Precise tenon gauge made from durable aluminum for long service life - Purpose: A height-adjustable tenon gauge designed to set and repeat accurate tenon sizes for cleaner, better-fitting joints. - Material and build: Machined aluminum body for stability, corrosion resistance, and consistent performance during repeated use. - Function: Multifunction tool that combines adjustable measuring and positioning features to reduce the need for multiple specialty jigs. Why you need it - Improves joint accuracy: The height-adjustable gauge lets you set exact tenon heights and repeat settings quickly, reducing trial cuts and wasted material. - Saves time and money: Replaces several separate measuring or setup tools, streamlining setup on router tables and shop benches. - Works for every skill level: Built for professionals, hobbyists, engineers, and students — simple to set up yet precise enough for demanding projects. Key features and compatibility - Height-adjustable gauge: Easily dial in different tenon thicknesses and heights to match mortises or mating parts. - Router-table compatibility: Compact, lightweight design integrates seamlessly with router tables and other benchtop equipment for guided milling and tenon cutting. - Multifunction use: Serves as a measuring, positioning, and setup aid for tenon work without needing multiple jigs. - Lightweight and portable: Simple to carry between workstations while maintaining rigidity during use. - Intended users: Suitable for pros, woodworking enthusiasts, engineering students, and anyone improving joinery skills. Performance benefits - Repeatable setups reduce material waste and rework. - Stable aluminum construction minimizes flex during adjustment and routing. - Clear, consistent adjustments speed up workflow and reduce errors. Typical applications 1) Furniture making — set accurate tenon dimensions for table legs, chair frames, and cabinet doors to ensure tight, aligned joints. 2) Cabinetry and joinery — use on router tables to produce repeatable tenons for series production or matched door frames. 3) Prototyping and education — ideal for engineering students and hobbyists practicing mortise-and-tenon techniques or building small-scale projects. What to expect in use - Mount or position the gauge on your router table or benchtop, set the required height, lock the setting, and make guided cuts with repeatable accuracy. - The gauge reduces reliance on multiple tools, simplifying setup for different tenon sizes and speeding transitions between jobs. No-frills, reliable tool to increase accuracy and efficiency in tenon joinery without adding complexity to your shop.
