TENONING JIG USE
This jig is intended to perform cheek cuts only. Cheek cuts
are made prior to the shoulder cuts, which are made on a
table saw using the miter gauge.
Keep your hands on the jig handles
when performing cuts.

STRUCTURE OF A MOR
TISE AND TENON JOINT
Parts of a simple or “blind” joint are (Fig. 24):
A. Structural Shoulder
B. Cheek
C. Cosmetic Shoulder
D. Mortise
E. Mortise Walls
Lay out the mortise and tenon on the workpieces (Fig. 25),
but keep these items in mind when laying out the joints:
• To avoid premature joint failure, avoid locating a tenon
in a disfigured part of the grain (a knot), for
unpredictable movement of the joint may occur. Use
straight, flat, common-grained stock.
• The tenon will shrink in width away from the mortise
walls, possibly revealing the mortised hole. When
possible, produce tenons with shoulders on all
four sides - two structural and two cosmetic - to
conceal the mortised hole when wood movement
occurs.

5. The tenoning jig features a positive stop to ensure fast
and accurate positioning of the backstop (G) Fig. 21 at
90 degrees to the saw table. To check and adjust the
positive stop at 90 degrees, loosen lock handle (H) Fig.
21, and place one end of a combination square (J) on
the saw table and the other end against backstop (G).
If the backstop is not 90 degrees to the table, loosen
the locknut (K) Fig. 21, and tighten or loosen the
adjustment screw (L) until the head of the screw
contacts the casting on the vertical plate (M) at 90
degrees. Tighten the locknut (K) and lock the handle
(H).

6. To eliminate chip-out when performing cheek cuts, you can fasten an auxiliary wooden backup board (P) Fig. 23 to the
backstop (G) Fig. 22 with two wood screws through the two pre-drilled holes (N).
7. You can also fasten a block of wood to the vertical support plate (R) Fig. 23, through four pre-drilled holes (S) to prevent
the saw blade from contacting the jig.
Page 10

• The objective is to make the parts fit closely together. Maximize the gluing surface by making the tenon as long as possible
(approximately 1/2 the width of the stile or longer, if using narrow stock). Balance the joint by using the same amount of
wood in the tenon as in the combined thickness of the mortise walls (Fig. 26). If one piece of wood is larger than the other,
make the tenon as thick as possible (Fig. 27).
• Remember to figure the kerf of the saw blade when setting up for the cut.
• Cut all mortises first. Make the mortise 1/16" deeper than the length of the tenon to allow for glue.
1. Clamp a base stop (F) Fig. 28 (the same thickness as
the base plate (G) of the tenoning jig (H)) on the front of
the saw table. This will allow tenoning jig to pass over
the base stop (F).
2. Make a spacer block of wood (K) Fig. 28, equal to the
thickness of the tenon plus the thickness of the saw
blade.
3. With the tenoning jig (H) Fig. 28 located at the front of
saw table and over the base stop (F), load the spacer
block (K) and the workpiece (L). Securely clamp both in
place with the clamp handle (M). Make certain that both
pieces of wood are against the vertical support plate
(N) and the backup board (P).
4. Gently push the tenoning jig (H) Fig. 28 toward the saw
blade until workpiece is near the saw blade. Adjust the
tenoning jig (H) and the saw blade to make the first
cheek cut. Return the tenoning jig (H) to the front of saw
table.
5. Connect the saw to the power source.
6. Turn the saw “ON” and perform the first structural
cheek cut (Fig. 29). Feed the tenoning jig toward the
saw blade at a slow feed rate until the saw blade has
exited the back of the workpiece. Turn the tool off and
allow the blade to come to a complete stop, then
slowly pull the tenoning jig back to the position shown
in Fig. 28.
Fig. 26
Fig. 27
Fig. 28
You can use several different methods to cut a mortise and tenon. The following information illustrates one of the easiest and
safest methods and utilizes cheek cuts first, then shoulder cuts. Use a base stop (F) Fig. 28 that is the same thickness as
the base plate (G) of the tenoning jig (H) and spacer block (K) that is the combined thickness of the tenon and the saw blade,
to make the cutting more efficient. This method eliminates possible errors caused by thickness variations in the workpiece,
and avoids trapping cut-off pieces between the saw blade and vertical support plate (N).
NOTE: Perform your practice cuts on scrap material before cutting good wood.
Use a slow feed rate to help prevent the tenoning jig from lifting during a cut.
Keep your hands on the jig handles when performing cuts.

8. Load and secure the workpiece (L) Fig. 31 on the
tenoning jig and adjust the jig to perform the third and
fourth cosmetic cheek cuts. Connect the machine to
the power source, turn the saw “on”, and make the
cuts.
NOTE: When cutting the cosmetic cheek cuts, do not use
the spacer block (K) Fig. 28. You can turn the workpiece 180
degrees. The discrepancies in the workpiece are not as
critical when cutting the cosmetic cheeks as compared to
the structural cheeks.

Power Source
1. Remove the tenoning jig from the machine.
2. Lay the workpiece (L) Fig. 32 on the saw table and adjust the saw blade (R) to cut the structural shoulders of the
tenon.
3. Clamp a wooden stop block (S) Fig. 33 to the front of the saw fence (T), and adjust the saw fence to cut the structural
shoulders of the tenon.
NOTE: Remember to figure in the width of the saw blade.

7. Loosen the clamp (M) Fig. 28. Remove the spacer
block (K) and secure the workpiece (L) Fig. 29 in place.
Keep the same face of the workpiece (L) against the
vertical support plate (N) and the backup board (P).
Turn the machine “on”, perform the second structural
cheek cut, and turn the machine “off”. Allow the blade
to come to a complete stop, then slowly pull the
tenoning jig back to the position shown in Fig. 28.

To avoid personal injury or damage to the machine, always use a cross-cut blade to perform the
shoulder cuts of the tenon.
When performing the shoulder cuts of the tenon, do not cut into the cheeks of the tenon. It will
greatly reduce the strength of the joint.
NOTE: Perform your practice cuts on scrap material before cutting good wood.

EXAMPLES OF MORTISE-AND-TENON JOINTS
Position the wooden stop block (S)
Fig. 34 in front of the saw blade to
prevent the workpiece from being
trapped between the saw fence and the
saw, causing kickback. Make sure that
the workpiece is clear of the wooden
stop block (S) before contacting the saw
blade.
4. Use a miter gauge (W) Fig. 34, equipped with a backup
board (X), to position the workpiece (L) so that you can
cut the structural shoulders. Make certain that the
workpiece (L) is against the wooden stop block (S) and
the backup board (X).
5. Connect the machine to the power source.
6. Turn the machine “ON” and perform the structural
shoulder cut by slowly pushing the miter gauge (W) Fig.
34 toward the saw blade until the saw blade is
completely through the workpiece. Turn the machine
“OFF”. Wait for the blade to come to a complete
stop and remove the cut-off piece.
7. Return the miter gauge (W) Fig. 34 to the position
shown, and perform the other structural shoulder cut in
the same manner.
8. Fig. 35 illustrates workpiece (L) with the two structural
shoulders (M) cut.
9. Adjust the blade height to perform the cosmetic
shoulder cuts.
10. Connect the saw to power source.
11. Perform the cosmetic shoulder cuts in the same
manner as the structural shoulder cuts.
When performing the shoulder cuts of
the tenon, do not cut into the cheeks of
the tenon. It will greatly reduce the
strength of the joint.
