Rockler 3/8 Beadlock Tenon Bit - Precision-Machined Carbide Flutes Router Bits - 1/2" Shank Tenon Router Bit for Minimal Vibration - Ultra-Fine Grade K20 Tungsten - Marking Tools for Woodworking

Very easy to use

I purchased this bit about 6 years ago and never used it. This week, I had to repair a chair from the 1970s for a neighbor, a neighbor that had tried to repair it himself and couldn't quite get it to work. I pulled out my BeadLock and noticed that I was completely out of tenon stock. I went to my scrap pile, ripped out some of 3/8" strips. In about 10 minutes, I had a heap of tenon stock that would have cost me the same as the cost of the bit. The great thing about cutting your own tenons is that you can cut them from the same species of wood that your project is. Set up in a router table is quick and easy. The cutter cuts clean, no sanding is needed. The bit is worth the price and I will be purchasing the 1/4" and 1/2" tenon bits in the near future.

I needed more instruction. I ripped the correct height and width, but when I put it through my router table it shot it through. I even lowered the speed. Didn’t help.
