The Tenon Fasteners
There are two versions of the table leg tenon fastener.
The first version is the 1/4″ Adaptable Tenon Fastener™
This includes a micro adjustment feature is only available on the 1/4″ fastener. This feature allows you to make micro adjustments to the x and y position of your table leg. This gives you the ability to fine tune the position of the table leg to account for any variance that may occur with the positioning of your table leg to the edge of your table top.
The second version is the 1/8in Tenon Fastener™
This is a light-weight version of the table leg tenon fastener. It does not have the micro adjustment holes and is perfect for lighter-weight applications like side tables and end tables. This is the most affordable fastener available and perfect for smaller projects. However, don’t be fooled by its weight and size! These little guys are extremely strong and can hold a lot of weight.
The Adjustable Mortise Jig™
The Adjustable Mortise Jig™ creates a shallow mortise and it is packed with features that help you create repeatable precision mortises every-time. This jig works with a standard plunge router that most of us already have in our wood shops. The adjustable mortise jig is designed to work with 1/4″ or 1/8″ template router bits and is made up of two components.
The top mounting member sits on top of the bottom indexing member. The top mounting member has holes that allow you to temporarily attach the jig to the surface of your object. The bottom indexing member has two features. The first feature is the indexing tab, this allows you to set your jig on the very edge or corner of an object. Second features are the alignment tabs, these help keep the jig properly aligned to the surface you are creating your mortise.
The version of this mortise jig can adjust up to three different sizes. This allows you to create mortise sizes that are 4″x4″, 5″x5″, and 6″x6″. These sizes are designed to work with the steel plate tenon fasteners and different table leg sizes and configurations. Let’s take a look at the tenon fasteners.
