I tenoning jig is not used every day but it is a great way to safely make some cuts.
First of all the tenoning jig is really a fixture. It references the workpiece to the cutter but it does not guide the cutter. A dovetail jig guides the cutter and a dowelling jig guides the drill bit. But when tenoning the cutter is fixed and the fixture holds the part and it moves past the cutter. So much for the Machinery Handbook definition of a jig verses fixture.
Yes there are other ways of making the cuts pictured but I felt a lot safer making these cut when using it so I though I would post them
Worth some consideration, I know it is not red or a table full of holes and all kind of nick knacks to buy. but it is worth a look see.
