Powermatic benchtop Mortiser usually retails for $999, so 40% off the normal price is pretty solid for a Powermatic tool.

Accidentally posted based on lowes description but this is a Mortiser, not a drill press.

It's incredible how much these have shot up in price over the last 5-6 years. I recall this being the retail price. But based on recent pricing this is a fantastic deal.

Yes, it's absolutely absurd every time I find a deal but it's the price from 2019. Better than nothing but frustrating for sure.

Yup, I Paid $450 for mine on 4/8/20. Mine came in with fan cover and fan smashed in. Powermatic sent me new parts no problem.

I think I spent more time making a custom stand for it and the chisel bits than i did using the machine. Yes, i only used it once lol.

Since it's not a "sale" item, you can use a 10% coupon.

I had no idea what this was, but, yeah. Can't post a link, but if you Google it there are a bunch of videos showing use to notch out square and rectangle sections or create channels...

That's what I am concerned about. Great buy, but I did WWing for 25 years without one; maybe I don't need one.

Yeah, I use mine for deeper mortises than my router will go. It's also nice that you don't need to hand chisel out any rounded cuts with the router.
