the audio is not good but it shows pretty well how the mortise chisel is meant to be used. Works like a shovel doesn't it?

Re: Using a mortise chisel
I have a Makita bit (bought 12 years ago) and a drill press adaptor but I never got around to rigging them up. I guess unless you need to do a lot of deep mortises, a router or chisel will sufficiently do the job. Also, would a mortising chisel work on soft wood like pine? Don't really know but I think the grain of softwoods would tear under a mortising chisel.
Yeah I agree bro a jointer would be more useful.
