Tenon Cutters are what you use to taper the end of a piece of wood to fit into the mortise (hole). Tenons are a common method of joining pieces in log furniture making...as well as building log or rustic style railings.
Tenon Cutters are now available in a Router powered style as well as the Drill powered style.
In the "drill powered" tenon cutters, which look a bit like oversize pencil sharpeners, we currently offer two brands of professional quality tenon cutters.
These "drill powered" tenon cutters
feature a 60 degree shoulder (see photo at right).
All 3 brands will work in our Drill
Carriage and Clamping devices to allow you high volume
capabilities in your log and rustic furniture building.
The "router powered" tenon maker is a more portable unit that is both easier on the pocketbook and suitable for both weekend log furniture maker and professionals. (the designer of the LogMan Tenon Maker is a full time log furniture maker).
We have a great book and video (or DVD) combination on log furniture building which shows the tenon cutters in use. You can view additional information on these at: Log Furniture Books
And we have a good article on log furniture tools, including tenon cutters at: Log Furniture Tools Article.
All in all...if you're looking to build log, rustic, willow, twig furniture, you're sure to find what you need at Log Home Store.
