I recently upgraded my portable table saw fence using 80/20 aluminum extrusions. The difference was well worth the effort and time to engineer it. The BIG bonus is that I now have two locking grooves on the face (blade) side and one on the top to attach fixtures or add runners to a fixture for sliding. Thanks for this video as it gives me ideas on how to create a simple tenon and spline jig to use with my new super-fence!
I like it that you explain the principles. I've been looking at tenoning jigs to make, mainly those that run in the miter slot. Your explanation of torque helped me understand why your type is better. I've had some access to a cabinet saw until the shutdown, so never worried about the limitations of my jobsite saw. Have been using my dw745 and trying to figure out new ways to do things, so really helpful. This base might be useful in other ways, but I'm still thinking about how.
After watching this I really want to get back in my shed after my operation but my wife has said I have to listen to the doctors, so I'll just keep on watching great people like you.
thanks for sharing. I'll be doing some hardcore tennoning work in my contractor's saw soon and this will come in handy! The strong foundation principle is really something that should be taken into account when building stuff.
Great video! This will prove so valuable to anyone with the same or similar table saw and help them improve the tool rather than replace it. Who knows how many marriages you will save! 😮
Hey Shawn, great channel indeed. I'm sorta binge watching your videos and I have learned so much in the past few days. Thanks a lot and keep up the gr8 work.
Sir, I built this jig in order to cut the angles for a triangular flag display case. It worked great and solved a thorny problem! I'm going to tweak this a bit and use it as a spline jig, too. Well done and thank you! Sub'd!
I like the thought process demonstrated in this video, encouraging viewers to think of their own solutions, another fine video, thank you. Incidentally, your "contractor" saw has features and a fence that would kick my £99 ($130) Titan table saw's ass. Still makes dust and I love it!
I have the same saw and I feel your pain but I like this idea of an auxiliary fence for jigs. I have a big piece of 8020 extrusion I think could work well for something like this too.
Just had a thought though, that's a mortising jig isn't it? Or did you just show the mortising part and the jig can be reconfigured to cut the tenon cheeks, which it obviously can be.
Nice! Necessity proves to be the mother of invention once again. But without creativity and some experience ya’ still got nothin’. Fortunately, we have your experience and expertise. I almost never think of blue tape for shimming. I do keep a deck of cards in the shop to use like you did business cards. Great video‼️ 👍
Very ingenious jig to safely accomplish a somewhat dangerous cut. Also as you said the main body that rides on the fence can be used for other projects in the future.
G’day mate, love your work. Im still pretty new to wood working and was after some advice on how you choose blade for a mitre saw? I have been using the blade the saw came with but am looking to upgrade.
Check out diablo blades Hastings, had good luck with them myself. Got one for my mitre saw at Bunnings for not an outrageous amount. (I'm assuming you're from down here from the g'day :D)
would screwing a substantial size piece of scrap wood to a crosscut sled, the clamping the workpiece to the stop block, work? i feel like that would have been the fastest, cheapest option.
Why not use the miter gauge? Assuming you adjust the saw to be sure the gauge is parallell to the blade, this would be more stable than the fence. Make the jig tall enough to support the pieces and have multiple clamps to hold the pieces firmly against the jig.
At the end of your video you mention going to your WEB site to make a purchase. Where is the link to your site? You should have included that in the description.
wortheffort.com. he usually has it listed in the description of all his videos, this one didn't. but you can also click on his name to get to his channel home and find links there/
I like everything about the tenoning jig except that toggle clamp. Every time you clamp it down, you are applying force that gets multiplied by the height of the clamp above the table. You are, in effect, prying open the tenoning part that rides on that "foundation" Over time, it has to loosen up the parts, because of the leverage that you are applying, which will eventually force the appliance out of square, ruining what, in all other aspects, is an excellent jig.

I really like the way that you make tools work beyond their "normal" capacity and safely!Good job, well demonstrated as always.
Thanks

Get out there. I won’t tell.
When making the foundation, did you have to remove the clips that holds the push stick? how would it flush against the inner of the fence otherwise?

That was a work of Art..I know because I studied beauty all my life.and you got it...I loved you video...

Thanks
Thank you so much for your great details video
Very clever design! I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see how you would solve all the problems you outlined at the start of the video.
Thanks
Exactly what i needed to see for cutting the 22.5° miters for a flag case on my new little portable Ryobi jobsite saw. Great videos man.
Thanks for the same Table saw
Good ideas, well explained and demonstrated. Thank you
Thanks
Great video. Keeping it simple. Well done.
Thanks

Nice and easy!
Nicely done. I've been thinking about a tenoning jig for my old Grizzly saw and this seems to be the trick.
Try it

Gracias por compartir. Its such a clever idea.
This was fantastic!
Thanks
thank you you are so right its all ways worth the effort
Thanks
Such a precious class. Thank you very much!
Question: don't you deserve a cabinet saw? Maybe a Jet one?
Kind regards.
I use what I can afford....
Oops! Sorry for asking.
Thanks - great video!
Great video.
Thanks
Nice easy to watch.
Ya, I am a handsome gent.
Just had a thought though, that's a mortising jig isn't it? Or did you just show the mortising part and the jig can be reconfigured to cut the tenon cheeks, which it obviously can be.
The term mortise means hole with wood all around it except for entry. This would be a bridle.

Gave me some ideas to do with my saw. Thanks....rr

A fine crosscut. Check out my ‘intro to woodworking 1-01a” in classroom series to understand why.
I was able to build one that actually works well.

XCELLENT
6:48 - Hey, I think you just thought of a new woodworking saying: "If your joints are gappy, your customers won't be happy." 👍🏻😄
would screwing a substantial size piece of scrap wood to a crosscut sled, the clamping the workpiece to the stop block, work? i feel like that would have been the fastest, cheapest option.
No brace up tall. Seems like more work to set up again.
your awesome
Thanks
Would be tempted to put positions for 2-3 parts on the fence, so clamp 3, run 3, turn 3, run 3.... cut time isn't going to be the slow part.
Why not use the miter gauge? Assuming you adjust the saw to be sure the gauge is parallell to the blade, this would be more stable than the fence. Make the jig tall enough to support the pieces and have multiple clamps to hold the pieces firmly against the jig.
torque...
I wonder whether a simple box could've done the trick
without anchoring it to something you run the risk of flex/movement.

I picked up one of his dovetail markers after his video on how to make them. His is a lot nicer than the one I made!
wortheffort.com. he usually has it listed in the description of all his videos, this one didn't. but you can also click on his name to get to his channel home and find links there/
Just on oversight but I did have the address in the video at that very spot. Not hard to remember.
Hope all is well Shawn. Looking forward to some new content, soon I hope?
Goes a bit slower when you're making 100 items in a video compared to one.
And then the edit...
It's appreciated anyway.
I think I'd have given up and just used the Bandsaw even though you'd have to watch the depth with each cut.
Bandsaw is my go to method bc of speed of setup. But it’s slower. Doing 400 cuts in a batch I figured it’d be smart to build this for future use.

I dont have a table saw so I would set the fence on my bandsaw and a depth stop, pretend I am resawing
I showed that method in other videos. Always giving options.
Very long winded
That’s to much you are doing.
What you have is a job site saw not contractor.
Same difference
A lot of blah, blah, blah!! The interesting thing starts at 10:00 (in 20 minutes of video, 10 of speech is very hard) you´re welcome!!
