These 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 – either rotate the workpiece while pressing it into the cutter body or you can rotate the tool while holding the workpiece stationary.

Works equally well in soft, green or hard woods. The size given for each cutter is the minimum tenon diameter it will cut. The maximum is ½" (12.75mm) greater, over a total tenon length of 2-1/2" (63.5mm). Some longer tenons may require cutting the major diameter with a larger cutter and then finishing with a smaller cutter. If you have all five sizes you will be able to cut any diameter tenon up to 1-1/8" (28.5mm) in diameter and as long as 2" (50mm) in a single operation.
