What is BeadLOCK joinery?
Loose tenon or floating tenon joinery is a great choice for constructing all types of frames. A BeadLOCK mortise is comprised of a series of precisely spaced overlapping holes. A Bead-LOCK loose tenon with a “corrugated” shape matching the mortises is inserted between the two workpieces.
What are floating tenons?
Floating tenons, which are sometimes called loose tenons, differ from integral tenons (traditional) in that they incorporate a separate piece of wood for the tenon. The tenon stock is inserted into a mortise to form the ‘tenon side’ of a mortise and tenon joint.

What is a beadlock wheel?
Beadlock wheels have an extra ring piece that fits along the perimeter of the wheel face. When installing, you slip the tire lip in between the bead and the bead lock ring and tighten with a series of heavy-duty bolts. By doing so, you lock the bead into place.
How long should a loose tenon be?
1-1/4″
Plus, the hollow-chisel mortiser doesn’t put the kind of lateral strain on your work that hand-mortising does. So a 3/8″-wide mortise works with machines. Tenon length: The general rule is that the minimum tenon length is five times its thickness. So a 1/4″-thick tenon should be 1-1/4″ long.

Why is beadlock illegal?
-Beadlock wheels are heavy because there is more metal and more equipment. -Beadlocks may not be legal for on-road use. In theory, two or more sequential beadlock bolts could break, and the beadlock ring could partially or wholly leave the rest of the wheel.
