Heavy-Duty Tenoning Jig

The product is made very well for the price, but the instructions [ ].

This is the first time that I have worked with mortises and tenons. Once the jig is set up it repeated very well and produced accurate tenons. This is a great value for the price.

The product itself works great and is well built. The instructions for aligning the jig parallel to the saw blade leave something to be desired. The instructions refer to a process that doesn't match the picture so I never did figure it out.Editor's note: There has been a change made by the manufacturer and part of the instructions are no longer valid.To do the alignment now you must:a) loosen the lever J on the top surface of the slide mechanism. b) on the underside of the base loosen the 2 hex screws that hold the base to the slide mechanism.c) adjust the base its edge is parallel to the face plate.d) retighten the hex screws.

After considering building my own tenoning jig, I saw this in the Rockler on-line catalog, liked the affordable price, and decided to buy it. I've had it only a few weeks, but thus far it has been excellent. The set-up directions were a little bit confusing, but once I got things figured out, the jig has held its adjustment and produced reliable and accurate cuts. It's also easy to use. So far, this seems like a great value.

I spent many wasted hours trying to manufacture a repilca made from wood. This tool is mandatory for anyone using mortise and tenon joints. Cuts time ten-fold!
