Re: tenoning cutter recommendations?

Shawn If you require a different size cutter Whitehall will manufacture to your specifications. A few years back on a visit to UK I spent a couple of hours in there factory getting a private tour by there director David Hudson, it was fascinating, they also have a beautiful Martin shaper they use for testing.
Jonathan?
Bird,
yes around 39¡± wide and 101¡± tall.
funny that door design was dictated by these used hinges i picked up for $25. by design i mean i only had 2 hinges per door if i had 3 i likely would have chosen different proportions and top rail would not be as wide.
i had paid nearly a grand for the 6 strap hinges for my shop¡¯s main door 20 yrs prior (which is composed of two 9¡¯ x 4.5¡¯ panels) so i jumped at the opportunity, when i saw these for $25. however, i presume they came off a freezer door as the straps were 2¡± offset, i.e. had i used them as they were the face of the door would be 2¡± out of the trim you see around. i had a bend put in the strap to create zero offset and painted them black.
cannot wait to start on my two 12¡¯x6¡¯ panels for the largest opening of this storage room. i have 8 strap hinges custom made locally for that door.

Shawn,
this door is over 8¡¯ tall and 6.5¡¯ wide.

max tenon is 1¡±, here is the rail & stile joinery detail: <image1.jpeg>
the joinery is augmented by floating tenons <image2.jpeg>
so i milled no big traditional tenons. industry uses mostly dowel construction. something to consider.
imran? ? Hi all, I'm looking for a new cutter option for cutting 2 1/4" long tenons with clean, square shoulders, on a F900 sliding shaper, 1 1/4" spindle. Most of the time, the material is 1 3/4" thick mahogany with a 5/8" thick tenon. I'm thinking stacking two insert groovers with a spacer between, or an appropriate adjustable groover. Anybody have any recommendations for cutters? Rangate's adjustable groover looks like a great option, but I don't think it'll cut a tenon longer than 1 1/2", correct? These are for mortise and tenon entry door rails, and I've always done at least 2 1/4" length. Is 1 1/2" long enough for exterior door construction? Thanks for any guidance. Shawn
