Tenon Jig for table saw

[RinkyDinky]

I want to buy a tenon jig for my table saw and have seen that Rutlands ( :shock: ) have the Dakota one for about £90.

Anyone know of any alternatives or has anyone used the Dakota one and can recommend it?

I want one that is precisely adjustable if possible.

Thanks for the replies ....

I made one to slide along my rip fence. Since the rip fence is micro-adjustable, so is the tenoning jig.

Its very easy to make. I think someone else had the same idea and posted it on this forum. Do a search for 'tenoning jig'.

Hi Ben, I have the Dakota (as do a number of members) and it is very good.

Delta (as used by Norm in the New Yankee Workshop) also do one but I do not know if you can get it over here.

Or if like Simon you want to make your own this one looks pretty good

Thanks for the positive recommendation Mike, i will probably get one if you say it's worthwhile, as i have quite a few tenons to cut and would rather work on my forthcoming project than make one at present. Time dictates in this instance!

Kind regards

Ben

I bought a rockler chinese made one some years ago (LINK) even at todays price plus shipping and taxes it's still cheapest.

I bought this http://www.woodcraft.com/family.aspx?familyid=4847 it was on offer you may want to check who has the cheaper shipping option. I picked woodcraft because they had/have some excellent arkansa oilstones at reasonable price so ordered them too.

i have a dakota jig and it needed a little shimming with paper mainly to put the face in line with the slot and also square with the table. the bar also needed punching to swell it a little. after that it was spot on and quick.

No problem at all with mine.

The woodcraft has adjustment grub screws to take up any slack if required.
