Mortise & Tenon Press Release

New line ideal for glass-paneled Mission Style doors from wood and MDF

Amana Tool, manufacturers of high-quality tungsten carbide woodworking tools, today announced its collection of offset mortise-and-tenon bits. The bits, designed by professional woodworker Lonnie Bird, create smooth, clean lines for constructing offset mortise-and-tenon joints for Mission Style glass doors. Each bit features two cutters that cut a tenon with offset shoulders, which enables a quicker and easier way for glass panels to fit in rabbeted doors. The bits are manufactured from exclusive micro-grain carbide for superior cutting performance and tool longevity and are ideal for materials that are 3/4” to 1-1/8” thick.

The offset mortise-and-tenon bits allow woodworkers to easily create classic Mission Style furniture, cabinets and architectural woodwork by reducing the number of steps in the project,” said Lonnie Bird. “I’ve been using Amana’s products for 16 years and have found that they provide the cleanest cuts and longest lasting edges in the industry.
