| Completed Tenon Jig |
Using the Tenon Jig on the table saw. |
| |
|
This handy tenon jig was designed to securely hold
the workpiece for cutting tenons on the table saw or the drill press. A
combination of T-Track, hold down clamps, toggle clamps, and stop blocks
permits you to clamp the work piece in the desired position so your cuts are
accurate and true.
Simply set the stop blocks to allign the piece for
the cut and clamp with a couple of toggle clamps or hold down clamp as shown
above. The home made stop blocks shown below will work for most of the cuts
you'll need to make. Plus, it's easy to make a custom stop for any odd shapes
you may need to work with.
This tenon jig is simple and easy to make and
use. Our free PDF format plans provide detailed drawings and instructions for
building this very versatile tool. Note: The red colored surface you see in the
picture is medium grit sandpaper glued to the jig surface. Sandpaper on the
surface increases the holding power of the clamps.

Here, the Tenon Jig is used for
cutting 5/8" tenons on the drill press. The workpiece is held securely with a
toggle clamp and a stop block establishes the correct position so each piece is
held in the same position.
Note the wood block under the workpiece.
This is to position the workpiece high enough to prevent the cutting tool from
damaging the tenon jig. |
