8465.10.00.05 - Tenoners

This HTS category, 8465.10.00.05, specifically covers tenoners. Tenoners are woodworking machines designed for creating tenons (projections on the end of a piece of wood designed to fit into a mortise) and mortises (recesses or slots designed to receive a tenon). These machines are essential in furniture making and joinery, enabling the precise shaping of wood components for assembly.

Within the broader category of "Machines which can carry out different types of machining operations without tool change between such operations," tenoners fall under woodworking machines that are either used or rebuilt. This distinguishes them from other woodworking machines that might require tool changes or are new. The sibling category, 8465.10.00.15, "Other," would encompass woodworking machines that perform multiple machining operations without tool changes but are not tenoners.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 8465.10.00.05 is determined by the specific function of the machine as a tenoner, regardless of whether it is new, used, or rebuilt. The emphasis is on its capability to perform the distinct tenoning operation without the need for interchanging tools.
