I am in the process of working hard on the accuracy and precision of my woodworking. Recent efforts have included a much bigger effort in sharpening all tools, investments in accurate measuring gauges and guides, power tool tune-ups and even upgrades. (Many of those efforts guided by the great advice from this community. Thank you!)
I am now turning my attention to my mortising process. My current method involves a drill press and chisel and it is not producing the results I'd like. I fuss too long on set up and my mortises are not as accurate as I would like. I am currently evaluating my options including router table set-ups, homemade shop jigs (FWW has plans for one), Mortise Pal or a dedicated mortiser. Money is really not a factor up to about $500. I'd really like to find a solution that allows me repeatable accuracy without taking as long for set up as I do for the actual cutting.
What do you guys find is the best method to achieve what I'm looking for? Thanks again, in advance for the help.
