Shop Lee Valley Veritas Power Tenon Cutters

For anyone building rustic furniture, our aluminum-body tenon cutters will cut smooth, perfect tenons with radiused shoulders. Cutters are designed to run vibration-free while being driven by an electric drill, yet still yield the same accuracy when used with a hand brace. The anodized body has been balanced to eliminate vibration and an integral level vial makes in-line cutting more accurate.

To increase safety, the back end of the blade is contoured to avoid anything extending beyond the revolving aluminum body. The body has a built-in honing guide for easy sharpening of blades on a drill-press mounted drum sander. The blade is adjustable to cut the exact size of tenon required in both dry and green wood.

Available in eight cutting diameters. Sizes 5/8″ to 1″ cut 2 3/4″ long tenons and are typically used for most rustic furniture. Sizes 1 1/4″ to 2″ will cut 4 1/4″ long tenons and are used for larger structural connections, such as bed frame to post, or fence rail to post. All sizes have hex shanks; sizes 5/8″ to 1″ are for use in an electric drill with a 3/8″ (or larger) chuck. Sizes 1 1/4″ to 2″, which require more torque to drive, are for use in larger electric drills with a 1/2″ (or larger) chuck. (Not for use in a drill press.) Patented. Made in Canada.
