Ned,
the trick is to keep an even hand on the saw, pressure wise, so that it cuts pretty close to the same depth every time.

Tenons=Circular saw, square, router.
Mortises = router, jig.
G'day,
Tenons: b/saw
Mortices: d/press and chisels
Guess.:p
In the olden-days, I used the tablesaw & router table. Cut the mortice first, and then the tenon to size.
I've found the first disadvantage of the Domino - you can't play with the shoulder plane anymore!
Mortices - Drill press and chisels
Tenons - table saw, chisels and planes
At work I use the bandsaw for larger ones and the radial arm saw for smaller ones. I don't have a RAS at home and occasionally hand cut them. My SCMS has nothing as refined as a depth stop...I have thought of a mod though.
Mortices I usually drill and chisel, but now I have a Rocker morticing jig for the router...I should bl##dy well use it!!:D
Cheers,
I mostly use a backsaw, also happy using a bandsaw. Safe and quiet.
I posted this yesterday from a WIP.

How do you cut your tenons?
Sorry couldnt resist :U :U
Gidday:)
I rough out tenons on my Bandsaw then precision cut them on my Woodrat..................Perfecto!
REgards Lou:)
At the moment, I use floating tenons....off my shopsmith in a horizontal mortiser type arrangement.....pretty dam quick, and clean. Not as noisey as a router either.
