The Tenoner Machine: A Powerful Tool for Woodworkers

A tenoner machine is a floor-mounted machine with pairs of cutting heads that are used to shape tenons. Tenons are essentially wooden dowels that are used to join two pieces of wood together. Mortise and tenon joints have been used for thousands of years by carpenters and to this day are still one of the strongest methods of joining pieces of wood together.

The mortice and tenon joint gives such a secure join that it is key to the longevity of the gates we manufacture. The tenoner machine makes it easy to create these joints, even for beginners.

There are two main types of tenoner machines: single-end and double-end. Single-end machines can only cut tenons on one end of a piece of wood, while double-end machines can cut tenons on both ends.

Tenoner machines come in a variety of sizes, so it is important to choose one that is the right size for your needs. If you are only going to be using the machine occasionally, then a smaller machine may be sufficient. However, if you are going to be using the machine regularly, then you will need a larger machine.

Tenoner machines can be a bit expensive, but they are a worthwhile investment for any woodworker who wants to create strong and durable joints.

Here are some of the benefits of using a tenoner machine:

  • It is a very accurate way to cut tenons.
  • It is much faster than cutting tenons by hand.
  • It is a safer way to cut tenons, as there is less risk of injury.
  • It can cut a variety of different tenon profiles.

If you are serious about woodworking, then a tenoner machine is a must-have tool.

Here are some additional tips for using a tenoner machine:

  • Make sure that the wood is properly secured to the table before you start cutting.
  • Use sharp blades to get the best results.
  • Take your time and be careful when cutting the tenons.
  • Clean the machine after use to prevent the build-up of sawdust.
