Hi Rob, welcome back! I no longer own crappy tools, I feel they pretty much guarantee a crappy job. However, that mortise job can be done as well with a good, sharp $10.00 chisel or a $1000.00 mortise router setup. For me the chisel makes more sense, it takes too long to learn and setup the router for the few mortise jobs I do. If I were a pro I'd want the $1000.00 job. I feel Pentax cameras fall into the chisel cata- gory, wonder if they'll ever build a "router" DSLR? For now I'm pretty happy with their chisels. ;-)
