Few frills, just clean, accurate mortises

Reviewed by: WOOD Magazine

Review Summary

+Pluses: Similar to the Delta and Grizzly models, the 34-250 has a nice rack-and-pinion fence, six-position handle, and riser block for the column. The included chisel set cut clean mortises; early samples left ragged mortises, but those will be replaced upon request for a limited time. Although the hold-down and chisel lock in place with setscrews, the hex wrench for the job is machined onto the end of the chuck-key handle for user convenience.

…

It come with a bushing for 3/4"-shank chisels—a nice touch, if you want to upgrade to premium cutters. –Minuses: We wish it had a larger fence-adjustment knob and a better handle for greater leverage.
