    How it works

    Square holes, straight from your drill.

    A hollow chisel wraps a spinning auger — one clears the waste, the other shears the corners perfectly square. Clean mortise-and-tenon joints, no dedicated machine.

    🪵 The cut

    One plunge.
    Four clean corners.

    The hollow square chisel and the internal auger work as one: the auger clears the bulk while the chisel shears the four corners perfectly square.

    Mark, plunge, shift over, plunge again — chain the cuts and a full-length mortise takes seconds, not the ten minutes it takes to pare one by hand.

    ⚙️ The setup

    Skip the
    $300 mortiser.

    You don't need a dedicated machine eating half your bench. These bits drop straight into any drill press, and the adapter bracket clamps them to a hand drill or drill stand.

    Same square holes — a fraction of the cost and the space.

    🔩 The steel

    Built to
    bite hardwood.

    Forged from high-carbon steel and ground to a keen edge, the chisels cut clean through oak, maple and ash and keep cutting.

    Back out to clear chips on deep plunges and let the auger do the work — no burning, no wandering.

    the tenon drops in.

    Square, splinter-free faces mean your mortise-and-tenon joints seat tight the first time — no shimming, no fighting the fit.

    Consistent depth off your drill's stop gives you matching mortises every time.

    ⚖️ Old way vs these bits

    The same mortise,
    without the mallet.

    By hand

    Chisel & mallet

    • ✕Uneven depth and walls — joints need shimming to fit
    • ✕Ten-plus minutes per mortise, and it's tiring
    • ✕Skill-dependent — easy to overcut and ruin the joint
