This might help maybe.
Looking them up it says the chisels should be extremely sharp,and should be sharpened by an expert
but it does tell how to do it!
Some of the models are even hydraulic on the chisel push.

Never used one i use style and rail type routing for that type work!

My brother owns a Delta mortise machine BUT it is a professional machine and not an attachment. BUT I do know his drills and chisels for it are extremely sharp. I have used it a lot working in his shop. Sorry.

a piece o' 5/4 x 12 x 8' rough cut poplar for the task only cost me $32.00 from a local saw mill.
It is much more gratifyin' to build somethin yerself than to jist go lay down the benjamins
for somethin made with extreem lack o' quality.

Not to meantion that my door will not be the same as anyone elses.

I realize that the sharpenin process has to be , as you say, "professional" but i got the skills to build the nessecary
jig(s)and use either my drill press or my lathe to accomplish the task.

I have a spelling checker
It came with my PC
It highlights for my review
Mistakes I cannot sea.

I ran this poem thru it
I'm sure your pleased to no
Its letter perfect in it's weigh
My checker told me sew.
