Kreg MortiseMate 10 mm loose tenons are all-natural, solid hardwood pieces that create strength and stability in loose tenon joinery, so joints in furniture, cabinetmaking, casing, and similar projects stay structurally solid under load. Each tenon is designed for a precise fit with 10 mm diameter mortising cutters, which helps the joint register accurately and reduces slop that can twist or rack during assembly. The 10 mm x 24 mm x 1.5 inch size gives a defined bearing surface inside the mortise, so the glued area is consistent from part to part. A fluted surface holds glue along the tenon length, promoting an even bond throughout the mortise and helping the joint cure without starved spots. Each tenon is manufactured approximately 1/16 inch shorter than the nominal length, which leaves room in the mortise for glue and reduces hydraulic pressure when the parts are pressed together.
These Kreg 10 mm loose tenons are designed for a precise fit with 10 mm diameter mortising cutters, so mortises cut to that diameter align closely with the tenon profile and help keep joint registration predictable across multiple assemblies. The 10 mm x 24 mm x 1.5 inch measurement defines how deep and long the mortise needs to be, guiding layout when spacing multiple joints along a rail or stile. Because each tenon is approximately 1/16 inch shorter than its nominal length, the mortise depth can match the stated dimension while still leaving a glue pocket, which helps the tenon seat fully without backing out. Fluted surfaces on the hardwood tenons hold glue in small channels, encouraging even distribution as the tenon is pressed into the mortise and supporting bond continuity around the joint perimeter.
Kreg MortiseMate 10 mm loose tenons are intended for loose tenon joinery, so they serve as the internal connector between matching mortises in mating parts. The solid hardwood construction provides a dense core inside the joint, which is important in furniture applications where rails, legs, and stretchers carry everyday loads. In cabinetmaking, the 10 mm x 24 mm x 1.5 inch profile allows these tenons to bridge face frame or case joints where a fixed-dimension connector simplifies repeat runs. The tenons are described as perfect for use in furniture, cabinetmaking, casing, and more, which positions them for jobs ranging from interior trim joints to shop-built frames that benefit from a concealed mechanical connection. Compatibility with 10 mm mortises cut with the Kreg MortiseMate Loose Tenon Jig ties these tenons directly to that jig, supporting workflows built around that specific mortising process.
The defined 10 mm diameter fit and 24 mm length of these loose tenons mean that every mortise can be cut to a known size, supporting consistent spacing and depth across multiple identical joints in a run of cabinet parts or furniture components. Because the tenons are approximately 1/16 inch shorter than nominal length, extra glue volume can live inside the mortise without preventing the parts from pulling tight, which helps the joint close fully at the shoulders. The fluted design along the tenon length increases glue retention, as those grooves act as channels that keep adhesive distributed rather than forcing it entirely outward, supporting strength where the hardwood meets the mortise walls. Solid hardwood material provides stability at the center of the joint, so the glued connection between workpieces has a reliable substrate to grip. When used with 10 mm mortises from the Kreg MortiseMate Loose Tenon Jig, the matched sizing helps reduce fitting adjustments and supports repeatable assemblies.
Kreg MortiseMate 10 mm loose tenons are milled from all-natural, solid hardwood, giving the joint a dense, stable core that supports strength and stability in loose tenon joinery.
Each tenon measures 10 mm x 24 mm x 1.5 inch and is approximately 1/16 inch shorter than its nominal length, which defines mortise size and leaves room for glue.
The fluted design on the tenons retains glue along their length, promoting even adhesive distribution inside the mortise and supporting a continuous bond for the joint.
These loose tenons are designed for a precise fit with 10 mm diameter mortising cutters, so mortises cut at that diameter align with the tenon size for accurate joints.
These tenons are compatible with 10 mm mortises cut using the Kreg MortiseMate Loose Tenon Jig, aligning them with that specific jig-based mortising workflow.
Kreg MortiseMate 10 mm loose tenons are described as perfect for use in furniture, cabinetmaking, casing, and similar projects that rely on loose tenon joinery.
Kreg MortiseMate 10 mm loose tenons provide a solid hardwood core, a precise 10 mm diameter fit, and fluted glue-retaining sides, giving loose tenon joints in furniture, cabinetmaking, and casing predictable strength. The 10 mm x 24 mm x 1.5 inch sizing and approximately 1/16 inch reduced length define practical mortise dimensions while preserving glue space. Compatibility with 10 mm mortises cut using the Kreg MortiseMate Loose Tenon Jig streamlines selection when that jig is already in use. Matching these tenons to 10 mm cutters supports consistent alignment and repeatable assemblies across project runs.
