I just learned something. I had never heard of putting a chamfer on my tenons.   Recent ly I have had a couple snap off as he demonstrated.   I will have to see if this works for me.  My guess is it will.   Smiley

Good video, that is the way I was taught to make tenons. I only have one set of jaws that are straight bore.
I use Vicmarc and Oneway chucks, they both need to have tenons bevelled to hold properly. And Yes, I have had some pop out of the chuck,  Angry, learning opportunity.

Same here. I'm still trying to figure out why it works since the break would occur above the chamfer.

Thanks Ron/Len.  Everything I have learned has been from videos.  I have added Stuart to my favorites.  I watched vid after vid last nite.  He makes it very clear!  Something I need to go back and watch again is when he works on the inside of the bowl he cuts only with the tip and trailing edge.  I have seen the tool rotated more and cutting with the tip and leading edge!  Also his 40/40 grind on his bowl gouge.  Good Stuff!

It makes no sense to me either, the physics don't work.
The only thing I can see it helping with is, eliminating a sharp edge that could catch on the jaw and potentially start a split as the blank is already coming out of the chuck.
Just my two cents

It may also help with not having the dovetail so long that you are actually grabbing with the straight part below the dovetail.

The 'chamfer' is another word for dove tail. Stuart uses the Vicmark chucks, and the dove tail angle is about 7 degrees. I use them also. This chamfer only works with dove tail jaws, and the angle on the tenon or recess has to match the angle of the chuck jaws. A shoulder is added stability. When using a recess, you have the shoulder on the inside. He does really clamp down tight on them. Also, it looked like the one tenon he broke off was black locust. The more brittle woods do break off more easily than the more medium or softer woods, which will 'bend but not break' better.

No, it's not.  Huh They are almost opposites
Look at 12:03 into the video. He points his pencil at the chamfered (outside) edge of the tenon. This is the confusing part I am referring to.
I fully understand the properties of using dovetail jaws, but I can see no real benefit to chamfering the edge of the tenon.

I'm confused too. How does adding a chamfer to the tenon make it stronger? I understand why adding a shoulder makes a tenon stronger.

Maybe my definition of chamfer is wrong. Isn't a chamfer when a 90 degree edge is divided into two 45 degree edges?

He may be using the chamfer to reduce the thickness of the dovetail so the outer edge of the tenon isn't resting on the flat behind the jaw's dovetail.

If I remember right he also mentions that with the chamfer it may come out of the chuck but not break the tenon so it would be re-chucked.  Perhaps the chamfer makes this possible.  giving it a chance to "escape" as opposed to break.
Any thoughts on that theory?

It doesn't make it stronger, just less likley to break
