Ten′on-tru′ing ma-chine′.


Wood-working.) A machine for truing or sizing the tenons of spokes and cutting the tenons to the desired length at the same operation. It has an upright spindle with two cutter-heads, the upper one being adjustable to vary the thickness of the tenons.

The spoke is laid on a small sliding-table, pushed forward to a circular saw, which cuts off the end of the tenon, and then passed between two cutter-heads, which bring the tenon to the proper size. A rest on the outer end of the sliding table is adjustable up and down for different sizes of spokes.
