My long term goal is to cut more tenons by hand, however that is going to require much more practice. I've narrowed down my preferred method of cutting tenons to using my bandsaw as I have some upcoming projects that cannot wait for my hand saw technique to catch up. Besides, roughing the tenons out on the bandsaw allows me to use my other hand tools to refine to fit.
I have a Laguna 14 SUV with a 1" Resaw King along with a 1/4 and 3/8 general purpose blade. What size and TPI would you use to cut various sizes of tenons? Is there another blade that I don't have I should consider? Although I will refine the fit, I'd like to start out as smooth a cut as a bandsaw would allow.
My plan is to mark out the tenons with a marking gauge, cut the shoulders with a cross cut back saw, then cut the cheeks just outside the line with the bandsaw. Opinions?
