Powermatic Tilting Table Hollow Chisel Mortiser Model 719T

We have three sizes of chisels for this machine, however, if a member plans to use this machine often, it is preferable that the member purchase and maintain their own chisel/s.  Prior to using this machine for the first time, get checked out on how to install and set up the chisels and bits.  It is important to know how to set the proper gap between the bit and the chisel to prevent ruining the bit and the chisel due to heat build-up.  Users of this machine should also know how to sharpen both the bit and chisel to achieve best performance.
