Hi,
I’m just getting into woodworking and bought a steel city mortiser. I have a question about the bits, they drill bit seems to leave a circular cut slightly larger than the square the chisel leaves. Has anyone experienced this before? Do I buy new bits to fix it? Any help would be helpful.
Thanks,
Jesse

Does it show?
Jesse,
Your problem is really not a problem if your tenon pieces have shoulders, which will hide any imperfection of the mortise. If you are through morticing or aren't using shoulders them you may have to clean the mortices up with a chisle.
I think my mortising bits do the same thing as yours. the middle third of each face has a very slight curve in it from the auger bit.
