Hi guys,

After 25 + years of service the chisel set I bought from Woodworkers Warehouse needs to be replaced. I have a Powermatic machine. Looking for a quality set as I have many projects I'm working on. 

Thanks

Mike

I nominate Fisch. I had a Clico, which is a very good one, but I think they may have went out of business.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

I've used Fisch in the past, but have had plenty of good use from a JET set.

Thanks, not easy to find a set of 4. There website does not sell direct. Found them at CT Power Tools in CT. $209 with free shipping. Pricey but if they are worth it they should last the rest of my woodworking days.

Grizzly has a mortise chisels made in Japan sold individually, not your "made in China".

Are mortise chisels a "one size fits all" when it comes to any brand fitting any machine? I have some Ridgid chisels, NOS, and was always curious what machines they would fit. Maybe they will fit the OP's machine
I no longer build museums but don't want to change my name. My new job is a lot less stressful. Life is much better.

Bill,

Thanks for the link. This is just for one bit and not a set. I'm glad you sent this as the reviews for this are really bad. 70+% gave this bit bad reviews. I better do more research before plunking down $210.

If you scroll down on that page you should see a lot more choices, including sets.

When I got my used PM, it came with a set of Jet chisels.

Been using them for several years, very happy with them.

Once in a blue moon I hit them with a diamond cone and polish the outside.
