I have these

They seem to work fine for me. Of course, I don't do mortises all day long and I don't do production work, so take it for what it's worth.

It looks like it might do a pretty decent job of cutting mortises. It also sets you up real well for purchasing factory made tenons. Yeah, you can make your own but that would be time consuming.
You could also look into the Festool Domino System.
I tend to rely on these:

Thanks - but NO it is not. It is a pain to move chisels in and out of. The concept was good but fell way short at execution.
The chisels have been good though. They hold an edge real well and have held up very good. They are "Buck Brothers" (all but one which is an old, old Stanley). Wish I had the rest of that set.

Sorry! Just don't understand Spending good money for a specialized mortise machine. Most of us already have a Shopsmith that is capable of horizontal boring. Just put a router bit on the spindle and do mortises in horizontal boring mode. Even with the high speed of a Mark V this will work great!
Another alternative is using a tool most shops already have - a router! Mortises can be made with a router mounted in a table - It is an easy thing.
Another alternative is (if one is available) a router used in the Overarm Router Arm. This attachment can be used in both vertical or horizontal mode.
Of course - If squared corners are desired, a chisel is needed. Either a corner chisel or a bench or mortise chisel.
Here's a sample of a thru mortise/tenon made on a Shopsmith and corners squared with a bench chisel.

Thanks, Dusty!
BTW - I found more ifo. on making mortises with the Mark V and router table - not needing special mortising devices. Lots of reading and pictures. Very interesting threads from 2009 started by Ed reible.

Hey Dusty,
I bet if you just pull the front support off on you rack you would find the rack to be easier to remove the chisels. Just my 2 cents. That is how I made mine and it works just fine. Of course I don't have as many as you do, but I do have one buck bros the others are Ace Hardware.

Yeah, that works but the chisels fall out very easily. I don't believe I cut the notches like I should have.kd6vpe wrote:Hey Dusty,
