   thanks a lot, you &*%#&%!  that just cost me $250.  and of course i'm now salivating over a Multico PM16 mortiser- so i'll probably kiss another $500 plus shipping goodbye before the week is out.

   Yeah, that's what my wife said, too.

   btw- the reconditioned mortiser was $552.95 incl. ship'g.  i only held out another hour or so.  what crappy willpower i have around good tool deals.  but my impatience paid off- i went back to check something later in the day and they were already out of recons.  the new units are $150 more- so technically, i saved $150, right?  on top of the $80 or so i saved on the saws.  at the rate i'm going, i'm gonna spend myself rich!

   i've wanted a multico mortiser for a long time.  a few years back one of the better ww mags reviewed benchtop machines and their conclusion was that compared to a multico, the rest were toys.

   Thanks for the heads up, Dan. Combined with picking up a shoulder plane at the Japan Woodworker on Monday, I'm all set to try some hand-cut tenons, hopefully by this weekend. Although I did have to defend my choice of the Lie-Nielsen saws to the guy there (a Japanese saw devotee, obviously).
