Hi everyone. I'm trying to determine which after-market tenoning jigs
will work with Craftsman miter slots. I know, I know, everyone is
jealous of my table saw, but it's NOT for sale. (grin) For what it's
worth - It's about 3 years old and a (relatively speaking) "higher" end
contractor saw (for Craftsman).
It seems to me that the Delta won't work... Is this true? Any help as to
what might work well would be greatly appreciated.
I'm also looking for advice on a good bench top mortiser. Thanks for
your help! Ben

I bought a Delta Tenoning Jig for use with my Ridgid TS. This saw is
manufactured by Emerson and is the same as those which bear the
Craftsman name. The table slot width is exactly 3/4" while the sliding
bar on the Dellta jig is a bit wider. I removed the bar from the jig,
took it to a local machine shop, and had it milled so that the width
would provide a nice sliding fit. It only cost me a couple of dollars.

As for the bench top mortiser, I bought one made by Delta and have been
happy with it.
