Description of Jet 708295 Tenoning Jig with Quick Release

Jet?s design fits all left- and right-tilt saws with a 3/8- by ¾-inch slot for the miter gauge, found on most standard saws. It?s made of brute-strong cast iron, and the fit and finish are Jet quality. It?s made for a T-slot groove, but the T is removable to fit a plain grove as well. Assembly is quick and straightforward, and the beauty and precision of the jig will be apparent during your calibration and setup.

If you?re in production work, this jig is a great choice, because it?s got a quick-release feature that gets your finished piece out and your new stock in place in just a couple seconds. The handwheel tightens your workpiece securely against the fence, and fast, gross adjustments are a snap: just loosen the locking levers, move the fence and tighten them up again. But fine adjustments are just as easy ? loosen both levers, move the fence, tighten just one of the levers, adjust the fence with the knob and tighten down the second lock lever.

Building chairs? Even angled tenons are a breeze, because the backstop tilts quickly and easily to accommodate an angle. Be sure to mount a wood block spacer to the fence before that type of cut, though; Jet?s provided four holes in the fence for that.

There?s nothing we can think of that would improve this jig; it holds your workpiece like a vise and gives you both a horizontal and vertical handle for a superb, safe grip. Repeated cuts couldn?t be more accurate.

We know there are woodworking purists for whom building a tenoning jig is a rite of passage, and we salute you. But this jig is so cool, you might want to pick one up after you?ve built your own.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste
