Thank you. The face frame in the video was being made at the same time as the door for the opening. The door featured a molded inner edge and a groove for the raised panel, moving the tenon off center. To save time, I chose to use the same layout and set up for the face frame.
Very pertinent (to me) info Robert! As a tool n die maker wannabe and lifetime woodworker, I totally appreciate the value of close tolerances! Great presentation of the info!
OK all you naysayers, let's see your videos!The fellow is producing free educational videos and you bash him?Great job and much thanks for sharing the knowledge, excellent work.
I'm glad you liked the video. The tool is called a surface gage. Type that in the search box on ebay and you'll see around 300 for sale. I'd stick with Starrett, Lufkin or Brown & Sharpe. If you want a new one, Shars looks good.
4 years later, but I'm pretty sure it's either to protect the face of the jig, or to ensure that you have an exact surface distance you can measure accurately to zero the jig off of
400 years. Yes Just what I wanted to know Accuracy and someone looking to make projects that last a long time. Not this MDF not that I don't like MDF or use it but come on we see so much particle board cheap stuff that cost an arm and legg. And people buy it after being told its real hardwoods get it home and find out its hardwood veneer Not hardwood. I want my stuff to last a lifetime not until it gets wet or someone sets down a cup of hot coffee .
I apply glue to both the tenon and the mortice, as any competent woodworker would, so there is no risk of glue starvation The Grizzly jig works very well. A friend let me borrow his Powermatic jig and it appears to be the same tool with a different color paint. You may find it ridiculous, but technique results in a precise, fast and strong joint. My name is Rob, Robert or Mr. Millard not Bob
This maybe the greatest tenon video of all time
Thanks Rob. Your attention to detail and overall precision is remarkable.
Damn it! I never saw a video of someone thinking *that* deep of two pieces of wood fitting together and tolerances. Awesome!
Good instruction. I will have to get the 'ole dial indicator to double check my accuracy. Thanks, Steve

Pro trick: you can watch movies at flixzone. I've been using it for watching lots of of movies recently.
@Jaylen Shiloh Yea, I have been watching on Flixzone for years myself :)

The rabbit ears on the back of the calibers are used for measuring inside holes/slots. Thanks for the info!
Rob, great information. I've worked with precision tools for 30+ years in industry and I use them in my woodworking, too. Great video and technique.
excellent craft and presentation

What use is a surface gauge without a a surface plate?
Rob you're an excellent, eloquent teacher. May I ask why this kind of tenon is off centre?
excellent presentation Robert. I'm already looking for the mighty mag, and sine bar!!!!!
I literally laughed out loud when I seen you use the caliper! To measure the inside you use the spreader side of the caliper buddy
Great video. Could you send me please the link in e.bay or name of tool to measure the deep of saw? Thanks in advance

What purpose does it serve to put a backer board against the jig?

A lot of talk...
you mean the table that lasted 200 years....video is a waste of time
Ridiculous - just like the video editing. A Grizzly tenoning jig eh? Have you ever heard of "glue starvation" Bob?
