Do we have a hollow mortiser somewhere? I feel like I have seen one.
I know I could use the drill press and a chisel… But that requires skill.
I believe we got rid of the mortiser; it was never used regularly. There are attachments for drill presses that duplicate that functionality, but we don’t have one currently.
Don’t forget the Shaper Origin.
Its forté is joinery such as cutting mortises and tenons.
Precision is something you can count on … and @tomthm can teach you.
Here’s a project I did years ago which drives home this point:

Confirming that we did get rid of the hollow chisel mortiser.
Also seconding Travis’ suggestion of the shaper origin as an amazing tool for this use case.
I wasn’t aware of that Shaper series. I can tell you that one of the tenons depicted works great in the Laguna Swift’s 4th axis 3 jaw chuck.
The Shaper has a polygon option in the Design menu that lets you create the dimensions and number of sides on the fly as well.
