How does it do in hardwoods? White Oak.

I used the Makita chain mortiser in nothing but oak for my first 10 years as a timber framer. It does fine. Having said that, the chain needs to be kept sharp, and we, as most timber framers working with oak, used green timber. Old dry oak is a beast unto itself and not to be trifled with..

What is the biggest timber it will mount to?

12" but if the timber is bigger nail 2" boards on top and clamp to them

What is the smallest mortise you can make? If you made a single plunge, what is the size of the mortise?

Size depends on thr chain. We use 1/4"
