All,
I am building a workbench from plans. The plans call for a tongue to be cut on the two short sides of the top. The top is 60" x 10" x 1.75" maple, and is pretty heavy. The author suggests using a tenoning jig setup to cut the tongue. I thought this was a good opportunity to make one.
My saw is a Laguna TSS and I thought it would be best to integrate the tenoning jig into the slider. Most plans I see online either ride in a mitre slot or on the fence. The TSS slider has mitres cut into it, so I imagined making a jig that was bolted onto the slider table.
I wonder if anyone out there has suggestions for how to make a tenoning jig for a table saw with a slider, a jig that can hold a substantial piece of wood to boot. I hope to make something that can be used well into the future, but will take suggestions on making this one cut too.
Thanks,
Matt
