Adjustable Tenon Jig
This table saw tenon jig holds a workpiece vertically or at an angle and adjusts to fit any rip fence.
A shop-built tenon jig will fit nice and snug on a rip fence the day you build it, but over time it can become loose - or too tight - from changes in humidity. Our tenon jig design solves the problem. Each time you mount the jig, you'll adjust the back plate to bring the jig up snug to your table saw fence. And that means clean, accurate tenons on any project, any time of year.

Imperial Plans
The United States Customary System of Units (USCS or USC), more commonly referred to as the English or Imperial system, is the standard set of units for our plans. It uses inches and feet for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are in the United States, and it is the one we have traditionally offered on this website.

Metric Plans
The International System of Units (SI), more commonly referred to as the metric system, is the alternative set of units that we have available for some of our plans. It uses millimeters, centimeters, and meters for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are outside the United States. These plans are provided by our business partner, Australian Woodsmith, and are based on the original Woodsmith plan. However, dimensions and other elements of the plan may vary between the metric and standard versions. Be sure to double-check the plan before building.


Premium Plans
All of the information that you need to build our plans can be found in the standard plan. However, if you want even more granular detail to make your job easier, you should consider our premium plans. These come with additional shop diagrams that we drew when creating the prototypes. Shop drawings are not available for every plan.
