Ron,

Leigh's FMT and super FMT are verticle tenon jigs. I'm cheap and like to build my own jigs so here is a picture of mine in use. One of the picture shows some cherry Chair rails I just cut on it. I can cut just about any angle tenon I want simple or compound angle

I'm pleased with my Leigh MFT, but many of these shop-made jigs (like that above) are really impressive.
Timberwerkz- what make/dimension bit do you choose for the longest possible tenons?

 

Hi Bill

Just a butt in post how about the bits below for the longest tenons possible .

Hi, Ron, Do you have the plans of your tenon jig to share?

 

Sorry Chris, the design is your, do you have the plans to share?

 

I would be interested to see plans of the jig too.

 

Hi Ron:

OK, situation here. You will find that a tenon cut on a table saw, vertically can be cut on a router table, horizontally. Use a right angle backing block to hold the tenon material at 90 degrees.

 

See Pat Warner's site Dovetail Tenoner

He talks of a dovetail tenoner but it was originally for regular tenons.

More at Sliding Dovetails, DEWALT.com

I've included pics of mine and, just in case you want one, a simple mortice jig as well. (I should have photographed the stop plates the other way around)

Cheers

Peter

 

Here's just one more that will do it all just like the FMT system..but for much less

I actually don't have plans for the jig. I just made it up as I went along. Hd to cut the top twice. I will gladly make some plans to share though.

Laxknut I have a CMT 1/2"d 1"cutter length bit in the router now and a couple of Whiteside 1/2"d 2"cutter length bits. Most of what I do at this time doesn't need a tenon longer than that right now
