Amazon.com Review:
Tight mortise-and-tenon joinery is an irreplaceable ingredient of many woodworking projects, but cutting tenons accurately can be next to impossible without the aid of a good jig, like this one from Delta. This jig is made with the same quality of castings and precision machining found on Delta's top-of-the-line table saws, giving it the stability and accuracy we desire. We also appreciate its versatility and wide range of adjustment. While the jig is a perfect match for Delta's benchtop and contractor saws, the miter-slot bar can adjust to fit a number of other manufacturers' table saws as well. It can be used with both right- and left-tilt saws, although switching between the two setups does take some time and attention to detail. The jig can be adjusted from 90 to 45 degrees and has adjustable positive stops; of course, we recommend checking your adjustments with a good square and bevel gauge to make sure the stops are set correctly. Getting your tenoning jig set up just right can require some patience, but once done, you'll get a big payoff in accurate tenons, and your projects will have the tightest possible joints. In our experience, few shop accessories will prove as invaluable to your woodworking as this solid tenoning jig from Delta. --Brian Trinen

They don't make em like they used to:
I like this jig. It adjusts smoothly and squarely and all the edged are eased so I didn't have to go around with a file and de-burr the corners. My crank handle was a bit wobbly at first but I unscrewed the hex screw and cut off about 1/16" and filed it smooth and now it cranks like a much more expensive tool. The cast iron face is a little smoother than a typical blanchard ground face and the bottom of the unit (the part that contacts the table) is flat and smooth. I can cut tenon shoulders all day with this thing. What makes my unit so smooth and sturdy? I bought this exact unit 20 years ago for $59.00 because I couldn't afford the big cast iron model Delta used to sell for $350.00 both were made in the United States back then and the finish was carefully done. The parts were thicker and the components fit together with tighter tolerances. I guess the Chinese and Delta have pulled another one over on all of us. My older unit get's 4 stars, the new unit? I don't know. I wouldn't buy one made in china or Taiwan. I've seen the quality and it doesn't exist.

I wanted to buy this jig but....................:
I placed this jig into my shopping cart, got up from my computer to go get my credit card off the table and pay for it and it went up almost 50.00 in a matter of about 5 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It went from 48.99 to 99.99 in just that time. Oh, and by the way Amazon was nice enough to put a pop-up in the corner explaining to me that the price went up! I have spent over a 1,000 dollars at Amazon in the last 3 months and this is how they treat me! They are starting to act like Wal-Mart! God help us all! NOTE: Amazon e-mailed me today and ask me to call. I did but they still refused to make the price what it was and told me that they hope I will still shop with them. My local Lowes has thias same jig for 89.00, I guess Lowes will get my busines. Sorry Amazon.

Glad I bought it:
I was going to buy a tenoning Jig when I was at the Grizzy Outlet in PA but I didn't. But when I saw this delta at the same price I jumped on it. The Jig is first class, had to addapt it to left tilt for my saw. That was a piece of cake the instructions were very clear. I was a machinest for a number of years and this product is machined well.

A Precision Jig That's Worth The Money.:
I bought this jig a couple of years ago from Amazon and have never had a problem installing it or using it. I have one of those newer Craftsman Hybred type saw and the jig works like a clock in it. I've made tenons for cabinets, frames and even a rocker. No problem. Buy it!

Nice adder!:
I shopped for a good tenoning jig for my Delta contractors saw, looking at several different brands from a host of other manufacturers/suppliers. I settled on the Delta unit because of the quality of the unit, the excellent repeatability, and ease of set-up. Good job, Delta!
