Fisch BTM99-44252 Fisch is a relative newcomer to the mortiser market with this new two-post design.The company recently improved the depth stop (which slipped on earlier models), and we can now say this new depth stop is bulletproof. Other unique features of this machine include a second depth stop that controls the upward movement of the head,a strong return spring that makes the motor emerge more easily from a mortise,and a nice micro-adjustable fence.The fit and finish of this machine is excellent. Like other slow-speed machines, the Fisch was more likely to stall in tough woods.And the table needed five pieces of tape to be shimmed square to the chisel. Ifyou're in the market for a slow-speed machine, the new model Fisch is worth checking out. Contact Fisch at 724-663-9072. Without a doubt, the hold-down on the Multico is the best. In fact, it can hold your stock a little too firmly. When setting the hold-down, put a piece of paper over the work, lock the hold-down's lever and remove the paper. we shimmed the table with tape. This step — more than anything else — will ensure your mortises are straight and true. After shimming, we checked to see if the fence was square to the table. All of the machines came in real close, so we didn't shim the fences. To test the machines' motors, we cut 1 H'-deep x 10"-long mortises in ash, hard maple and white oak. All of the sample boards came from one plank of each species to ensure the wood was of a similar density. After cutting the mortises, we sliced open the test boards to see if the mortises went straight into the board or if they were at an angle. If the machine's table had been shimmed properly, the mortises were invariably true.
