Shop Fox - Tablesaw Tenon Jig H5782
Shop Fox’s version of the heavy-duty jig designed for cutting tenons and other wood joints on the tablesaw.
Feb 01, 2005
The Shop Fox, along with the Delta 34-183 and the Woodcraft, have a pair of vertical handles that distinguishes them from the others in this review. When an angled cut is called for, each of these jigs has a main fence that can tilt the workpiece to the left up to about 18°. Also, using the secondary fence, the workpiece can be tilted forward up to 45°, and an adjustable stop makes it easy to return automatically to the 90° position. You need an Allen wrench to adjust the position of the clamp on these jigs. A knob would have made the process easier.

Sawstop Miter Gauge
It has a toothed angle-setting rack that is extremely solid, accurate, and easy to use, and it offers all of the features I love in a miter gauge, including the ability to add an auxiliary wood fence, and a flip-stop that will accommodate it.
Veritas Standard Wheel Marking Gauge
A wheel-type gauge is the easiest to use, and this wonderful Veritas model is a steal at $38.
Compass
An essential tool for drawing circles and curves accurately. Also good for layout.
