Description
Tippett's patent "consists in constructing a tenoning tool which may be used in an ordinary mortising machine, and thus save the expense of two machines - the tool being so constructed as to be adjustable, both as to the size of the tenon as well as to its shape, and is so arranged as not to require the turning of the cutters (as is common in tenoning machines) to finish a tenon..."
