A little short on Quality
After considering the other brands, I finally chose the Fisch.

What I like:
1. Access to belts for changing speeds.
2. Heavy unit
3. Price (bought it at the WW show, came with the ext bed)
4. More HP

What I DO NOT like:
1. Customer service is weak.

Nice machine for the price.

Good lathe, but shipping problems
For the money, this is a good lathe. I particularly recommended it for those who, like me, would like to try wood turning, but do not want to sink alot of money into it at first. I've used it now for a few months now, made several small bowls and other pieces, and am enjoying it.

I would also recommend that a beginning turner get a good instruction book or guideance from someone experienced. I've found that good technique is important both for good results and for safety.

If it was not for shipping and service difficulties, I would have given the product the full 5 star rating. I ordered the lathe in early January, but did not receive it until March (this despite the words that it "usually ships in 1 to 2 weeks" shown continuously on the Amazon.com product page - which was irritating). When it arrived the plastic belt cover was cracked and barely functional. I sent 2 emails to the Fisch customer service department with no response. Finally on the third try, in which I also copied several in management, they did come thru and sent me a replacement part.

Great little starter lathe
This is a great little lathe, very quiet and very easy to use, assembly is minimal,about 10 minutes, is an excellent bowl turning machine and with the purchase of a 3 jaw chuck you will have an extremely versatile turning center. ... Read more

What a clean hole
As you can tell from the title of this review, I am impressed with these brad point bits. I recently built a hobby table for a Christmas gift, and the table was built of hard clear maple. These bits did a marvelous job. Fisch recommends a 2-3,000 rpm speed range and my drill press belt ratio put mine at 2610 rpm, almost perfect. The holes were clean and burr free each time. After drilling over a hundred holes, I wanted my local blade sharpening shop to check them out. They said it was clearly a quality HSS bit, that had an interesting tip spur configutration that maintains the outside hole diameter while drilling, and no clean up or sharpening was necessary. Whatever the reason, I can assure you that these bits drill a nice, clean, burr free hole. I cant attest to how much the bits are worth in relation to the walnut case they come in, but after using these brad points, I dont care. A nice set that should last for years to come, I certainly recommend these. One other note, like most products, HSS is graded, my sharpening service ( who has a very good reputation locally ) said that these were true HSS steel and despite being more expensive initially, will endure fewer sharpenings over their life span. Pay now, or pay later. ... Read more

Best of the Best
I recently read two magazine articles about the Fisch bench top mortiser. Both articles gave Fisch high marks. I was suprised to see reviews on Amazons website that told a different story. I also noticed that these review were very old. Fisch has a great reputation so I ordered the 3/4 HP mortiser and was not dissapointed. I have tried the Delta and Jet. There is absolutely no comparison. Fisch has a much better machine. The Fisch mortiser is a strong reliable tool that I will be happy with for many years to come.

Not great.
I've had this mortiser for about a year. It doesn't include any chisel/bit sets, so that was a substantial additional outlay. I have three gripes about this tool.

First, the depth stop is difficult to adjust. There is no depth gauge, and using a tape measure is very difficult. That's because there's a plate on the bottom of the motor assembly that contacts the depth stop, but that plate doesn't extend to the edge of the motor assembly and you can't get a tape measure in to where that plate is. You're pretty much reduced to trial and error with a piece of scrap wood. Very frustrating.

Second, the depth stop is made of plastic. It needs to be very tight in order to keep from slipping, but one of the plastic seams that the threads of the "tightener" go into ended up splitting.

Third, the posts aren't mounted very securely to the base. I wound up having to dismount the mortiser from my workbench in order to retighten them.

I have run into some clogging (and subsequent stalling) and burning, but I can't blame the mortiser for those.

It does the job, just not as easily as I'd like, nor is it as well made as I'd expect....

Not worth it
I bought the Fisch because of the micro-adjustable fence, spring return, and two-post design. I was not satisfied with the tool. Deficiencies: 1. The depth stop slips. I can't tell you how many times I accidentally converted 1 1/4" mortises into 1 3/4" through mortises... Major hassle. 2. The "indexable" knob that controls the depth stop stripped almost immediately--had to resort to vise grips. 3. After about 400 mortises, the machine stalled very frequently--even in very soft wood (western red cedar). Yes, the chisel and bit were sharp and adjusted properly. 4. The chuck cover is made of plastic. This may not matter--because of the frequent stalls, you'll need frequent access to the chuck. Just remove the cheap plastic cover, because it'll break pretty quickly... 5. The micro-adjustable fence is more trouble than you'd expect. The spring makes it difficult to adjust, and the screw isn't long enough to give you the full range of motion I needed. 6. Like all the small mortisers, the hold-down is inadequate. I returned the Fisch and bought the Jet. Now I'm relatively happy. Jeff

Less than expected
I had purchased and returned the Delta mortiser, finding much the same problems described in reviews I susequent read. After reading a review on the Fisch mortiser I ordered one and unfortunetely was again dis-satisfied with the results. I am building mission style furniture out of white oak and the mortiser's motor was just not up to the task. It stalled quite often, something that happened infrequently with the Delta. With the Delta all I had to do was raise the mortiser, freeing up the jam and then continue to mortise. With the Fisch pieces of wood lodged between the bit and the chisel necessitating re-adjustment of the chisel to free the clog. This happened no matter how I adjusted the gap between the bit and the chisel. I also found the mico-adjustment less than optimal. I expected a screw type adjustment, not one that depended on a spring. And finally, I found the spring return more difficult to use than those on the Delta or Jet. I returned the Fisch and purchased a Jet, which I find to be an excellent machine. I have made numerous mortises with it and find it consistantly accurate and easy to adjust and use.

Fisch benchtop mortiser
I had a good bit of experience with the Delta mortiser (on loan from a friend), when it came time to buy my own, I researched long and hard to find the best. I succeeded!! the Fish has none of the problems the Delta has (sloppy plunge, bad hold down, weak fence) and works like a charm.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this machine looks a lot like the other machines, it is head and shoulders above the rest.

P.S. Shop Fox (marketed by Grizzly) has a faster spinning motor - a definite DISADVANTAGE - major burning problems
