I wish people that didn't know what they were talking about would stop answering these questions. As Geoff pointed out, the instructions are on page 15 of the manual, which you can download from the Powermatic web site. **Q: what chisels does the machine come with?** A: I believe it comes with 4 chisels 1/8"1/4" 3/8" and 1/2" **Q: What is the minimum size table (width and depth) this will fit on?** A: I have mine on a 20 x 20 inch table with rollers, so I can move it to where i'm working.. works great.. **Q: do any chisels and bits come with this mortiser and what is the return policy** A: No. I purchased four Power Matic super-sharp bits: 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, and 1/2. I had a set of Delta mortising bits but opted for the Power Matic; my Delta buts never seemed to work right. I made a mortiser stand and cabinet on wheels to store the bits and extend the work surface. I'd suggest you do that if you can. ## Frequently Bought Together - Powermatic Benchtop Mortiser, 3/4" Chisel, 5-1/2" Stroke, 115/230V 1Ph (Model PM701) - Powermatic Premium Mortise Chisel and Bit Set (1791096) - Taytools 468433 Hollow Chisel Mortise 2-Piece Set of Diamond Sharpening Hones 200 and 600 Grit for Chisels Up To 1/2 Inch --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/1097367-benchtop-mortiser-3-4-chisel-5-1-2-stroke-115](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/1097367-benchtop-mortiser-3-4-chisel-5-1-2-stroke-115) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-07-04*
