[another] tenon jig for table saw

Amazing gig Antonio. Welcome to LJ. It will be great having another member with such a high skill level. It sure would have been nice if you could do a blog on making this jig. I’m sure a lot of members would appreciate it. I have a slider on my tablesaw. I know the majority of woodworkers don’t have one, but, with our large membership I’m sure there are quite a few out there who do. Thank for this first great post. I hope you enjoy LJ as much as I do. The members are a great group of positive and helpful people.

Looking forward to seeing more of your projects. I would just mention that more people will see this wonderful gig if you tagged it in “gigs” which is an option that appears at the bottom when you are posting a project. If you haven’t and want to, you can edit your project and add the tag.

Gee wizz
Nice piece of machinery… Works well .
Good piece of engineering… YOu make it all yourself?
Yeah… presision with a screw thread..
well done Ant. Very clever.
I use Bulcatan waterproof wood glue. Polyeurathane sort of base… excellent bonding… and gives a bit of flex.
I use epoxy as well but for your work….. I can’t comment. Bravo !

Great craftsmanship and design. Well done.

Fantastic work. How about some pictures of your boat projects?

Very nice looking jig.

thank you all; Hal, give a look at this peapod (and here a little trip on board of her) or at the boat I’m currently building if you like

Very cool Jig Antonio It kind of works on the same principle as the drift-master fence. If someone does not have a built in sliding table you could build a sled to put this on.

Very cool. Reminds me of this screw advance box joint jig I saw a while back …. http://woodgears.ca/box_joint/jig.html (see video at bottom of page)

You do some nice stuff!

Thank you all again.
Jeremy, frankly I already knew that Canadian guy and his inventions, and obviously I got inspired by him (I beg pardon I don’t mention him in the general presentation). Anyway there are some differences between his jig and mine. Our european table saws don’t allow mounting a dado blade, hence if you want, say, a 4 mm mortise, you need two cuts: first you turn the handle once (3mm) and cut, then you make a fraction of turn (1/3-> 1mm) and cut; that’s to say you must be able to change the step of the move as needed (I mean, a fixed step doesn’t work).

I have modified my table saw slightly, to get a router table (see here and the following pics if you like) and this jig works well on it too.

Very nice Jig. WoodWrangler beat me to the punch, You might check out the cool contraptions that Matthias Wandel has come up with, at http://woodgears.ca/index.html You both have similar engineering talent, I think you would enjoy this site, if you haven’t seen it. Your jig design is very impressive keep up the great work. Thank you for sharing with us.

nice set up ! I liked the pics of your shop also . Do you live anywhere near the town of Lentii ?

-- rob

thank you rob. Are you sure you have spelled “Lentii” correctly? I have searched wikipedia, and the only town with similar name I have found is Lenti (with only one “i”) in Hungary, 400 km far away from my home.
