The Powermatic PM701 and the Scheppach 34-260 are worthy of taking a look at also. Both Powermatic and Scheppach are well known for their high quality Mortisers. Each of these two options earned fantastic end user ratings also. The Powermatic received a rating of 4.5/5 when compared to 4.1/5 star rating given to the 34-260 by Scheppach.

The Powermatic PM701 gives several really choice features like In-line depth stop allows stopping at pre-set depths without racking the bit to the base. The 34-260 by Scheppach by comparison, is very competitive with BENCHTOP MORTISER - This benchtop X-Y Mortising Machine gives precision positioning of your work for boring mortises because of the sliding X-Y axis table. and even POWERFUL - With powerful ½ HP Motor with 1750 RPM this motor quickly cuts mortises in the toughest woods without stalling..
