This guy is so professional, patient and precise. One of my favorites to learn from, a really good teacher.

Such a well structured video. Thanks for your efforts and the lesson 👍🏼

thank you for your excellent teaching. No hype, no music, no machine noise = perfect.

Thanks for a great video. I just made myself a crosscut sled from some scrap plywood and had much better results than my first attempt at a tenon where I hogged out the excess sideways.

This video helped give me the confidence I needed prior to making tenon cuts. Thanks friend

Very good and detailed video for tenons!

Thanks i just learned this today.

Very good demonstration.

Thank you , good demo. I would love to be able to use dado blades , but unfortunately they are banned in Europe. We really are in the Nanny State , and it's a nightmare ! ! !

I have had very little luck cutting precise tenons or tongues with a dado set. I simply struggle to precisely set the depth, and I'm not sure my jobsite saw which lacks a depth lock of any kind doesn't walk itself down under the weight/vibration/stock pressure of the dado stack. Also, my fence leans slightly toward the blade, so the shoulders won't line up correctly if the stock isn't square. The solution to this is to use the narrow extension, or to use a stop on the miter gauge/sled instead.

The position of the toggle clamp on this jig makes me queasy. Not sure it is the best recommendation to use that with your hand a couple of inches above a running blade as it would be quite easy for your hand to slip off.

what about the mortises?

I know this video is old in 2024, but I’m wondering if I could get a part number/source for that large toggle clamp on the homemade jig. Thanks!

Chris, I had always been warned: never use both the miter gauge and rip fence to make a cut on the table saw. Is this really okay to do for cutting tenons?

Well done! Very helpful. Thanks

can a sliding compounding mitre saw be used (with a depth stop) to cut out the mortise in a 4inch square beam 1.5m long ? i need to make an accurate cross joint in two timbers, 90deg to eachother. if so, which sliding mitre saw and which blade is best ?

great video, thanks!

Love everything about this video but when adjusting the piece for the next cut stop the saw. Seems silly but when you’re reclamping the wood you’re too close to the spinning blade. Humble suggestion

Isn't against the safety rules to use the rip fence as a guide when cross cutting?

nice,,,,thankyou

amazing

thank you

Super!

I used the dado method for my tenons. However the shoulder come out uneven. One is longer than the other. I've checked my miter and fence for square. Still have the problem. Any idea as to the problem?

oops. you're not supposed to use a miter and a fence at the same time

It is not the most difficult cuts being made on a table saw but the most common, seemingly easy cuts where safety falls apart. The first rule of safety in a shop begins with a GOOD first aid kit on hand... The only 100% safe use of a table saw is to lower the blade below the table and pull the plug out of the wall...So lets get a little real here..Crap happens and no one is exempt.

This is useless demonstrating tenons on an 18 inch board. People need to make them on 8 foot board ends- try showing how to do that.

You said you was going to use the site saw!!!
