What happens here
A custom-built wooden tenoning jig is presented for cutting tenons on a table saw. The jig is designed to securely hold a workpiece vertically, typically against an internal fence, using clamps (yellow-handled clamps are shown). It slides along the table saw's miter slot or fence, allowing the spinning blade to make precise cuts for the tenon shoulders and cheeks. The resulting tenon is then shown fitting perfectly into a mortise, demonstrating its use for strong mortise and tenon joints in furniture making or door construction.
Goal: Cut precise tenons for mortise and tenon joints on a table saw.
