Gave the blade a new bevel and a 30* microbevel, and it cuts like a pencil sharpener!<br /><br />I have fidled and farted with the hollow auger, but I am pretty sure I have too much of the iron poking out. And changing tenon sizes means more fidling with the iron all over again.<br /><br />I picked up the hollow auger in order to build cedar " dog cages" to fit around our fruit trees. I ripped the cedar into 2x2's and built the square cage with 3/4" holes and tenons. In the end I hand cut 3/4" square tenons and shaped them with a chisel. Once I banged them into the round mortises and wedged them, they looked pretty good.<br /><br />Still, I'd like to learn the "mysteries" of this tool and use it for its intended purpose......Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756208060074565924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1627331616161641107.post-68946650070105094382017-03-24T18:22:59.411-03:002017-03-24T18:22:59.411-03:00Hi Edward

My days of using the kitchen table are over i'm afraid :-)<br />It would be a lot easier to explain visually than in words, so hang in there it will be forthcoming...promise<br />Meanwhile, if you do not have a proper spoke pointer, get one. LV has the red one shown in this post in clearances right now, I just bought it :-)<br /><br />Bob, who has tools stashed everywhere and need badly to do something about them...Valley Woodworkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322487171914484954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1627331616161641107.post-32869625993907899982017-03-24T17:59:13.380-03:002017-03-24T17:59:13.380-03:00Hi Robert,

I did hone a 30* bevel on it, but have no idea how much should be poking into the " corner" of the desired hole.<br /><br />I was fooling around with common 2 x4 trying to get a 3/4" round tennon, but I think a beaver would have left cleaner toothmarks.<br /><br />So just how much iron should be poking out?<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Edward in VancouverAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756208060074565924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1627331616161641107.post-40545786075701369242017-03-24T12:53:36.900-03:002017-03-24T12:53:36.900-03:00Hi Matt

That must be a joy to turn with all that excess metal off center from the hole you are working on.<br />Do the LV ones use hand or electrical drill power? Or both?Ralph Boumenothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10606484453109932074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1627331616161641107.post-46431510725421054682017-03-24T02:22:00.979-03:002017-03-24T02:22:00.979-03:00Very interesting as usual, Bob.

I think Veritas sold lots of the tapered tenon cutters after Schwarz wrote about "stick furniture".Matt McGranehttp://tinyshopww.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
