Adjustable Stop for Cutting Tenons
Oct 25, 2005
Here is a simple stop-fixture that I use to cut perfect tenon shoulders. The device, which is attached to my cut-off jig, prevents tenon-cheek waste from jamming against the fence, as often happens when using the rip fence as a stop. I just cut the workpiece to the right length, and the stop does the rest.

Starrett 4" Double Square
Head is easy to remove, replace, and lock down; narrowest blade, at 5⁄8 in., made it easier to fit into tight places; hard to read under bright lights.
Veritas Precision Square
This precision square is incredibly versatile, from checking squareness to dialing in machine setups.
Leigh Super 18 Jig
This jig is a value-oriented alternative to the Leigh D4R, but its template system is just as excellent.
