    Default How do you cut your tenons?

    hello,

    I'm interested to see which option people like to use to cut tenons.

    * Tenon Saw
    * Drop Saw
    * Bandsaw
    * Table Saw
    * Router

    or other.....

    All of the above except for Drop Saw... in about the same order of preference as the list. Just swap the TblS & BS, et Bingo!
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    A fitting thread as I today cut my first mortice and tenon. I used a back saw and chisel. I do however need to get a shoulder plane. The fit is with in 1-mm tolerance but it could be 0.5-mm.

    I use either the Table Saw with a saw sled or Compound Mitre Saw(Drop Saw with depth adjustment and slide) to rough cut.
    Then I clean up with a chisel.

    Table-saw tenoning jig + dado set, when I cut tenons, but, these days, I use Domino floating tenons

    Up until now, I have cut tenons on the TS using a dado cutter set or sometimes just nibbling it off with the regular blade and cleaning up by hand. Since I mortise using a router, I have typically chosen to round off the tenons by hand rather than square up the mortises.

    But . . . Domi is coming in 32 days 6 hours and 15 minutes, give or take (so who is counting? ) so I think my technique will change dramatically.
    Cheers,

    Bob

    Al, what type of SCMS do you use. I have the Makita 250mm and find that the depth stop is not very accurate - or should I say consistent, using the depth stop on the machine.

    Have you modified yours, or as anybody else? I know you said you clean up with a chisel, but when I tried it, it was so inaccurate that cleaning up with a chisel was more than cleaning up.

    Cheers,

    Ned
