You might end up cutting the mortise too large and ruin your work. So, always try to cut the mortise first before the tenon. It all comes down to how often you use these tools. The Mafell is over three times the price of the Makita, but the Mafell is more than three times the speed (because it does not need to clamp and it cuts the full width of the mortise in a single pass). If you are doing one or two frames a year, go with the Makita! But if this is a daily part of your business, you should invest in the Mafell. If, however, you have only a few small mortises to cut at home for a small project, a drill press equipped with a mortising bit will be a more suitable option and can work.

The square chisel mortiser (also called hollow chisel mortiser), similar to a drill press in many respects, combines the cutting of a four-sided chisel with the action of a drill bit in the center. The bit clears out most of the material to be removed, and the chisel ensures the edges are straight and clean. This device was invented in 1874 by Robert and Ralph Greenlee (founders of the Greenlee Company). It’s capable of using up to a ½ inch chisel bit, powered by a ½ HP induction motor, which makes it ideal to cut through both hard and softwood with ease.

Makita 7104L 10.5 Amp chain mortiser The first square chisel lever mortisers were purely manual and relied on the operator pulling down on a large lever to push the chisel through the timber. An improvement was to place a rotating cylindrical auger inside a hollow chisel. This helps to clear chips up the centre of the chisel. As electric power became easily available, the auger developed as a drill bit and became the main means of removing waste timber from the mortise. These mortisers now used much shorter hand levers, as the manual work was only in cleaning up the mortise to be square-cornered. The Greenlee Company still manufactures mortisers, as do a large number of other power tool manufacturers.
