Mortise and tenon joinery examples
The mortise and tenon are mirror images so position the workpieces with indexing against the fence accordingly.
Cut the mortise first then adjust the fit of the tenon. Move the guide bearing down the tapered template, away
from the template holder, to make the tenon smaller.

use a larger bit when possible and 1/2” is the sweet spot for ease and quality of cut for most sizes.
