Same here, but the tenoning jig excels at making angled tenons. I don't really know another way besides cutting them by hand. I suppose the bandsaw could do it. But the TJ makes fast and accurate work of it. As little as I use my tenoning jig there's no way I'd be looking at upgrading to the PM. As much as I like PM.

Janello Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 I'm in the same camp. It's just not even close to being on my wish list. Heck, for as little as I'd use a tenon jig rather than dado set, i grabbed a used delta in great shape at a ww show for like 30 bucks.

He asked what my next project was and I told him about the shop made that I was eager to get started on. He got up, went to his shop and returned with the delta and offered me a 30 year lease on it for a walnut crotch I have. Deal consummated!

Janello Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Good deal, since you likely would have let him grab your crotch anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Since he's a turner and I'm not, probably? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil B Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 A different perspective on making tenons. I have a griz tenon jig (basically a delta clone) that I got as part of a package deal of used tools. I tried to use it and hated every moment. For me, holding the board vertical was the worst. I dreaded making tenons. Then I saw the speed tenon. The griz now gathers dust and I don't even bother with using a dado blade. Set up is way fast and with a little care (uniform pressure against the fence) my shoulders are precise and aligned. I do cut a number of kerfs before cleaning the face of the tenon. I also try to remove small amount of material at a time. But the result is perfect tenons every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Grizz as well and don't have any issues with it. A 0 clearance backer does help. If I need to do one quickly, I still grab the shop built one tho.

Coop Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 With a tenoning jig, do you cut the shoulder first or the "other part"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneymack Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 With a tenoning jig, do you cut the shoulder first or the "other part"? Edit: Come to think of it i think i did shoulder first and then cheek on the jig. Its been about 5 years since ive used a tenon jig.
