Im happy this morning to have used my new tennon head on my Robland X31 sliding table I bought a second hand tennon head only one part and flipped the piece of timber over to get the 2nd cut. I have a few questions you may be able to help with
- What is the best way to stop tearout on the back edge of the tennon. (i've only been using a scrap piece of wood)
- The Robland X31 has a slot mortisiser and creates round slots. Do I make the square ends of the cut the tennon shorter and round over the ends a bit to let it slip in? i.e is the gap top and bottom really a problem as long as I have a tight fit side to side?
