Got the mortiser today. Set up is quick, the process of drilling a half-doz=
en holes and then swinging the arm back and forth a few times takes a minut=
e or so and the floating tenon fits OK. Will need to tweak the settings to=
get it where I want it. Out of the box it was a tad loose on the ends of t=
he mortise (or the tenons were a tad short :-)). Tweaked it and the mortis=
e was a tad too tight. =20
Still need to try aligning with the mating board, but it seems this will be=
OK for light duty. It certainly isn't a Domino, but at less than 10% of t=
he Festool price I think it's a good solution for my needs.

Do they have an RCH setting? If not, tell JessEm. ;)
(OR, you could drill and tap one end, then install a fine-threaded
adjustment screw to get your RCH worth of movement.)

You betcha. Great minds think alike, Larry. Carry on!
