Table Saw Multi Jig

This is a table saw jig for cutting mortise and tenon and angle cuts according to this video. The video also shows how to use this jig and demonstrates special safety features, that secures the table saw cutting blade.

About

The jig must be attached to the fence. The workpiece can be attached to the fence using the clamps on the table saw, allowing a joint to be cut at any angle.

The safety carriage can be attached separately with the clamps hanging on the circular saw and protects the user from contact with the saw blade.

Mortise and Tenon

Jigs exist to make work easier, safer and more accurate. They shouldn’t be complicated projects in and of themselves – they should be something simple you can put together quickly so you can get on with your work. This jig enables you to safely make a cut on the table saw with the workpiece held vertically as it moves over the blade.

Cut the tenon shoulders first, then clamp a part in the jig and move the fence next to the blade. A rip blade will make easier cuts than a combination blade, but either will work. Raise the blade until it is just below the shoulder line.

Slide the fence over until your layout line is on the edge of the kerf in the insert. Set up so that the scrap falls to the left. Make a test cut and examine the result.

Angle cuts

To make angled cuts, the jig is first aligned with the arbor of the circular saw (video), then the workpiece is positioned in the desired position on the jig with the hold-down device and any remaining wood and then cut to size. This allows precise angle cuts to be made with

Unfortunately, this imperfect angle connection is necessary to achieve a perfect right angle of the jig on the table saw.
