Profile

Make Extra-Strong Interior & Exterior Doors With These Exclusive Cutters!

Traditionally, wooden doors were made with extended tenons for added strength and durability. Modern "cope & stick" shaper cutters do not allow an extended tenon to be made. This is why we offer our exclusive Extended Tenon Shaper Cutters for Interior and Exterior Doors. The extended tenon provides additional glue surface, extra cross-grain stability for joint strength, and room for the joint to be pinned, ensuring the door will stay together even if the glue bond fails.

These cutters are designed to work with and be a perfect match to our Rail & Stile Shaper Cutters for Interior and Exterior Doors, allowing you to make extended tenons on the end of your rails up to 1-7/8" long. With a 3/4" bore these cutters are designed for shapers with a 3/4" spindle and can be used on your 1/2" spindle shaper with a pair of T-Bushing Adapters. The corresponding mortise will need to be made in a separate operation by traditional means. Available in both Ogee and Shaker profiles these cutters will help you produce doors that are as strong as they are beautiful.

  • Works with doors of any thickness
  • Thick micro-grain carbide tips
  • Three wing design with special rake angle for super-smooth cuts
  • Non-stick coating keeps tools running cool and makes them easy to clean
  • 3/4" bore
  • 4-1/2" cutting diameter
  • Makes tenons up to 1-7/8" in length

Frequently Asked Questions

What bore size are these extended tenon shaper cutters?

They have a 3/4" bore and are designed for shapers with a 3/4" spindle. Browse the full Shape-Up shaper cutter line.

Can I use these on a 1/2" spindle shaper?

Yes. They can be used on a 1/2" spindle shaper with a pair of T-Bushing Adapters. Find them among our shaper cutters and accessories.

How long of a tenon can these cutters make?

They make extended tenons on the end of your rails up to 1-7/8" long, far longer than a standard cope-and-stick joint.

Why use an extended tenon on a door?

The extended tenon provides additional glue surface, extra cross-grain stability for joint strength, and room for the joint to be pinned, so the door stays together even if the glue bond fails.

What profiles are available?

These cutters are available in both Ogee and Shaker profiles, so you can match the look of your door design.

What is the cutting diameter?

The cutters have a 4-1/2" cutting diameter and a three-wing design with a special rake angle for super-smooth cuts.

Do these cutters make the mortise too?

No. These cutters make the extended tenon on the rail. The corresponding mortise will need to be made in a separate operation by traditional means.

What material are the cutters made from?

They use thick micro-grain carbide tips and feature a non-stick coating that keeps the tools running cool and makes them easy to clean.

Will these work with thick doors?

Yes. They are designed to work with doors of any thickness, making them suitable for both interior and exterior door construction. See our Insert Pro shaper cutters for more options.

Are these meant to match rail and stile cutters?

Yes. They are designed to be a perfect match to our Rail & Stile Shaper Cutters for Interior and Exterior Doors, so the extended tenon aligns with the cope-and-stick joint.
