Tenon Cutter

Tenon Cutter
For Woodworkers. Can I use tenon cutters with a portable drill?

My husband just purchased a 12 Volt DeWalt DC759 portable drill – 1/2″ VSR. Must have two speeds as it states 0-450/min 0-1500/min RPM.
I would like to know if it is possible to use tenon cutters ( 1″ and 2″ sizes) with this drill. Same goes for the 1″ and 2″ frostner bits. All of the cutters state “use with electric drill” I’m hoping a portable qualifies.
If yes, will it run my (I mean his!) drill down really quickly?
If no, what about an impact gun? 7.5A 1/2′ square drive, 2100 RPM.
And finally last resort, anyone have any experience using the hand cranked ol’ fashioned type drills? I’ve seen one at Lee Valley Tools that is supposed to do the job.
FYI: I’m looking to try my hand at making a few pieces of rustic furniture – as well as some railing for the cabin’s loft. Please note, I have zero woodworking experience, this will be learning experience for me. THANK-YOU!!!

yep have a 1/2 vsr i use to cut tendons but a 2 ” might give you a fit, i cut mine at 3/4 ”
are you building beds? they take a 2″ chairs take 3/4″
a electric drill will give you more torque
yes a hand drill or auger will work with bits thats how they use to drill holes,
