[Woodworkers] Tenon Cutting

Woodworking is scary. As long as you are careful, it's no more dangerous  
than running a piece of wood through a tablesaw. You could also include a  
Plexiglas shield over the blades. In fact I think that's a great idea!!  I  
really amaze myself at times. LOL

I cut a fair number of tenons for the furniture  that I make, and I have 
tried several different methods on a tablesaw. The  method I like the most is 
cutting them on a shaper with two 6" Freud  sawblades. I place a rub collar 
and spacers in between, which gives me  precisely a 1/4" or 5/16"tenon. 
These are the two sizes I use the most.  Fastenal sells 1/2" and 3/4" shims 
which are ideal for dialing in the exact  thickness.  


You could also do these on a router table with 1/2" mandrel.  You must 
careful and use a variable speed router. You must and slow it  down, as most saw 
blades are limited to between 5,000 and 10,000  rpms. 


Either way, make sure your boards are flat, run them face down and you  
will wind up with perfectly sized  tenons. All that is left to do is to  cut 
the shoulders and you are done.
