So I'm working on a project that has many firsts for me. First time creating mortise and tenon joints, first time using my mortise attachment for my drill press, first time using my table saw tenon jig. Creating the mortises went fairly well once I got the attachment set up properly. The tenon jig, not so much. I think I need to do finite adjustments with my gauge to make sure it's perfectly square to the miter slot. I used the table saw to cut part of the tenons and the band saw for the rest. My tenons ended up as trapezoid shapes instead of rectangles! See pictures below. This particular project doesn't require perfection, hence why I'm starting with it, but I'd like to learn how to do better for the next time around. Can anyone offer suggestions on what I did wrong and how to correct it for next time? Thanks!

Table saw techniques and jigs and reviews

Courtesy of Wood Magazine. Some good stuff if you are considering add ons. I was a bit surprised by the similarity of Rockler, Woodcraft, and Grizzly tenon jigs. They all look like knock-offs of my older Delta one (~25-30 years old) Even "Setup/Allignment Guages" [sic] Or maybe they meant alignment gauges Get The Most From Your Portable Tablesaw Wood.pdf
