Q: What size tenon cutter do I need for chair rungs?
The 9/16" size, historically used for chair rungs, is available individually; this five-piece set covers 1/4" through 1/2" for finer work such as trellis or lattice members.

Option:
Choose an option to view item availability.
We developed these smaller-diameter tenon cutters for use with small stock.
Available in six cutting diameters from 1/4" to 9/16". The 9/16" tenon is the size used historically for chair rungs. The other sizes (1/4" to 1/2") are useful in many areas, e.g., members within trellis or lattice work. The set of five includes all cutters from 1/4" to 1/2".
All sizes have a straight blade that cuts a 60° shoulder tenon (not a radiused shoulder tenon as our larger Veritas Power Tenon Cutters make). The 1/4", 5/16" and 3/8" sizes cut tenons up to 1" long, and the 7/16", 1/2" and 9/16" sizes cut tenons up to 1 3/8" long.
A plug gauge is included for easy blade setting. 3/8" round shank.
For use in an electric drill, not a drill press.

No, it's designed for use in a handheld electric drill rather than a drill press.
The 1/4" through 3/8" cutters produce tenons up to 1" long, while the 7/16" and 1/2" cutters reach up to 1 3/8".
Use the plug gauge built into the shank to set the mini tenon cutter's blade before each cut, so repeat tenons come out the same length.
