<p>I've found 3/4'' adequate, for most applications.</p>
<p>1/2'' adequate for 1/2'' stock.</p>
<p> Thru-tenons are a nice touch, for some projects.</p>
<p> YES---I've made tenons using</p>
<ul>
<li>hand held router---better and faster than a hand saw</li>
<li>router table ---best for most applications---cabinet, furniture making and fine wood working</li>
<li>table saw---single blade and dado blades, prior to having a router table</li>
<li>miter slide saw---making rough tenons in 2x…</li>
</ul>

<li>hand saw, chisel and mallet and air operated palm nailer hammer/chisel---rough tenons</li>
<li>band saw for some rough joints in larger timber---such as in 6x6 deck posts---not suitable for fine woodworking</li>
</ul>

<p>John, yeah 3/4" is pretty shallow but I still haven't had any strength issues with the projects I've made- they've all been tables and a baby change table and from my experience, a 3/4" tenon sotting snugly in mortise is far stronger than a dowelled or kregged joint.</p>

<p>can you post a link-to or pic-of your router bit? sounds intriguing! but 3/4" depth sounds pretty shallow (especially in a chair)</p>
<p></p>
<p>edit: just noticed the pic you had in the post - thanks!</p>
