thanks for the link ,
i just make my tenons flat on the saw ,
with a dado stack and the fence set for shoulder length .
run in until you hit the fence ,
flip and repeat .
i just do the tip end first to try my fit first .
also use a board screwed to miter gauge to backup the cut and relieve tearout .

my tenoning jig is similar except instead of using the miter slot i built it to slip over the fence and it simply slides back and forth along it. just move the fence to adjust the width of the tenon

I found the video useful but kind of cringed with the Irwin Clamp’s position, might have been an optical illusion but it seemed awfully near the blade and one could find themselves unconciously reaching for the handle of the clamp if it was percieved that it needed tightened or repositioned during the cut simply because the handle is where we are programmed to grab it. I would have done everything the same except I would have reversed the clamp so only the clamp head would be above the blade with the handle being on the other side of the fence, then any attempt to reach for the handle would mean having the upright fence between my hand and the blade.

Just 2 cents worth of opinion, I know

Chris,

The same thought ran through my mind also.

I was good of you to bring it up.
