CUTTING TENONS

For best results, use the highest
powered 1/2" variable speed drill
you have. We also recommend
using a drill that has a side
handle mounted to it for extra
wrist support.

Drill a mortise in a scrap log first
so that you can test the tenon diameter and make any
necessary adjustments before cutting more tenons.

The E-Z Log Tenon Cutters will accept logs up to about 4.5"
in diameter. If your logs are slightly over 4.5" in diameter,
you can use a draw knife, shave, a hand or electric planer,
or any saw to shape the end of the log to fit the E-Z Log
Tenon Cutter.

Be absolutely sure that your log is clamped down so that it
does not move, roll or twist. Unsecured logs can be
dangerous to you and to your equipment. You can purchase
our E-Z Log Strap Clamp, or build your own clamp using the
Free Woodworking Plan that is included with your order. A
strap clamp works well for holding down round stock.
Typical bench-type clamps can mark or damage the log, and
sometimes fail to hold a curved or knotted log securely.

You must first drill a pilot hole into the end of the log. Line

up your drill so that the pilot hole to be
drilled is at the center of the log, and as
level as possible, unless you desire an
angled tenon.

Keep in mind that the cutter will follow
the pilot hole exactly. If the pilot hole is
drilled at an angle, that is how the tenon

will turn out. If the pilot hole is drilled off-center, the tenon
shoulders will not be equal. Most of the time this won't
