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.

Re: tenoning cutter recommendations?

Thanks Imran, nice work. I mostly do traditional mortise and tenon doors and windows, but sometimes do floating tenon, depending on the situation. Most of my clients are in arts-and-crafts or Victorian homes, and the traditional approach fits well in those situations. My sash cutters give a 1 1/2" tenon length, so mortise and tenon sashes are quick and easy, and my mortiser is a 2,000 pound cast iron beast, hold the pedal down and watch is chop out a 5/8" mortise without a second thought. Two rebate cutters from Felder would be perfect for door rail tenons, but they're out of stock, one to two month lead time. The search continues...

Re: tenoning cutter recommendations?
Hey Dave, pallet boards they are. My friend was remodeling his restaurant and had a plan to do pallet boards everywhere. After doing an accent wall, he decided against doing the whole restaurant and gave me the rest of his boards, after paying someone to process them all. My neighbor’s house is 10’ from that wall, so I tried to make it quiet for him by building that wall up a bit. After framing and insulating the cavities, I hung resilient channel to put 1/2” airspace between the studs and my interior sheathing. Then I put 1/2” ply, then 5/8” sheet rock, then the pallet boards. Standing outside with my ear against the shop wall, I hear a gentle hum, seems to work! The idler motor sits on the floor right beneath it. I’ve got four 3phase machines, yet only one outlet for the converter, been meaning to add more so I don’t have to unplug any time I go to a different 3 phase machine. Will someone please come kick me in the rear and tell me to just do it already? -Shawn

Re: tenoning cutter recommendations?
That is an awesome looking mortiser. Thanks for sharing. ? I would definitely check with rangate. Maybe it is not an issue for you but thought of one last thing. just ensure that the height of the cutter is such that you can lower it below table and get your tenon. Otherwise you will need to raise your stock. ? Imran ?

Re: tenoning cutter recommendations?
Those are perfect actually, they’ll do a tenon about 2 3/4” long. My shaper has a throat opening of 320mm, but with the fence on, 230 is max diameter. I’ve got two of those cutters in the cart at Scott+Sargeant, waiting for a response from Rangate. I’ve heard too many good things about them to not give them a shot first. Yes, it’s an old oscillating chisel mortiser, a Wysong and Miles 284.?Here’s a pic:
Thanks again Imran, Shawn

Shawn,
this door is over 8’ tall and 6.5’ wide.
max tenon is 1”, here is the rail & stile joinery detail:
the joinery is augmented by floating tenons
so i milled no big traditional tenons. industry uses mostly dowel construction. something to consider.

Re: tenoning cutter recommendations?
this is not your only option but a set of 220mm rebate heads will do nearly 3” tenon.
