Compatible Models
We do our best to list all compatible models. Although this may be the part you need, your exact model may not appear below.
- Compatible hollow-chisel mortising machines
- Drill presses equipped with a correctly sized mortising attachment
- Woodworking setups that accept the listed shank and chisel dimensions
Product Overview
Round drill bits cannot leave the square corners needed for many tenons, lock bodies, and traditional joints. Each tool in this set pairs an internal auger with a square hollow chisel so chips are bored out while the outer chisel forms the mortise walls.
These are not ordinary bits for unsupported use in a handheld drill. The machine must hold and align the square chisel while driving the auger, and its chuck and bushing dimensions must accept the selected tool.
Key Features & Performance
- Seven sizes cover fine furniture work through larger joinery
- Hollow chisel and internal auger cut the center and square corners together
- High-speed-steel cutting components for woodworking service
- Useful for repeatable mortises in shop production
- Organized size range from 6mm through 14mm
Common Uses
- Cutting mortises for mortise-and-tenon joints
- Making square recesses for locks and hardware
- Building furniture, doors, frames, and cabinetry
- Producing repeat joints more consistently than hand chopping

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can these be used in a normal handheld drill? A: No. A hollow chisel must be held stationary by a compatible mortiser or mortising attachment.
Q: Why does the auger project below the chisel? A: A small lead lets the auger remove material before the square chisel shears the corners.
Q: Will every size fit every mortiser? A: No. Check shank, chuck, and chisel-bushing dimensions first.
