OK, I give up. I've been trying to buy a tenoning for my Delta table
saw but there are so many that I need some advice. Even Delta has two
models and I cannot tell the difference from the descriptions that
I've found.

Help!!

Heavier is better -- unfortunately the old really heavy model is NLA.

One thing is whether you have the left or right tilt -- most won't
handle but one side.

I ended up going w/ the Powermatic version a couple of years ago on the
basis of essentially same price and weighed slightly more than the
competing at the time.

Judgment is it is satisfactory, could be heavier for better stability
but that's the problem w/ all being made today afaik.

OK, Make one's own TG. But, what measurements did you use for your
jig? Is it set for 3/4" stock? For a fixed tenonn size, shoulder size?
Not taking a shot, seriously interested.

Not seeing the "adjustment"? That's because, unlike most commercial jigs,
this one rides against the fence, not the miter bar slot, and that's how you
set your cheek cuts.

In an magazine product comparison (FWW I think) the General Tools
tennoning jig was the winner because of the best adjustability and
usability.

I have the "General" and it seems to work pretty good. If you buy one
instead of building your own, I suggest you take a close look at the
surface that slides on your table saw top and file, grind, polish,
etc. off any burrs. I didn't and the damned scratch it left on my
saw's top really ****ed me off. No real complaints other than that.

SFWIW, Sears & Rubbish as a "Universal Jig" that does tenoning quite
well if it is not going to be a day in, day out, production job,
