I am researching tenon jigs used on table saws. So far I have located 5 jigs. 3 from Delta (74-183, 74-184, 34-172) 1 from wood stock – Shop Fox right angle jig, and the old standby Sears Universal jig.
Other than home made tenon jigs does anyone know of any other tenon jigs still being produced. I know a lot of catalogs show “knock-offs” of the Delta 74-183 but those are the only ones I can find.
Which tenon jig do you use and how do you like it. I have used the old Sears jig for years and need something better. I bought the Delta 74-183 and now understand why they came out with the 34-184!!
Any response would be appreciated. I work in hardwoods and build furniture for my wife… gives me lots of excuses to buy the latest gizmo.
Thanks

Rosewood,
I bought the General at a WW show last fall. The price was discounted to $89 (I think). It looks quite like all the others except that the parts are reversible so it can go in either dado on the TS.
I have been pleased but kinda surprised on the limited thickness of the stock they all can hold...about 3" or so. Easy workaround by taking off he arm and using a clamp..but still kinda surprised.
