Kreg MortiseMate 6 mm Loose Tenons are milled from all-natural, solid hardwood for strength and stability in loose tenon joinery, so each joint relies on a dense, consistent core that supports long-term structural performance. The 6 mm x 20 mm x 1.5 inch size defines a compact tenon that suits smaller-scale joints in furniture, cabinetmaking, and casing, helping projects stay proportionate while still gaining solid reinforcement in the mortise. These loose tenons are described as perfect for use in furniture, cabinetmaking, casing, and more, which positions them as a general-purpose solution across common woodworking builds that share 6 mm mortises. Their solid hardwood composition focuses on strength and stability, allowing joints to be machined and clamped with confidence during the glue-up window. Together, these details define a dedicated tenon option for builders who want repeatable results from 6 mm mortise joints.
These Kreg MortiseMate 6 mm Loose Tenons are designed for precise fit with 6 mm diameter mortising cutters, so the cutter size and tenon size work together to define the joint geometry from the start. That fit relationship helps align mating parts as the tenon bridges the mortises, supporting square faces and edges when clamping casework or furniture frames. The 6 mm x 20 mm x 1.5 inch hardwood size targets mortises sized to that footprint, simplifying layout because the tenon length and thickness are known values during marking and drilling. Being approximately 1/16 inch shorter than the nominal length adds an intentional glue pocket, which keeps excess adhesive from blocking full insertion and allows the joint to draw tight under clamp pressure.
Kreg MortiseMate 6 mm Loose Tenons are described as perfect for use in furniture, cabinetmaking, casing, and more, so they are positioned for typical woodworking assemblies built around 6 mm mortises. Their classification as fasteners within dowels and biscuits, and as dowel rods and pins, places them in the same role as traditional dowels or biscuits while using a rectangular loose tenon form. The compatibility with 6 mm mortises cut with the Kreg MortiseMate Loose Tenon Jig directly connects these tenons to that jig-driven workflow, aligning mortise dimensions, depth settings, and joint layout with this specific tenon size. Because the tenons are milled from all-natural, solid hardwood, they bring a wood-to-wood interface that blends into common furniture and cabinet materials, supporting machining, sanding, and finishing sequences that treat the joint area like surrounding stock.
The fluted surfaces on these Kreg MortiseMate 6 mm Loose Tenons are specified for glue retention, so adhesive can stay within the grooves along the tenon rather than being pushed entirely ahead of the part. That groove structure supports an even glue film between tenon and mortise walls, which is important for consistent bond strength along the joint. The approximate 1/16 inch shorter length than the nominal mortise length creates a built-in void for excess glue, which helps the tenon seat fully and allows clamping pressure to close gaps instead of fighting trapped adhesive. Their solid hardwood construction focuses on strength and stability, giving the joint a dense core that can handle machining of the surrounding workpiece without compromising the internal connector. Designed for precise fit with 6 mm diameter mortising cutters, these tenons link directly to tool selection, which reduces variation between joints when projects call for multiple identical connections across furniture, cabinetmaking, or casing runs.
Kreg MortiseMate 6 mm Loose Tenons measure 6 mm x 20 mm x 1.5 inch, so they are suited to mortises laid out around that footprint in smaller to mid-size woodworking joints.
Kreg MortiseMate 6 mm Loose Tenons are milled from all-natural, solid hardwood, providing a wood-to-wood joint core that supports strength, stability, and typical machining and finishing workflows.
Kreg MortiseMate 6 mm Loose Tenons use fluted sides for glue retention, helping adhesive stay distributed along the tenon and mortise walls to support a more consistent bond.
Kreg MortiseMate 6 mm Loose Tenons are approximately 1/16 inch shorter than nominal length, leaving space in the mortise for glue so the tenon can seat fully under clamp pressure.
Kreg MortiseMate 6 mm Loose Tenons are compatible with 6 mm mortises cut with the Kreg MortiseMate Loose Tenon Jig, aligning tenon dimensions to that jig setup.
Kreg MortiseMate 6 mm Loose Tenons are described as perfect for use in furniture, cabinetmaking, casing, and more, covering many projects built around 6 mm mortises.
Kreg MortiseMate 6 mm Loose Tenons tie directly to 6 mm diameter mortising cutters and the Kreg MortiseMate Loose Tenon Jig, which connects tool choice to the joint component from the outset. Their 6 mm x 20 mm x 1.5 inch hardwood format, fluted for glue retention and slightly shortened to allow space in the mortise for glue, is aimed at builders shaping furniture, cabinetmaking, casing, and other assemblies around 6 mm mortise joinery. Selecting this tenon profile aligns project layouts with a defined, repeatable connector that supports strength, stability, and efficient loose tenon joinery.
