Veritas 5/8" Tapered Tenon Cutter

Veritas 5/8" Tapered Tenon Cutter

Veritas Tapered Tenon Cutter For putting tapered tenons on turnings, dowels or rustic furniture components Straight-edged blade tapers the ends Size given is the minimum tenon diameter it will cut; the maximum is 1/2″ greater 5/8″ size will cover most tenoning requirements for typical chair-making   Veritas tapered tenon cutters will put tapered tenons on the tips of turnings, dowels or rustic furniture components to fit into tapered holes; for example, legs and spindles on a Windsor chair. Use the cutter like a hand-held pencil sharpener; you either rotate the workpiece while pressing it into the cutter body or you can rotate the tool on the workpiece. Works equally well in soft, green or hard woods. Although the body design is similar to our Veritas dowel and tenon cutters, the cut is quite different. When a tenon is fed through the body, the straight-edged blade tapers the ends, whereas the curved blade on our dowel cutters cuts cylindrical tenons with a radiused shoulder.
