clear. Are you using upcut, downcut spiral, or another type of plunge bit.

Sorry Aaron....

These are from MM - they are the ONSRUD bits. You cannot plunge straight down with them or they burn badly. Just a 1/8" or so, and then you start working it side to side while plunging slowly and evenly.

Okay, just checking. I got the 1/4" bit when I got my mortiser since I use mostly 3/4" stock, just haven't used it yet but they did warn me not to start very deep, like you said. I'll make sure I practice first.
