Figure 22. First structural cheek cut.
B. Cutting Tenon Cheeks:
The tenon uses two styles of cheeks, structural
and cosmetic. In this procedure you will cut the
structural cheeks first, then the cosmetic cheeks.
1. Make sure all jig fixtures, lock levers, and
setscrews are tight and correctly adjusted.
2. Plug the table saw power cord into the power
supply and turn the saw
ON.
3. Grasp the jig firmly and slowly slide the jig
toward the saw blade and make the first
structural-cheek cut (see
Figure 22). DO
NOT slide the jig quickly toward the saw
blade or the jig can raise up and away from
the table.
4. When the blade exits the workpiece, carefully
and slowly pull the jig back past the blade to
the base stop and turn
OFF the saw.
7. Rotate the workpiece so you can now cut the
two cosmetic cheeks.
8. Power up the saw, and make the remain-
ing cosmetic cheek cuts the same way as in
Steps 3
& 4, unplug and turn OFF the saw
(see Figure 24).
Note: For cosmetic cheek cuts, merely rotate
the workpiece 180º instead of using the
spacer block. Cosmetic cheek cut positioning
is not as critical for structural cheek cuts.
5. Remove the spacer block from the work sup-
port base and re-clamp the workpiece.
6. Turn the saw ON and make the second cut
as shown in
Figure 23 and turn OFF the
saw.
