The cutter works much like a hand-held pencil sharpener; you either rotate the workpiece while pressing it into the cutter body or you can rotate the tool on the workpiece.

Veritas Tapered Tenon Cutters
To make simple, fast work of mortise-and-tenon joinery, this system uses power tenon cutters and matching countersinks (sold separately) to produce strong flush-fitting joints in round or dimensioned stock. The cutters produce a symmetrical tenon with a 60° tapered shoulder that fits neatly in a countersunk socket.
