Makita Mortiser Broken Depth Stop

Howdy,

I know you have seen it. Epoxy? How do you pull the head off of the machine. Don't want to epoxy to the cylinder.

Or other free thinking remedies welcome.

Makita mortiser for sale.

Just kidding. Its not mine, trying to gather some info for a friend.

Mine is in good working order, and I got a nice new blue and red one today....

We have debated time before. But the blue and red one is 3X faster than the Makita. The only thing it is not faster than is Timbeal and his boring machine.

Mo, I wish that were true! I am entertaining chain morticers.

Well if you do, go big. Its a well made tool.

Just be careful you don't break off your depth stop.......

I don't think I want the one with the stop that breaks off.

My Makita Mortiser went through the window of my vehicle while turning on an off ramp and I didn't even beak my depth stop ! No damage, couldn't believe it.
