I posted that my rig works great in answer to someone's query about if a press would do a mortise. Post your own experience if you want, but it's pointless to put mine down.

It is described here and here is the entire thread.
Basically wood magazine tested the original chisels and they were sub par, but there have been improved replacements offered with these machines.

What was the issue with the original chisels? Did you have a problem and called in to find out. Or did you find out another way (known issue)?

Here are some links to somewhat similar tables.
This is a smaller commercial example of the style of table.
Another example with a larger tenon.
