TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in serious

injury. Do not allow persons to operate or assemble this tenon cutter until they have read this manual

and have developed a thorough understanding of how the tenon cutter works.

WARNING:

•A single-speed, gear-driven drill with RPMS of 500 or less is recommended. Exceeding these

RPMS may result in damaged parts.

•Please wear safety glasses, dust mask, heavy-duty work gloves, and other personal protection

items you require when you are using the tenon cutter and drill.

•Do not use this tenon cutter while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or

medication.

•Before installing/removing the tool, the drill should come to a complete stop.

•When cutting tough dry logs, side loading the tool could cause the shank to fail or may result in

blade damage.

•The log must be fixed on a log vise or clamp when starting your drill, failure to do may result in

bodily harm.

For Use With

Attaches to a 1/2in. or larger drill

Construction

Solid aluminum construction with a durable powder-coat finish to

•Handle the blades as you would any sharp object or you will injure yourself or others.

•Re-sharpen or replace the blades as needed.

•Tenon cutter must be maintained by keeping the blades sharp and clear of debris.

BLADE SETTING:

1. Use a hex key (5/32”) to tighten the cap screws.

2. If you feel the distance is not suitable, you can slide the blade in or out. This will change the

diameter by moving the blade. However, if you slide the blade more than ¼” from the face of the

cutout, the blade will be exposed and will not cut the tenon.

3. Make sure the blade gap setting is the same distance apart for both blades (about 1/8’’ ~ 1/4’’),

please note the scale on the unit, this can help to determine the distance set for both blades, see

below image:

4. If your blade feels like it is cutting too fast or stops, then, simply take one blade out and use the

cutter with just a single blade. Make sure to tighten the cap screw with your hex wrench. If possible,

also check the tightness of the screw before starting again and after using for a short period of time.

LOG SETTING:

Ensure the log is fixed in a vise, clamp, or fixture with a V-shaped notch. Timber Tuff’s TMW-77 Log

Vise is the perfect tool for this.

CAUTION:

If the log becomes loose and is not fixed when cutting the tenon, DO NOT drop the drill or try to catch

or grab the log. Stop the drill and remove it from the end of the log. Assemble the log again to ensure its

stabilization.

Obtain the log you want to tenon. Cut it to length and make sure the ends are flat. If the ends are not

flat, the tenon will be crooked.

If the log diameter is larger than the tool can handle, taper the end with a draw shave. See above.

CUTTING TENONS:

Reminder: Before you begin cutting, you should find out what

your tenon length should be. See the below for our recommended

method of judging that length.

The most important thing is that your tenon should not be touching the bottom of the hole. Instead, it

should be hovering just above the bottom.

1) The tenon should be at least 1/8” shorter than the depth of the mortise hole. See the below

diagram:

2) Below image shows a cut mark at 1-1/2’’, it will make a 1’’ tenon with a 1/2’’ shoulder joint. 1/2’’

shoulder + 1’’ straight tenon=1-1/2’’ total cut length:

Page of 8

3) For most projects tenon length will fall between 1’’ to 2’’

CAUTION:

1. When you adjust the blades, the drill power must always be cut off.

2. Please install the tenon cutter into an unplugged 1/2’’ drill carefully and tighten it firmly. Use the

T-Handle to secure the chuck.

3. Square up to the log so that the cutter is flush against the flat face of the log.

4. When drilling the hole or tenon, you could apply your body weight or lean into the drill

5. Pull the trigger to cut the tenon

6. Please wait the drill comes to a stop completely before removing from the log.

7. Make sure that the tool is squared up, this point is very important. If held at an angle the tenon will

be cut angled.

DRILLING HOLES FOR TENONS

1. Before your beginning, you must ensure that your logs have been cut to proper lengths. You have to

cut tenons on the ends of the specified logs. After cut the holes then you may begin assembly of

your piece.

2. Always measure out and mark where the holes will be drilled before beginning.

3. Hold the drill perpendicular and straight to the log.

4. Drill holes in components using a forstner bit at dimensioned locations.

Remark:

The depth of your drilled hole is recommended to be between 1/3 and ½ of the diameter of the log that

you’re working with. You should never drill deeper than ½ of the log diameter. See the example shown

below:

MAINTENANCE:

Please keep the tenon cutter body clean of sap and build-up. Before cleaning, remove the blades from

the tool first. Carefully clean the tool with the solvent or cleaner of your choice. Dry the tool when you

are finished.

The blades are made from high-speed steel, and may form oxidation, kindly note that this is natural

occurrence and it will vary depending on your geographic location, climate and shop environment. You

should periodically clean the blades and apply a thin film of oil. When you re-sharpen the blades, it is

recommended to apply a thin film of oil.
