Which drill bit and reamer do I need for a Veritas tenon cutter?

It depends on which Veritas tenon cutter you have:

Straight tenon cutter (05J41): the rounded shoulder at the base of the tenon is not meant to go into the hole, only the straight tenon. So all you need is a drill bit for the hole
Tapered tenon cutter (05J46): cuts an angled tenon, and there is a matching reamer that bores the hole at the same angle

For the straight tenon cutter an ordinary Forstner bit of the same size works well, for example a 3/4" bit for a 3/4" cutter. Regular wood drill bits of the same size work too.
