yea chucked one in the binAh bollix,I've just had a look in the spare room for an old B&D drill stand I had for ages,can't see it so must have thrown it out? could have knocked up a morticer with a motor I have and the drill stand.
Remember these?

as flimsy as hell and rubbish real diy .every weekend handyman had one MEMORIES, Now I have a cast iron drill stand, Possibly 60s,maybe B&D for a big drill. not long ago dissmantled it, It had a dedicated 240 motor bolted to the top up/down bit, a sort of yoke on the bottom of the motor to accept the chisel and bit then an MDF board on the bottom, as it got used so infrequently it got taken apart. I have the drill stand if its of use to someone, see if I can find it when I picture the attachment and drill later.

I've still got one. And the B&D (metal case!) drill to fit it, along with the "hammer action" attachment. And somewhere a circular saw attachment too I think.yea chucked one in the bin

i hope u use it through an rcd
more people snuffed it by being electrocuted with them cos the earth leads had snapped and a fault developed 
Oh god, I don't use it. It's crap. Plus I'd be afraid of breaking it. Belonged to my Dadi hope u use it through an rcd
I have a nice 36V Bosch SDS and a 415v Pillar Drill in the man cave to take care of anything that comes up...

Round at the bike shop there's a drill stand with an old metal cased Wolf two hand drill in it and it will rip through anything, it's a frightening tool. I wouldn't like to hold the drill if the bit got snagged as it would throw you like a Judo champion.

yes the industrial versions in the 60s were a beast of a machine, could have been 12" Diam, Diy drills just comming onto the market etc, we had two big uns for Rawlbolts, a scaffold pole through the handles and sometimes four blokes hanging on, NO hammer action just raw power, snagging on steel re-enforcement in the concrete would throw all four of us off, and sling the scaffold pole accross the factory.Fun days broken wrists part and parcel of the job

I've got one of those old Wolf's with bench stand here too. Never dared use it yet. 
The cast base has a crack in it too where the column goes, so that's seen better days. Even the little hand held drills are beasts though. That old metal cased Siemens-Schuckert I have is only a small, low RPM affair, but that has some fair old grunt if it snags. The toggle switch is cunningly located so as to be tripped by your knuckles if it does snag and spin though. Not sure whether that was by design or accident, but I'm guessing design.

Drills are noisier too.
If using a simple drill press that has a slotted table or base ....use "G" clamps and a two lengths of 40 mm equal side x 5 mm ally angle with elongated slots in it to take coach bolts so all you do is set the thickness and position of cut , make first cut then undo the clamps to slide the wood along to the next cut point and clamp it down . .
My Record 90 Morticer ( cost about £100 seven years ago on line ) was about as noisy as my Makita 240 volt drill on half trigger but only ran at about 90 rpm which is ideal for the chisels to cut the wood sharp and square. It came with a set of four chisels and auger drills , would run all day if needed .
I mortised some 380 stepped slots on 40 x 75 CLs (or what ever size it is ) they were 3 inches long & went right through the 75 mm side as part of my insulating & lining my log cabin.
Making sure that as the outer planks expanded and contacted due to weather, the inner insulated plasterboard shell & fixed electrics etc. could slide about easily over a thick plastic membrane independent of the expanding /contacting outer shell.

I bought the Axminster attatchment and use it in my Meddings Drilltru. For the money, it works well, though I did have to machine the collar to fit it. Quite happy with it for occasional use with oak and iroko. Came with three chisels, biggest was 1/2".
I have a dedicated morticer - an Axminster one (now sold as the hobby range for £200) and it does a reasonable job, using it with Oak (including some US White Oak that tends to be a bit stringy and difficult) I can use the 1/2" chisel and take without any real problems. I do not use it that much, but when I do it is a very handy tool to have, along with a router table with sliding bed it makes very quick work of mortice and tenon joints.
As it is an induction motor the unit is very quiet and I do not wear any hearing protection with it (and it is a long way from needing any hearing protection)

You got a bargain then,the drill bits are not inclusive of the morticer attachment,fact the chisels are dearer than attchment.

That made me think; Funnily enough, I still have the catalogue from then (04) and the price list has it as separate or with 3 chisels inc. at 34 quid.
