Nice jig! I have the same saw, what do you think of yours? I have always been hesitant to use the band saw to cut tenons but I suppose with a wider blade like yours it would cut very true.

I like the saw, haven’t had any issues to speak of. I have a Magswitch featherboard that I use to “pin” the piece to the jig. I find this method to be quicker and more effective than the table saw.

Nice jig….furniture class…(when they said hardwood you kicked it up a notch)!
I too have the same saw…never thought of using it for tenons….usually cut em with my dado blade and table saw – but would be nice not to have to change out blades on my table saw just to cut a tenon or two.
I too would be interested to hear how it works out for you.
Thank you for sharing this.

I made a bridle joint jig a week or so ago and I used featherboards to keep the rail where I wanted it but some of them, somehow, moved on me and a few of the open mortises are wider than they should be. I wonder if they sell a fence for this saw? I found a place here in Sioux Falls that sells the ball bearing guides for it for a hundred bucks!

Well, as with most “store bought” jigs, I seem to always find a reason (or dozens) as to why I might build my own! Although I have no idea why you are having this issue, I have found that if I complete my mortises first, the tenons just seem to “fit” better. I hope this is, in some way, helpful; if not, I apologize for my lack of expertise. ;~)

Nice jig! Good design. I have a tenon jig for my tablesaw and I use my bandsaw more to cut tenons. I bought the Kreg bandsaw fence and it makes it easier to use adjustable stop blocks for the temon depth.
