Jets design fits all left- and right-tilt saws with a 3/8- by ¾-inch slot for the miter gauge, found on most standard saws. Its made of brute-strong cast iron, and the fit and finish are Jet quality. Its made for a T-slot groove, but the T is removable to fit a plain grove as well. Assembly is quick and straightforward, and the beauty and precision of the jig will be apparent during your calibration and setup.
If youre in production work, this jig is a great choice, because its got a quick-release feature that gets your finished piece out and your new stock in place in just a couple seconds. The handwheel tightens your workpiece securely against the fence, and fast, gross adjustments are a snap: just loosen the locking levers, move the fence and tighten them up again. But fine adjustments are just as easy loosen both levers, move the fence, tighten just one of the levers, adjust the fence with the knob and tighten down the second lock lever.
Building chairs? Even angled tenons are a breeze, because the backstop tilts quickly and easily to accommodate an angle. Be sure to mount a wood block spacer to the fence before that type of cut, though; Jets provided four holes in the fence for that.
Theres nothing we can think of that would improve this jig; it holds your workpiece like a vise and gives you both a horizontal and vertical handle for a superb, safe grip. Repeated cuts couldnt be more accurate.
We know there are woodworking purists for whom building a tenoning jig is a rite of passage, and we salute you. But this jig is so cool, you might want to pick one up after youve built your own.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

ROBUST Design HEAVY!!,
By Sawdust Monkey "Sawdust Monkey" (Portland Or) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jet 708295 Tenoning Jig with Quick Release (Tools & Home Improvement)
The price is great compared to the Delta tennoning jig it is less expensive BUT it is far better quality.I looked at the Delta tennoning jig but it was surprisingly substandard to what I expect from Delta. Too bad. This Jet model is awesome all of the design is strong, literally! The design allows for large movements of head then locks down for the micro adjustments. All axis adjustment and the miter bar can be mounted in two places for even greater lateral adjustment. Two grips and three mounting locations allow for ease of movement regardless of angle of tennon. Look forward to many years of service from this design. Way to go Jet! Thanks for great job.

Somewhat Disappointed,

This review is from: Jet 708295 Tenoning Jig with Quick Release (Tools & Home Improvement)
After compairing user reviews for Delta, Grizzley, and the JET, the Jet was an easy choice. It arrived in a timely manner without any shipping damage. During assembly and adjustment things began to get pear shaped. The silver vertical fence that holds the work piece at 90 degrees to the table and adjusts for beveling had a large burr in the upper edge. I'm glad I noticed this before gouging a project piece. I filed the burr off. My table saw is left tilting (Rigid 3650) so I had to move the bar that runs in the miter slot to the left side of the jig. This was no problem, however, neither the fence position scale nor the stop screw that prevents the jig from being able to hit the saw blade are functional. I don't understand this unless the 3650 is markedly different then other table saws? The main problem came when I tried to use the quick release function. When I loosened the small lock lever to release the guide bushing, it was frozen in the housing (no quick release). After disassembly I discovered that the lower tapered bushing that locks / releases the guide bushing had burrs on it. I filed the burrs off, lubed up everything real good but still no cigar. The problem was that the lower bushing was cocking in it's bore and not unlocking the guide bushing. I have been able to work around this defect by pushing down on the small lock lever after loosing it. This action pops the bushing free and enables 'quick release'. Using this tool to make tenons seems to work fine, but, for all the hassle I should have bought the Grizzley for sixty bucks.

Very good quality,

This review is from: Jet 708295 Tenoning Jig with Quick Release (Tools & Home Improvement)
This tenoning jig is very robust and easy to use.Assembly was easy and relatively quick. Fine adjustment were not difficult to obtain. The bottom of the jib was perfectly flat and didn't contain any burr (I had a bad experience with a Delta tenoning jig which scratched the surface of my table saw). On the down side, the instruction manual could have been more detail. The jig came heavly coated with grease which was a real pain to remove. The cursor is a little useless for fine adjustment.
