What method you are using to keep stock safely in the plywood jig?

My only reason to select 5° for the tenoning wedge was that it did look
"right" for a 4° slot. If the wedge is 6°, what angle the slot should be?

I had to cut a bunch out of ebony for wedged tenons. I set my bandsaw

fence
about 4" from the blade and ran a piece of plywood through. I then cut

out
the wedge shape in the edge of the plywood that I just cut. Make sure the
wedge you cut out of the plywood, the width of the stock and the desired
length of the wedges are the same. Place the stock into the wedge and run
the plywood against the fence and cut off the first wedge. Flip the stock
over front to back and run again. This offsets the first angle cut into

the
stock. Keep repeating for more wedges. It is an easy setup, fast and
plenty accurate for wedges. BTW, I cut mine at approx. 6°.
