Tools in this project: Mini Square: amzn.to/2jRLUBc (scroll down for more)
Table Saw: amzn.to/2rBhQNM
Blade I like:
Toggle Clamp: amzn.to/2wx7Uun
(This isn't the clamp I used for my fence extension, but the clamps I used are out of production. I've used these before for other jigs and I like them.)
Cutting tenons by hand isn't easy, especially given how precise you need to be. Machine tools can be very precise and repeatable, and they're a good option for cutting tenons. Unfortunately, most table saw tenoning techniques require a jig. Commercial ones are expensive and shop-made jigs take time to build. In this video, I'll show you how to cut perfect, repeatable tenons on your table saw with no jig. All you need is a simple fence-extension that you can make from a scrap of plywood and pair of toggle clamps.

It's nice to see Rex in the early days. And his replies to comments are also nice to read. It's a good video, I learnt something again. Stay simple, and stay true. But it's encouraging to see how one can develop over a short time.
I Really Like This Guy’s Methods.
Done Without Any BS, And With What You Have.
That’s What I Like.
03:24 But *Rex* ! That's a freaking *jig* !!
04:34 Mr.Graham's [worththeeffort] blood runs cold, Rex. According to his words, cutting a tenon with a table saw is one of *the* most dangerous things. I'll go with the *jig* .
Spot one, concise, simple and well explained.
Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing this technique.
That's a great way to cut tenons Rex :) Thank you ॐ
Very easy to understand video about making tendons with only the table saw. Thanks!
Watching this makes me wonder when you’re going to do a video on installing dust collection on that table saw......
As usual great content. Thanks Rex :-)
dont forget you can use a bandsaw as well rex
I stumbled across this old video today, and it really contrasts with your newer content, Rex! Better video, better audio, and an emphasis on hand tool woodworking g are all 8mprove,ents I can get behind!
Great info
Thanks good info
I found this video extremely informative. I was especially interested in the tall auxiliary fence jig that you made with the pipe clamps. Can you make a video about the other uses for this tool? I intend to make one for my table saw.
I'm glad you liked it. I'll think hard about making a video about the auxiliary fence. I mostly also use it for jointing, but also for thin stock that might slip under my regular fence. It might make a good video. Thanks!
i cut the cheeks first. that way, the board is better supported on its end. then cut the shoulders.
doing the reverse as you have, makes the piece a little more difficult to keep perpendicular to the table as it has a smaller foot..
in addition, instead of allowing the piece to slide along the fence during the shoulder cutting (generally a dangerous practice), use a stop block to properly set the distance to the fence, then remove it once set, cutting the shoulders with the miter gauge alone. And for a better practice, use a cross cut sled or a miter gauge with a long fence instead of a stock miter gauge.
Thanks.
You are a treasure
Just discovered your channel. Great videos... Thanks! What kind of clamps are those on your auxiliary rip fence?
Those are a pony-brand clamp that I don't think they make anymore. Shame. They work great. Use toggle clamps. You won't regret it.
It's weird seeing you use power tools, lol I've been watching all of your hand tool work
I'm going to be making a jig. I don't care how good I get with a table saw, I'm never going to to that.
You should never do anything you don't feel comfortable with. By all means make a jig. I have to admit that I'm very cautious around my table saw and this doesn't bother me. Your hands are far from the blade.
It is possible to remove the waste one kerf width at the time too, helps if you have flat ground saw blade teeths.
God damn that's too scary for me.
Then by all means, don't do it. I'm running a Saw Stop, so I have that protection. I'm really glad to hear someone out there has the sense to just admit when something's scary.
Yep. Last time I got a kickback from my little Ryobi BT3000, it made a dent in my garage door. Maybe I'll try your technique once I get some linear motors and clamps to push the wood (while I stay behind a blast shield :P )
It's how was making tenons....but now I prefer the hand tool method ..
I hope to get good at that in the future.
Just practice, practice and...practice . Oh I forgot to say practice.
@@RexKrueger This proved prophetic :)
Its a win for me when I attempt a mortise and tenon . Have I pulled it off? Yes ! Are they ever perfect?
Sometimes. I don't have a table saw , it's a multi step process and a real pain in the ass for me ..
but satisfaction in completing a project with traditional joints??? Off the chart !! Cheers Rex .
Before I did this for a living, I would have been all over the hand-tool approach and I still need to develop it. I've only done tenons for client work, so I've stuck with the saw for efficiency. Good luck developing those hand-tool skills. I find it to be worth all the trouble!
Hand tools ? I wish bro . I'm talking (am I'm not proud of it ) drop saw to cut the shoulders and reduce the tenon thickness , router to finish the tenon . Mortise? ..plunging a spade bit and finished with a chisel in a hit n hope sort of action . Disgusting approach I know, but that's how this hack gets it done . ( I hate to muddy your vlog )
In my view, there are no "hacks" only people who make things and people who bitch about not having the "right" tools to make things. I've done mortises the EXACT same way and they come out fine. Totally legit technique. My only question is, what is a "drop" saw?
Yep sorry , compound mitre saw or 'droppy' in Australia. .
I do mortises with my plunge router and a solid carbide spiral upcut bit. I cheat and round the shoulders of my tenons to fit. I'm not accomplished enough with chisels to feel good about my chance of success using them for mortises.
What do you do when your fence on the table saw is useless and does not hold in place?
I know this is an old comment, but I want to post a response just in case my help someone else.
First off, if the fence doesn't lock in place and retain its position, then don't use the saw. It's dangerous and not safe to use in that condition. If the fence moves during a cut, it could cause the work piece to bind up or cause the workpiece to not be being firmly against the fence. You could experience a severe kickback or possibly lose a finger, hand, etc.
Kickback is no joke and can easily throw a work piece with enough force to embed it in drywall, break ribs, other bones, etc.
I would recommend purchasing and installing an aftermarket fence such as a Vega, Delta Biesemeryer, or one of the many other fences out there.
When you make a mistake in your video and call a tenon a mortise or vice versa, is it easier to put a text correction in the video or punch in a single word?
Seems easier to do this on the mitre saw.
This should make any experienced woodworker uncomfortable.
Looks dangerous, I think I will make a jig.
I find Rex's videos instructive, but I am often struck by the lack of attention to dust collection. I'm a person with sinus deficiencies and having dust flying all over the place doesn't work for me.
Well, I have a dust collector on the saw. Don't really know what else I can do.
Speaking of Cheeks, you have an impressive jawline!
1:30 or you could yknow, use a square
@1:39 I see a gap
Shadow.
How to lose a finger 101
In the time 5:02 you hand passed ridiculously near to the blade and you had no eye contact to it to see how close it had been.
Actually, that's just the camera angle that makes it look that way. I'm using a very tall push-stick and it's keeping my hand far back. I've gotten cut my the table saw before, and I'm VERY safety-conscious.
Rex Krueger 4:33 shows how far away your hand really is.
Doesn't look safe at all. Not sensible.
