4.0 out of 5 stars Logman tenon maker, November 25, 2005

By	Bob Coles (Tennessee) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Took some drilling on the base to set the router, and an adjustment. Made a perfect 1" tenon on the second try. More adjustability than I expected, but hey, I can make 4 tenon sizes for less cost than 2 pincel sharpner type tenon makers. Easy to feed and little consern of the work piece catching and thrashing me. Fairly safe set up. I did have to hunt some extra bolts for the table mounting. The instructions are not for beginners. Smallest tenon is a 5/8 and I have found no offering for a 1/2" tenon guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Logman tenon cutter, August 3, 2007

By	Wood Hack (Michigan) - See all my reviews

Works great, was making furniture 1/2 hour after opening the box and starting assembly. I mounted it on a length of 2x8 board which I then clamped in a Stanley portable workbench Stanley 93-292 FatMax Mobile Project Center 33-Inch Tall Clamping Work Bench and Hand Truck with wheels. Now, the whole rig rolls easily out to my driveway so I don't bury the garage with wood chips when I use it. When done, I fold the bench with router and Logman kit all in place and stow it inside.
The only weak point I see are some of the setup and use instructions, but common sense and trial and error can make up for it. One hint I maybe missed in their instructions: to start a piece well and get a good, on-center tenon, they say to first taper the edges of the log, but they don't suggest how. I found it fast and easy to hold the log against the router bit in the Logman, at about 30-45 degrees above horizontal and rotate it a few times, WITHOUT trying to feed it forward through the Logman.
