[tusses]

anyone use a bench morticer as a drill press ?

I have a drill stand that you add a drill to



is has a vice and depth stops and all things usefull

see in the pic ... underneath I keep my bench morticer.

I was wondering - do I need both ?

I use neither much. drill stand mostly as a bobbin sander

Just about to set up for some mortices and it got me thinking

anyone ?

I tried this for a while, but after having to continually change from one to the other it become to much bother, so went back to dedicated mortiser and a dedicated drill press.
Having said that My drill press is a Record DMS26 so it has a mortise attachment used with a corded drill I can have both size mortise cutters available 1/2 and 1/4 inch, when required. Otherwise drill with bobbin sander and dedicated mortiser.

I dont have a morticer,
BUT,
I think that my drill press ranks as one of the most important tools in the shop!
90 degree holes all the time, every time.
