My mortising machine only accepts up to 5-1/2" material in order to clear the tool base and mortising chisel (barely!). I have a project wherein I'll use rough cut 2"x8" material and have several mortises to punch. I have an adjustable drill press and Fostner bits as an alternative, but wondered if any member had run into the same situation and was able to do a work around with the mortising machine or other. I can go the Fostner bit route, but would rather use the mortising machine so as to keep the work output as precision as possible. Suggestions or comments??
