How do you cut your tenons?

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

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!

Table saw with appropriate jigs and support and a dado when necessary.

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

You left out a spindle moulder with a bank of cutters!
Have a nice day - Cheers

Router, or backsaw and chisel.

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
