Tenoning jig advice needed
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 got one of the Delta jigs, and the metal guide bar was a tad too big
and snug making it a bit hard to slide in the groove of my dad's olds Craftman TS. I took the metal bar off of the jig and ground some of the width off using an old grinder that I salvaged from my dads barn / garage/ shop when we moved him back to the city years ago. That metal was HARD, but I eventually got it down enough that the jig slided just fine. BM Cooper wrote: Hi everyone.

As far as I know, most recent (at least for the last 3 years)
Craftsman saws use a standard miter slot. Certainly, my 3-yr old craftsman does. In other words, the delta jig should work fine. If you post the model#, you may be able to get more information out of this group. And, I'm very happy with my saw. I've poked and prodded the total runout below 0.004, have upgraded to an incra fence and a rockler sliding table system, have build my own dust collection, put in a link belt and a Forrest blade, and now can slice through thick stock with no burning or bogging down. (Yes, I could've spent the same amount of money and bought a cabinet saw, but then I wouldn't have had the incra and sliding table, which I love - plus, it's easier to get the wife to allow me to spend $1K on my saw over 3 years than it was to get her to agree to plunking down $1K up front). -VS.

Any help as to what might work well would be greatly appreciated. If the slots are now the standard size, it will work. Some of the cheaper saws had (have) an odd size and not a true "T" slot. Just measure them and if they are typical 3/4 x 3/8 it will work. The guide is just plain rectangle, not a protrusion that must fit into the "T".

I'm happy with my Delta, the Jet was rated high also in most reviews. Ed |

Ben, I took some scrap Baltic Birch plywood, bought a clamp and built mine
to slide over and along my rip fence. About 2 hours of my time and $6 worth of materials. A good mortiser, Delta makes a decent one. Remember though, like with any chisel, you need to sharpen it before use. LeeValley makes a cone shaped stone to put in your drill to remove burrs from inside the chisel and you can polish the outs side of the chisel. This will make the whole set up work much better.

It's very common to have to modify, move, or even replace the bar on these
jigs. I have the Delta jig, and when I got it I had a Grizzly 1023. I had to move the bar over an inch or two. The slot-to-blade dimension is different between manufacturers. I say get the jig and plan on modifying the slide bar. It won't be a big deal. I assure you the cast iron jig beats the stain out of any wooden home made contraption. For the money I think it might be the best value tool in my shop. -- ******** Bill Pounds http://www.billpounds.com "BM Cooper" wrote in message ... Hi everyone.

Thanks for the good information. Mine is one of the Emerson models. And it
is slightly narrower than standard (Can't remember how I discovered this anymore). Sounds like I'll have to get creative possibly. Somebody told me today that the newest Delta jigs were designed to compensate for this somehow, though... Either way it sounds like I can make it work with some ingenuity.
