Tenoner blades

[rich1911]

Just got some blades for my Whitehill tenon block.

The fit of the limiter on the locating pins is a nice close fit. There's no slack.

The fit of the cutter blade is a loose fit so the blade doesn't sit dead square unless you hold it in exactly the right place while you tighten the wedge block up.

That doesn't seem right to me?

Nope, something is wrong. Try swapping them around, if the limiters are now slack in the cutter position, the block pins are badly worn and need replacing, if the cutter is slack in the limiter position the cutters are wrong.

OK I'll ask. What's a tenon block please?
Pics appreciated.

They fit on a tenoner to cut tenons. The popular machines for smaller shops and a Multico and the Secgwick

Well those blades were ground on blanks that were, well, dung. I returned them for a refund, which, fair play, was given, no questions asked.

I had a look elsewhere and I can thoroughly recommend Brigg Taylor at www.profiledesigntooling.com

Fast turn around, a lot cheaper than the other place, blades fit perfectly, no slop.

About half the price of Whitehill too.
