Log Furniture Tenon Machine
Log Furniture Tenon Machine
This is the tenon machine I use for all my log furniture.
You can see it did not cost me the $15,000 I was
quoted to build one, but it makes very clean and
accurate tenons. It is set up with three pulleys and a
foot actuator. It is hinged so that when not in use it
can be flipped up out of the way.

The drill motor is a 7.5 amp worm drive Milwaukee. It is
a two speed 300-1200 rpms. The 300 speed is just
right for the Shraeder cutter heads.
The clamping system is an adapted
crown mold clamp from a fifteen inch
Hitatchi Mitre Saw.
The drill sled runs in a channel and sits
on four rollers reclaimed from an over
head garage door.
