Tools and Hardware Reviews of DELTA 14-651 Professional 1/2 Horsepower Bench Mortising Machine
Customer Review: good machine after manufacturing flaw repaired
Summary: 3 Stars
I have always liked Delta Products and own quite a few of them so when I decided on a mortiser this was the first one that I checked out. After comparing features and prices with other models I ordered one from homedepot.com (free shipping). When I recieved it the carton was mint and the machine looked fine. A very heavy and stable machine for the price. After trying it out I noticed i was having trouble getting the chuck to tighten up on the bit also the bit seemed to be off center and was very noisy and there was drag. After looking over the machine I determined that the motor was not seating level in the base. I tried tighting the mounting screws , but not so tight as to cause damage, but no luck. I removed the motor from the base and found the recess that the motor was supposed to fit in was too small (only by a small fraction but enough to cause problems). I spent some time with a round file very carefully going around the recess until the motor seated properly. It took some time but now it works good even though the supplied bits are only of average quality. I have to say I was dissapointed because whoever assembled this one I'm sure knew this was a problem but let it go. A consumer should not have to start doing repar work to a brand new prduct. I gues that's what happens when you outsource out of the country. I wounder if this is why some people complained of broken flanges. If I had tried to really crank down on the mounting screws to level the motor I'm sure the flange would have broken. How about some quality control Delta? I know outsourcing means higher profits but if the Delta name suffers is it worth it. A brand new out of the box product should never have had this problem although I like the machine very much now that it works properly.

There's also a generous 16-3/4-by-13-1/2-inch cast-iron base and 2-15/16-inch tall two-piece fence totaling 13-5/8 inches in length. Bit and chisel changing is easy with the chuck key/hex wrench. Of course, we always want to use new tools right out of the box, and Delta's made sure you can get started right away with 1/4-, 5/16-, 3/8-, and 1/2-inch chisel and bit sets. Beats a drill and hand chisel any day! --Kris Jensen-Van Heste
