Adjustable Tenon Jig

Build a precision-adjustable tenon jig for your table saw that fits any rip fence and makes cutting tenons safe, accurate, and repeatable.

Upgrade your table saw with this adjustable tenon jig—a versatile, shop-built solution for cutting accurate, repeatable tenons with ease. Unlike most homemade tenon jigs that fit only one fence size, this jig features an innovative adjustable design that works with any rip fence up to 4¾ inches wide. Whether you're cutting standard tenon cheeks or angled joinery like splined miters, this jig offers the precision and flexibility you need.

Built for both safety and performance, the jig holds your workpiece vertically, ensuring clean and accurate cuts on the ends of your boards. A replaceable vertical stop allows for quick angle adjustments, while multiple stop positions give you control over a variety of joinery tasks. The clever clamping system uses front and back fences and a horizontal connector with slots, allowing the jig to slide smoothly along your fence without binding—even with seasonal wood movement.

Perfect for woodworkers looking to improve joinery precision or expand their table saw capabilities, this adjustable tenon jig is easy to build with basic materials and delivers results that rival commercial options. It's a must-have for any serious woodworking setup.
