You do have to spend some time setting the saw up... blade, fence, etc. But once done, the saw is great. Fairly compact which is Nice ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxXh-4_3-ZT1fFWP91ZV7iVqzElr0lEb-a I did get an Incra Miter Gauge which takes some setup as well. The stock miter gauge can be adjusted in the miter slot with a little painter's tape... this tightens up the side to side play a lot.
I made my first tennon on my miter saw and it worked but the miter saw flexes and gives inconsistent results.
I made your sled in about 20 minutes with scrap wood and I made a perfect tennon within 10 minutes.
Thank you so much.
Thank you for making an excellent, very clear, video. As beginner woodworker I really appreciate the time and effort you put into helping others! :)
As we don't have dado blades in the UK it's great to see methods for table saws without them.
love the video and how you deliver the info. super relaxing to watch you work!
I thank you for this video. I just started doing woodworking and your video was so informative. Really enjoyed it.
Love this style of teaching. Thanks for the video!
This is one of the better table saw tenon videos I have seen. You even showed that the table was unplugged while changing to the dado blade. Well done Chris. I'm just getting into the craft and this is a well produced and informative video. Cheers!
Thanks for the dado installation demonstration. I appreciate it.
subscribed instantly!! Would love to be your neighbor. Just getting into Woodworking for a kitchen project. By far the best video I've seen! Thanks! And what a nice gentleman you are!
Thanks for the video. Nice job! I realize in your video you don't have any piece fall off during cutting, however I think it's a bad habit to teach to someone to have your fall off piece able to pinch against the fence. Instead clamp a stop piece to the fence and start your piece against the stop block. As you move the wood into the blade it will clear the stop block and fence area, more safely allowing any fall off to fall free and not be pinched.
Excellent! I built one very similar to this jig tonight. Thanks for sharing and the inspiration. I have to cut 36 tenons for a baby bed and I did not have a great way to do that. Now I do.
Great video quality and awesome tutorial from a fellow Carpenter to another, greetings from Houston, TX
I wish I had found your video 3 days ago. Would have saved me a lot of effort.
Despite the comments from the many master woodworkers below, I learned much from this video. I’m off to make a jig like that one now.
very clean and nice place to work at. even table saw is unusually quiet.
Pura vida great review and this senor is a great teacher he teaches clearly
good explanation and very clear. thanks
some good features, but I would put the toggle clamps on the USER side of the jig, SAFER, not reaching out your hand close to the blade to open and close while the saw is stopping, or, with the toggle safely on user side, can keep the blade going. Much faster operation.
Good info I use both methods.
Great work.
Good video, well done.
Hi... thanks for your information how to make tenan with table saw. I am from Indonesia, and hobbies woodworking...
Thanks!
Where’s part 2 for the mortise? Please leave a link in the description next time!
Thanks again
Thank you so much for this video! I'm still very new to woodworking and I've been struggling to find some safe-ish methods to perform tenon cuts on a table saw. I realize there are a few safety concerns with some of the things you did in this video (rip fence + miter gauge used together, clamp close to the blade, etc.) but overall, this video has made the concept of how to cut a tenon joint much clearer for me, and how to do so accurately.
I hope to see more of your work soon. We need more videos like this one! :)
very nice and clear thank you ;)
Great video thanks 🙏 if you don’t have a toggle clamp, I’ve seen elsewhere that a small sliding clamp can fed through a 40mm hole in the main board… 🌹🇦🇺✌️
Very nice explanation great video I love the jig. - I have a question I need to make some tenons and mortises. The only machine I have is a jigsaw -and a drill--any tips. Can I used the jigsaw for that job?.
Very nice. Seems like the first method gives a cleaner finish yes?
Great video, could you tell me what kind of toggle clamp you are using , that would be very nice thank you.
Nice and clear explanation. One remark though. Your knuckles end up getting dangerously close to the spinning sawblade when reclamping the workpiece.
+Peeters Wouter Saw Stop means its completely safe.

no way man, he's got at least 6-8 inch. they were not any closer than they would be with a good push stick, and regardless he's not making a cut here so (1 an accidental slip will go horizontally (2 won't slip by kickback
Great video, anyone know the name of the pro jig he showed, thanks
There is a third way to do it,
Just using you outside dado blades a spacer and no inside chippers a table incert made of wood and your tenon jig.
You make both cheek cuts in one pass.
Using 2 blades on the arbor at the same time. You could also use 3 and make a through tenon adding a spline to lock it in the mortise.
Excelente métodos de hacer la espiga. ahora para hacer la caja?... saludos
I'm mildly upset how easy and smooth this looks in your hands. Sigh. I will try. I will at least try.
You came so close to that spinning blade to lock that jig lock, were you testing the stopsaw blade stop?
This guy is so delicate
Out of curiosity what would you do if your wood was say 6ft in length, I live in the U.K. and cannot get hold of a Dado blade set or a saw that has a large enough spindle to accommodate one.
Axnfell they dont sell table saws in the uk? you can do it all by hand with hand saws. it just takes longer.
Of course they sell table saws here in the UK, but the spindles are metric and not long enough to take a dado set even if you purchase them, I managed to get 4 different dado sets but cannot get any to fit the spindles of any of the table saws that I have purchased over time, its just a tad annoying, we do without, but you guys over the pond have access to much nicer kit than we do,...
@@MD0MDI I just bought a tenoner after spending weeks cutting tenons in my head on different machines. It just takes the work out of it and can scribe too. Doesn't help your question much though.....
this is obviously old, wondering if you fixed your problem.. but I don't see why you would have one. If you add a side extension table and you've got over a 10ft ceiling you should be able to use method 1. Although I will say I've cut using method 2 with a single blade, takes about 5-10 min tho
I thought it's not safe to use a mitter gauge in combination with the rip fence.
Great video, however, I would never cross cut against a fence like this. You're begging for a
nasty kick-back. Instead, I use a sacrificial fence on my crosscut sled. Very simple and safe.
Hi Matt, I was thinking that at first but now don’t see the issue. There is no off cut since he cross cuts first before making the “vertical” cuts with the tenoning jig. Think he’s A ok doing this
I'm wondering if this man is a Christian! He has such an amazing personality!
I was cringing the whole time... I'm amazed he still has any fingers... have a look at what happens to your thumb, even with a saw stop...
That works, but it's much easier to use a dado.
Having that clamp handle hang over the saw blade is a terrible design, one small slip and fingers go flying.
Otherwise very good video.
+MsSomeonenew Yes. But remember its a saw stop.The moment his hand touches the blade, the blade is retracted within a split second.
Balenza345 Extremely unwise to rely on the equipment to do the safety work for you! terrible advice!
@@Balenza345 not good enough
All the latest gear. Festool this and festool that, what are you making to sell in your shop??
all the gear, no idea
5:00 I don't understand. I've been watching table saw safety videos and they all say never to use fence along with the miter. Are you getting away with this since you aren't making a through cut? If I were to do this I'd clamp a stop block to the fence and by the time the blade hits the wood, it's no longer rubbing against the fence, only the miter is holding it.
Using a standoff block as you suggest would work just fine. You are also correct in guessing that because we did not cut a piece off of the stock, there is nothing to get pinched between the fence and the blade. This technique is perfectly safe. If you were cutting of segments off of a piece of wood using a miter gauge and a table saw, it is important not to use the fence as a guide. A standoff block or some other means of determining the proper cutoff length exactly right.
Those dado blades are pretty dull to leave grooves like that.
More surface area for glue ;-)
Omg. Never ever use rip fence to hold workpiece when doing cross cuts. Do you want to get hit by a piece of wood at 200+ mph? This 1st method is inviting for kickback
Tell me why state the obvious just get on with it or do you think your teaching the blind
