RPCV_Woodworker Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 So, I just got back to my parents' home in PA, and immediately started in on a coffee table that's been sitting on the bench for about a year. I'm doing 6 M&T joints for a set of stretchers, table saw for the shoulders, band saw for the cheeks. I cut my mortises using a drill & chisel, then cut the tenons to match. Here's the problem: being as I don't live near my shop anymore, I don't do the upkeep on the tools. My dad swapped out the blade on the bandsaw while I was gone, and it has some rather extreme drift (~1/16" over 3"). I now have two tenons that are rather gappy. Is there a fix, other than shims glued onto the tenons to thicken them, that I could use to fix this? I'm tuning the bandsaw today...

mds2 Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 I use shims just like you mentioned when I've had that problem. Its an easy fix and is never seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
