Tenoning
The tenoning fixture illustrated in Figure 57 shows
a miter gauge equipped with a hold-down for
shaping the ends of narrow work-pieces.
The miter gauge can also be adapted to cut square
and centered tenons at the ends of legs for tables,
chairs, etc. Secure the leg to jig and position for cut
as shown in Figure 58.
Make all first cuts with the same jig setting and
spindle height. When the first series of cuts have
been made, reposition leg on the jig for each
succeeding cut.
Note:
If the leg is tapered, use a wedge to place
the side facing the cutter into a 90 degree vertical
position as shown in Figure 59.
