Tenon cutter

[its_virgil]

Cutting tenons for kitless pens is a very time consuming, for me at least. The tenon is best when a cylinder...i.e. parallel sides. Somewhat difficult I have found out. Also; they must be spot on diameter wise for the threads to work well.

I recently purchased a tenon cutting tool made by Jim Hinze and sold at Turners Warehouse . One of the best tool additions I have made for kitless pens.

Could not figure out how to include a video so it can be seen by clicking on the Google drive link below.

Link worked for me. I just cut the tenons on the metal lathe.

Didn't work for me on Safari, but did on another browser.

Simple enough. Nice!

Seems like a good solution if you don't have a metal lathe.

Cool specialty tool! Carbide cutter I assume?

That's way cheaper than a metal lathe!

Pro tip: Buy one for each size tenon you need and just leave them set up. STILL cheaper than a metal lathe

I just picked one of these up and it's great! They were out of stock on Jim Hinzes shop so I emailed and asked if he planned on stocking them again. He made one up for just me.

Realy saves a lot of time and makes a very clean tenon, if you don't have a metal lathe.
