Tenon Cutting CMT Router Bit

Tenon Cutting CMT Router Bit

Cut Perfect Tenons... Every Time!

If you have struggled with cutting fitting tenons, here's the perfect solution for you. CMT's tenon-cutting router bit produces perfectly fitting tenons on every board you cut, even when boards vary slightly in thickness. Simply set the distance between the cutters using the included spacers, and you can easily cut tenons from 4,76mm (3/16) to 9,5mm (3/8) thick, up to 27mm (1-1/16) long. This simple-to-use router bit takes the mystery out of achieving the excellent tenon-to-mortise fit required for high-quality joinery.

Woodworkers use lots of different methods to cut tenons for mortise and tenon joinery. I have used a big Forstner bit and my drill press to waste stock, cut them with a dado blade on a table saw, and even used a hand saw. CMTs carbide tipped Tenon cutter will now have me cutting tenons with my router. Get more consistent tenons with less work! Made like one half of a tongue-and-groove cutter, the bit set has four stackable 2-tooth cutters, separated by a variety of spacers (included). Consistently sized tenons from 3/16 in. to 3/8 in. thick and up to 1-1/16 in. long are made easily, since variations in board thickness only affect the position of the tenon, not the thickness.

Make all tenon cuts face down so any variation occurs on the back.
Use this router bit in a table-mounted router only with a miter gauge and backup block, and at speeds less than 12,000 RPM.
