Comparison of cut made by our tapered and regular tenon cutters
Description
Produces symmetrical tenon with 60° tapered shoulder that fits neatly in countersunk socket
Main blade shapes tenon and shoulder; finishing blade smoothes tenon to consistent diameter and cuts slight relief at base of shoulder to ensure it seats flush
Finishing blade's cutting depth is adjustable; can fine-tune tenon diameter for close fit
Cutting capacity for all sizes is 1-1/2" greater than tenon diameter
Sizes 5/8" to 1" cut 2" long tenons (not including tapered shoulder) and are for use in drills with 3/8" or larger chuck; sizes 1-1/4" to 2" cut 3" tenons and are for use in drills with 1/2" or larger chuck
All have hex shanks and anodized bodies and can be used in electric drill or hand brace (not for use in drill press)
