So far this Mortiser has been great. I use this in my wood shop and love it. Well built Mortiser, fast delivery. This is a hobby quality Mortiser. Very impressive for a Mortiser in this price range.

The fact is that the JET 708580 Mortisers B0000223M4 was the Mortisers Under $400 that we graded the highest. That being said, there were a few other truly high quality Mortisers Under $400 we wanted to show you here that only just missed the mark.

WEN is an additional leading producer of Mortisers. They produce the tool that is next on our list. WEN's Mortisers are one of their leading products. I was excited to have a go at the model 43012 and I was not let down!

The WEN 43012 Mortiser, at $261.10 is an especially excellent Mortiser for the money. If you unsure about our number one pick, I'd look into the WEN 43012 next. It's a high quality tool at a good price.

The whole unit shakes more than I would like. I really love this Mortiser. And the Shop Fox brand sleeves are EXPENSIVE. The table is more-or-less perfectly designed. I use this in my wood shop and love it.
