- Theres a ton of different ways to cut the widely used mortise & tenon joint.
In this video I show how to do it on a bench top router table with a few hints I have learned a long the way.

lovely stuff
thank you!
Where can I find that small metal measuring device?
Hey it’s the Incra T square
nice! got here from instructables. this looks like a great, easy way to get into mortise and tenons! but you'll get much nicer results with a miter slot jig for the cuts. I'll def be using this method. thanks!
Maddness42 thank you! A miter slot jig works great as well this is just my preferred method. If you have any questions let me know
Nice thanks. But you need to calibrate that router plate to the table.
Excellent step by step lesson. I am trying to learn from your instructions however kind of stuck in the imperial system. Do you know what standards to follow for metric? What would be the depth, shoulder distances etc.? Is there a rule of thumb for metric? For example, my stocks are 90 mm wide and 35mm thick. This is a very standard size in the lumber yard here in Australia including other sizes such as 35 by 70, 45 by 70, 45 by 90 and above. All are in millimetre.
Hi, thanks for watching. The tenon will be the same length as the mortise is deep. The rule of thumb for both imperial and metric is the same. The general rule of thumb is that the minimum tenon length is five time its thickness. So a 1/4" thick tenon should be 1-1/4" long. This rule isn't written in stone in my video its 3/8" wide and a 1" long tenon. The bit your using will also determine some of the sizing. Your tenon will be as wide as the mortise so when you router the mortise width, thats how thick your tenon will be and then the length of it or the shoulder depth would be roughly 5X that.
Hope that clears it up but if not feel free to let me know and ill try to explain further.
@@ToolsThatBuild Thanks for the detailed reply and explaining the craft. It was very helpful for someone who probably only cut a few joins so far :) I am making a small stool which will have 16 joins for aprons and rails. Personally, I don't like the pocket hole system hence I took this traditional path.
Soumyadip Bhattacharya Using proper joinery like what’s shown here will last way longer than any pocket hole system. I’d love to see the stool when it’s complete. Hope it goes well. Feel free to ask any more questions along the way if you need any help.
Mortees!🤣
What..?
@@ToolsThatBuild He's picking on your pronounciation. Most people pronounce the "i" as a soft consonent so it's More-tiss. The silent "e" at the end would normally cause the hard "i" though, so I don't fault you.
@@ColePanike oh I see just trolling, it’s probably different for different geographic areas. If I type it into Google it reads it back the way I pronounce it making me believe the majority is this way.
@@ToolsThatBuild Really? What region? I'm genuinely curious about this now. You're the only person I've ever heard this pronunciation from. I'm in Arkansas, USA.
@@ColePanike I’m from Alberta Canada but I assume Google is a universal reading of it, try having Siri or Google read the word to you and see what you get.
Not a bad tutorial but I think you need a little bit more control over your workpiece when making the tenon as it looked so dangerous without the jig behind it, but other than that good job
