How a Mortise and Tenon Machine Works
A mortise and tenon machine cuts the interlocking joint used in chairs, tables and frames: one station chisels the mortise (hole) while another forms the tenon (tongue) on the rail end, so parts assemble square and strong without metal fixings.
This CNC tenoning machine is a versatile and high-precision woodworking tool, expertly designed to create a variety of joinery. It effortlessly handles the production of square tenons, angled oval tenons, round tenons, and oval tenons, making it an indispensable asset for diverse woodworking projects.
