MortiseMate™ Mortising Cutters

The spiral flutes cut clean enough that I barely had to sand the mortise walls before gluing. I’m about 300 joints into this bit and the carbide tip still feels like it did on day one, so the 5,000-joint claim seems legit to me.

Bought these to replace a dull set and the laser-etched depth marks are a lifesaver—no more squinting at worn-out numbers mid-project. Carbide tip held up through a full batch of oak tenons without any burning or tear-out.

The laser-etched markings are a total game changer for setting depth quickly, and I've already hit a few hundred mortises without a hint of dulling. Cuts stay razor sharp with those spiral flutes, no tear-out at all. Well past the 5,000-joint lifespan they mention and still going strong.
