What is the best way to cut tenons???? 
Is the tenon jigs for a table saw worth having??? Do they work. You know
how salesmen are. Everything works great in there " sales make me money
mind" thanks for your help

Mark:

I got the Delta Tenoning Jig a couple of years ago. It was machined rather
poorly, I had to file it down to even be able to set it up properly. After
a bit of work though it works extremely well. I made my own
birch/plywood/hardwood unit that did OK but not as well. Not due to
accuracy, but it tended to get chewed up on the outfeed side, and
micro-adjustments were more difficult as it depended on the fence.

Vega makes one, as does Powermatic. I got a Vega PMG and it was so lousy I
returned it the next day, haven't looked their way since.

I use my jig quite often, like it a lot.
