Tenon Jig

[Tim Malyszko]

I am looking at building a tenoning jig and came across these plans:

Has anyone used these plans and how did it turn out?

Thanks.

quite a bit simpler, but I'm happy with it.

Here is the design:

Tim,

I have not seen that plan, but check out this thread. http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=47602 I posted a picture of a jig I made along with contact info for the fellow who designed. He sent me the plans for free.

There is also a free plan here. http://www.bobsplans.com/FreeJigPlans/TenonJig/TenonJig.htm

God luck.

I like your jig Jonathan. I have the Delta, but your version would let me do wider material than the Delta. I'm going to have to build one.

Johnathan,

Your jig looks great and I think I may try and replicate it. Thanks to all that replied.

So please allow me to ask the dumb question. I'm a firm believer is using what you have, up to a certain point. I have a radial arm saw set up with a dado cutter making some tennons. To me, it seems fast enough and of high enough quality. So for me, I'm content and buying/building one of these jigs would be just somethine else my wife can point to and shake her head. Is there a level of increased quality/speed in operating one of these? The only down side I see to my set up is that the tennons are a little rougher than I'd like, due to the dado's cutting pattern. I'm the knuckle head who had a little run in with a jointer recently so I have an increased awareness of a machines ability to injure. Such a home made jig looks a little unstable, unlike the 30# commercially avaialble ones, and fear that something light kick out on it. Just wondering.

Hi Tim,

I got the plans and built it out of MDF. It works great! Great repetative cuts and its accurate.

Be sure to follow the plans carefully.
