Hi everyone. I'm trying to determine which after-market tenoning jigs will
work with Craftsman miter slots. I know, I know, everyone is jealous of my
table saw, but it's NOT for sale. (grin) For what it's worth - It's about 3
years old and a (relatively speaking) "higher" end contractor saw (for
Craftsman).
It seems to me that the Delta won't work... Is this true? Any help as to
what might work well would be greatly appreciated.
I'm also looking for advice on a good bench top mortiser. Thanks for your
help! Ben

******************************************************
I bought a Delta Tenoning Jig for use with my Ridgid TS. This saw is
manufactured by Emerson and is the same as those which bear the
Craftsman name. The table slot width is exactly 3/4" while the sliding
bar on the Dellta jig is a bit wider. I removed the bar from the jig,
took it to a local machine shop, and had it milled so that the width
would provide a nice sliding fit. It only cost me a couple of dollars.
As for the bench top mortiser, I bought one made by Delta and have been
happy with it.

=F8=F8=F8=F8=F8=F8=F8=F8=F8=F8=F8=F8=F8
As far as I know, most recent (at least for the last 3 years)
Craftsman saws use a standard miter slot. Certainly, my 3-yr old
craftsman does. In other words, the delta jig should work fine. If
you post the model#, you may be able to get more information out of
this group.
And, I'm very happy with my saw. I've poked and prodded the total
runout below 0.004, have upgraded to an incra fence and a rockler
sliding table system, have build my own dust collection, put in a link
belt and a Forrest blade, and now can slice through thick stock with
no burning or bogging down. (Yes, I could've spent the same amount of
money and bought a cabinet saw, but then I wouldn't have had the incra
and sliding table, which I love - plus, it's easier to get the wife to
allow me to spend >$1K on my saw over 3 years than it was to get her
to agree to plunking down $1K up front).

I got one of the Delta jigs, and the metal guide bar was a tad too big
and snug making it a bit hard to slide in the groove of my dad's olds
Craftman TS. I took the metal bar off of the jig and ground some of the
width off using an old grinder that I salvaged from my dads barn /
garage/ shop when we moved him back to the city years ago. That metal
was HARD, but I eventually got it down enough that the jig slided just fine.

... ah yes! Redneck verb conjugation ... the 'grits and gizzard greens' soul
of the language.
That said, being a good Catholic kid of about 8, with what I though was a
pretty good working vocabulary at the time, and seeing the word
"conjugation" for the first time, I was pretty sure it must have something
to do with sex ... so I was excited as hell when Sister Mary Therese said we
were going to start conjugating.
Boy, was I surprised!

It's very common to have to modify, move, or even replace the bar on these
jigs. I have the Delta jig, and when I got it I had a Grizzly 1023. I had
to move the bar over an inch or two. The slot-to-blade dimension is
different between manufacturers.
I say get the jig and plan on modifying the slide bar. It won't be a big
deal.
I assure you the cast iron jig beats the stain out of any wooden home made
contraption. For the money I think it might be the best value tool in my
shop.

Thanks for the good information. Mine is one of the Emerson models. And it
is slightly narrower than standard (Can't remember how I discovered this
anymore). Sounds like I'll have to get creative possibly. Somebody told me
today that the newest Delta jigs were designed to compensate for this
somehow, though... Either way it sounds like I can make it work with some
ingenuity. In other words: "I gets dat sumbitch slided in dair somehow,
ya'll."

Yes, the newer Craftsman saws are Ryobi made (yeah, I know) and have
standard T-slots, which will work with the Delta tenoning jig, and
probably any other brand. The older Emerson made Craftsman saws had
slightly narrower slots, and I don't think they were T-slots. I'm not
positive when the transition year was, but I think it was around 1999
or 2000. If your Craftsman saw is left tilt, as is mine, make sure the
tenoning jig you buy will work with a left tilt saw. My Delta jig is
the deluxe model (don't know the model # at the moment) and can be
switched for left tilt, but I'm not sure if the regular Delta model
can be switched.

Ben, I took some scrap Baltic Birch plywood, bought a clamp and built mine
to slide over and along my rip fence. About 2 hours of my time and $6 worth
of materials.
A good mortiser, Delta makes a decent one. Remember though, like with any
chisel, you need to sharpen it before use. LeeValley makes a cone shaped
stone to put in your drill to remove burrs from inside the chisel and you
can polish the outs side of the chisel. This will make the whole set up
work much better.

I disagree totally but I guess we're both entitled to our opinions eh?

If the slots are now the standard size, it will work. Some of the cheaper
saws had (have) an odd size and not a true "T" slot. Just measure them and
if they are typical 3/4 x 3/8 it will work. The guide is just plain
rectangle, not a protrusion that must fit into the "T".

From the reviews I've read, there are no really bad ones. I'm happy with my
Delta, the Jet was rated high also in most reviews.
