A friend of mine bought a house on a lake in Connecticut...he needed a portable table saw for his many projects on the house. I gave him one of mine, delivered it and he then showed me his drill press that he offered as he no longer needed it. It seems he used it mainly to cut mortises (AMT attachment). He replaced it with a Jet. As he brought me into his shop an aura of bright light shone around the press, angelic voices could be heard and in the distance I could hear music. As my eyes regained focus the Walker Turner slowly came into view. I could hear "Nick, over here"... Bill plugged it in and it hummed quietly and immediately I pictured myself standing in front of it, suede apron, intently focused on the piece on the table. Now I need mortising bits... As I roamed the sites last night I also ran across a forum that had some posts regarding the AMT attachment. They referred to the AMT as having a 3/4" hole for the bits rather than the (presumably) "standard" 5/8". So now I have to wait till next week before I get a chance to measure the receiver in the attachment. I assumed Bill kept the bits for the Jet. If that were the case, then they might be the same size as the Jet mortiser which would make the AMT a 5/8" receiver. No...I'm not trying to logic my way through this but I was hoping to order the bits from Lee Valley while their free shipping is on. Do any of you know the AMT attachment to comment on the size of the bit it might take...? Do I have a UPOS attachment...? (Yeah...I know...where the heck are the pictures...don't yell too loud...I'm practicing my memory exercises) Thanks in advance...
