Masterwood mortiser in action
Finally remembered to take a video while I am doing the mortising work. Took this video extra slow to show how it's cut and in action, normally I do a mortise in like 5-10 seconds
the cutter is a 10 mm baby, my 25mm cutter is on it's way from Italy, once it arrived it will make the mortising time 1/3 of what it is now.

I had to look this up to see how it worked, others might also benefit from this diagram of a swing chisel mortiser (sorry if it isn't quite correct for you machine albert):

thats true, the chisel I ordered cost about just under $1000 NZD...
It is a shame that Masterwood does not have matching machine for making tenon, I would have bought it if they have it. Balestrini makes a matching tenon and mortising machine but its a bit limited the max tenon length (the dimension into the mortise) is only 50mm.
There are machines out there makes long tenon but they are $30k for Asian machine and $60k for European. I think I will stick to my Robland for now, I have the tenon attachement which you use with spindle moulder, but its just too slow, for a hobbist its more than adequate. I am lucky I bought the long version of the Combi machine so I can place the tenon attachment at the far end of the carriage, the panel cutting function is not affected. see photo below for detail:

tenon by the spindle moulder + tenon attachement, I used Leuco grooving blade, tenon length is 75mm, its not perfect and sometimes when I am pushed for time there is a 0.5mm gap between the corner.

The blade I use to cut the tenon is set horizontally on the spindle moulder, you have to lower the saw blade to use the spindle moulder, it's kind of in the way.
Robland recommends under 2900 rpm for cutting block/blade diameter larger than 200mm. The lowest speed on the spindle moulder is 3000 rpm so I just use that. The blade I use is 180mm but it's set at 3000rpm anyway.
