And, thanks to the 4-inch chuck key, there's little chance of banging or scraping your knuckles while switching bits. The mortiser's feed handle adjusts so you can choose the most comfortable position for each application, and it also offers a quick-setting depth stop and a removable toggle switch that prevents accidental or unauthorized use of the tool. It's set on a heavy-duty cast-iron base with four predrilled mounting holes.
