Workshop Essentials 3
The Ultimate Tablesaw Tenon Jig
Price: 9.99 GBP

Check out the trailer on YouTube!


Workshop Essentials 3 - The Ultimate Tablesaw Tenon Jig is an advanced system for cutting tenons on the tablesaw. The idea of cutting tenons vertically is not new, of course, but until now has been fraught with the dangers of using an unguarded blade.
This the best tablesaw tenon jig in the world, even comparing it with manufactured cast iron ones. It is accurate, versatile and fast - the workpiece just slides between two predetermined positions, so your tenons will fit right first time every time. It's also micro-adjustable so that rails and stiles end up flush when you need them to, ensuring minimal cleaning up.
The normally-challenging twin mortice-and-tenon joint is covered as well, and is just as straightforward with this system as a simple tenon.
By adding an auxiliary face, spline joints for picture frames become a doddle, too, and of course, the whole unit is guarded, making it the safest jig of its kind. The DVD also includes FREE PDFs for the tenon jig, the crosscutting jig for cutting the shoulders, the SUVA-style guard and the auxiliary guard.
It is an ideal present for the more advanced woodworker - not recommended for the inexperienced.
Total running time approx 72 minutes.
