Love it!!! Love all kreg

"Love it!!! Love all kreg products that I have"

Jason M. (5/5)

Great budget mortise tool

"I purchased this tool for a budget mortise jig. I'm building a bed with 44 rails and wanted them to not have screws in the top and bottom. Once I got going with the set up I was able to get them done in a few hours. Much more work to come, but this was a great start."

does the job

"The MortiseMate works great . I did have some issues. The metal face wasn't perpendicular to the wooden base. I found that putting a clamp on the work piece and pulling it into the MortiseMate helped. I would suggest on the next version they thicken the side walls (where the adjustment is made) to accommodate a clamp head. The vacuum port got in my way when doing thick pieces, they should twist it out of the plane of the back. It would be nice to have a way to easily see when the mortise is finished."

This is the perfect tool

"This is the perfect tool for smaller, DIY projects. Portable and powerful, precise and easy to use. I have used it on a recent table repair and on a new project. This is my new favorite Kreg tool. I would definitely recommend this tool."

Love it. Tightened up the

"Love it. Tightened up the play about 1 1/4 turns each in both sides for minimal lateral play. Attached 5 large end grain butcher block cutting boards to make an island. They all lined up perfectly. VahlaWoodWorks. Just need to remember it needs slight upward pressure on the handle to allow it to advance forward."
