ortise and tenon joints are
used in many forms of
timber construction, such as
frames for panelled doors, carcasses
for furniture and cabinets, legs and
rails for tables and chairs.
Traditionally mortises and tenons have
either been cut by hand or by using
different machines for each operation.
One method of simplifying the whole
procedure is to use the router in
conjunction with the Trend Mortise
and Tenon Jig. By setting up the jig to
cut the tenon, it is automatically set
to cut the mortise, ensuring that
accuracy is maintained throughout.
No repetitive marking-out is needed,
only a quick cutter and guide bush
change to switch between the two
applications.
Simply mounted on the edge of a
workbench, the timber is clamped
beneath the top plate of the jig
vertically for tenons and horizontally

for mortises. The router cutter is
then plunge cut into the timber, the
path of the router being controlled
by the selected guide bush and the
adjustable top plate template. In this
way both the tenon and the mortise
are finished with rounded ends
producing a perfect fit.
The jig is adjustable in both planes to
allow angled or compound tenons to
be cut as well as square end tenons.
The Mortise and Tenon Jig can also be
easily set up to cut many other forms
of mortise and tenon joints, such as
haunched and mitred.
Made of steel construction it is
supplied complete with integral
clamps, five plastic guide bushes, 1
inch steel guide bush and one 2-1/8
inch guide bush collar and an easy to
use set-up bar.
