I want to buy a set of three to six mortise and tenon cutters to make some
furniture and things.
Anyone have any suggestions on a good brand?
Caveats?
Do some have better replacement blades and better prices on them? What
about longevity?
Sites would be appreciated. I have Googled a lot on this, and there are a
lot out there. I just would like to buy a quality set that would:
Last
be easy to get replacement blades for
do a good job
have good metal so they don't wear out fast
have any other good qualities I don't know about yet.
TIA
Steve

Other vendors carry similar tools.
Haven't used any of them, so I can't comment.

Since machine mortise bit/chisel sets don't cut tenons
and neither do mortising chisels, I'm guessing he's
talking about router bits - possibly for the Leigh FMT
(in which case, money should be no object to him) or
the Trend M&T jig. Given that assumption - Whiteside
router bits have a good reputation.

Again, I want to make rustic furniture where you take round pieces of wood,
and sharpen them on the end to make a round tenon.
I am not making the regular mortise and tenon that has right angles, and can
be made on a table saw.
This style uses round pieces of wood with the bark still on it.
Sorry I was not very clear.
I am learning.

Sure Steve, glad to help. This is all you'll need:

Oh, and a router and a few bits. But that's all.

Oh, those.
Actually I wasn't aware there was more than one company making those
things.

Thanks, Greg. Exactly what I am looking for. Just wondered if anyone had
experience enough with these to say which were some of the best brands.

What are you asking about? Hand chisels for motises? Chisels for a mortising
machine or what brands of mortising machines themselves?

If you want a bench top mortiser (most common), I have the Delta and am
satisfied with that. You can google this news group and find lots of
recent discussions on it. IIRC the General was another favorite.
I also have the Delta tenoning jig for the table saw which works quite
well, even on my PM66. If I am doing just a few tenons, I will do them
on the RAS which is also acceptable. There are lots of plans for home
made tenoning jigs for the TS. Again google this group.
