This Balestrini 2 TAO is a used wood saw — more specifically, a tenoning machine — designed to cut precise tenons in timber as part of mortise-and-tenon joinery work. Balestrini is an Italian manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in the woodworking machinery industry, producing equipment for both industrial and craft joinery applications.
The machine offers a broad range of tenon dimensions, accommodating tenon widths from 4 to 100 mm plus thickness, tenon thicknesses from 4 to 30 mm, and tenon depths from 6 to 80 mm, making it suitable for a wide variety of joinery profiles and timber sections. Vertical adjustment reaches 120 mm and horizontal adjustment 60 mm, giving the operator considerable flexibility in positioning the cut relative to the workpiece. The cutter head can also be tilted forward by up to 20°, allowing angled tenon shoulders where the joint geometry requires it.
The table is equipped with a scale fence for mitre positioning, adjustable up to 45°, enabling accurate compound-angle work directly on the machine without the need for additional jigs. The rotation speed of the drum is adjustable, which allows the operator to match cutting conditions to the timber species and profile being worked.
Power is provided by a 3 kW cutter spindle motor, with a separate 0.75 kW motor dedicated to drum rotation. The machine carries serial number 1082 and is located in Belgium.
