No, it's designed for use in a handheld electric drill rather than a drill press.
The 1/4" through 3/8" cutters produce tenons up to 1" long, while the 7/16" and 1/2" cutters reach up to 1 3/8".
Use the plug gauge built into the shank to set the mini tenon cutter's blade before each cut, so repeat tenons come out the same length.
