STRUCTURE OF A MORTISE AND TENON JOINT
Parts of a simple or “blind” joint are (Fig. 24):
A. Structural Shoulder
B. Cheek
C. Cosmetic Shoulder
D. Mortise
E. Mortise Walls
Lay out the mortise and tenon on the workpieces (Fig. 25),
but keep these items in mind when laying out the joints:
• To avoid premature joint failure, avoid locating a tenon
in a disfigured part of the grain (a knot), for
unpredictable movement of the joint may occur. Use
straight, flat, common-grained stock.
• The tenon will shrink in width away from the mortise
walls, possibly revealing the mortised hole. When
possible, produce tenons with shoulders on all
four sides - two structural and two cosmetic - to
conceal the mortised hole when wood movement
occurs.

Fig. 24

Fig. 25

• The objective is to make the parts fit closely together. Maximize the gluing surface by making the tenon as long as possible
(approximately 1/2 the width of the stile or longer, if using narrow stock). Balance the joint by using the same amount of
wood in the tenon as in the combined thickness of the mortise walls (Fig. 26). If one piece of wood is larger than the other,
make the tenon as thick as possible (Fig. 27).
• Remember to figure the kerf of the saw blade when setting up for the cut.
• Cut all mortises first. Make the mortise 1/16" deeper than the length of the tenon to allow for glue.

Fig. 27

Fig. 26

You can use several different methods to cut a mortise and tenon. The following information illustrates one of the easiest and
safest methods and utilizes cheek cuts first, then shoulder cuts. Use a base stop (F) Fig. 28 that is the same thickness as
the base plate (G) of the tenoning jig (H) and spacer block (K) that is the combined thickness of the tenon and the saw blade,
to make the cutting more efficient. This method eliminates possible errors caused by thickness variations in the workpiece,
and avoids trapping cut-off pieces between the saw blade and vertical support plate (N).
NOTE: Perform your practice cuts on scrap material before cutting good wood.
Use a slow feed rate to help prevent the tenoning jig from lifting during a cut.
1.

Clamp a base stop (F) Fig. 28 (the same thickness as
the base plate (G) of the tenoning jig (H)) on the front of
the saw table. This will allow tenoning jig to pass over
the base stop (F).

2.

Make a spacer block of wood (K) Fig. 28, equal to the
thickness of the tenon plus the thickness of the saw
blade.

With the tenoning jig (H) Fig. 28 located at the front of
saw table and over the base stop (F), load the spacer
block (K) and the workpiece (L). Securely clamp both in
place with the clamp handle (M). Make certain that both
pieces of wood are against the vertical support plate
(N) and the backup board (P).
Gently push the tenoning jig (H) Fig. 28 toward the saw
blade until workpiece is near the saw blade. Adjust the
tenoning jig (H) and the saw blade to make the first
cheek cut. Return the tenoning jig (H) to the front of saw
table.

CUTTING THE SHOULDERS OF THE TENON
Disconnect Machine from Power Source
To avoid personal injury or damage to the machine, always use a cross-cut blade to perform the
shoulder cuts of the tenon.
When performing the shoulder cuts of the tenon, do not cut into the cheeks of the tenon. It will
greatly reduce the strength of the joint.
NOTE: Perform your practice cuts on scrap material before cutting good wood.

1. Remove the tenoning jig from the machine.
2. Lay the workpiece (L) Fig. 32 on the saw table and adjust the saw blade (R) to cut the structural shoulders of the
tenon.
3.

Clamp a wooden stop block (S) Fig. 33 to the front of the saw fence (T), and adjust the saw fence to cut the structural
shoulders of the tenon.

NOTE: Remember to figure in the width of the saw blade.

prevent the workpiece from being
trapped between the saw fence and the
saw, causing kickback. Make sure that
the workpiece is clear of the wooden
stop block (S) before contacting the saw
blade.
4. Use a miter gauge (W) Fig. 34, equipped with a backup
board (X), to position the workpiece (L) so that you can
cut the structural shoulders. Make certain that the
workpiece (L) is against the wooden stop block (S) and
the backup board (X).
5. Connect the machine to the power source.
6. Turn the machine “ON” and perform the structural
shoulder cut by slowly pushing the miter gauge (W) Fig.
