The mortiser is very similar to the drill press with a few differences. Notice there is a motor on the top of the machine instead of the belts and pulleys. The tool in a sense drills a round hole and chisels a square hole all at once. This is used as a female fitting for another male fitting when connecting boards. This is an option that the shop has, however, it is very unlikely you will use it, but it is important to know that it is available for use if needed. See the instructor if you have questions about this machine.
