You took my door stop. :) I have the same one been holding office door open for years. When I fid use it it worked well. If you lived closer I would have traded it with you in exchange for a rock. New toys are fun. Go make holes.

Hmmm.  Ok.

But hey, a guy's got to start somewhere.

And there's no place like the beginning.

I definitely plan on adopting one of those as well. I borrowed one from a friend when I built the huge front door. One stile (6 through mortises 4.5" deep) took me almost a day to route then square by hand. The HCM did all 6 in about 45 minutes, 30 of those spent laying out and measuring three ish times. .

Great tool to have

Congrats!  I picked up a Powermatic Mortiser at Christmas about the same way. A guy was beginning his woodworking tool ordering...got the machine and immediately got transferred in his job.  He had used only one bit for a few minutes punching just a few holes.  I got the machine and the bits for $270.
