Tenon Jig. The best tablesaw tenon jig in the world is from www.workshopessentials.com. This is what it looks like.
Traditionally this has meant using an unguarded blade as well as slow and tedious winding of a lead-screw from one tenon cheek to the other.
This jig does the same job but is very fast and my saw remains guarded at all times. It's simply the best tablesaw tenon jig in the world, bar none. It's also cheap to make! Upgrade to the best now!
I hope you're planning a companion slot mortiser :)
There are others on the web but most have serious drawbacks in stability or expensive ground & polished parts. Betcha you could make another Ultimate!

Actually I already have one. It's simple and effective and fits to an ordinary bench vice. Plans for it are on Workshop Essentials Volume 2.

How the hell do you cut the mortises on a table saw or for that matter band saw.

Er, I don't. This is a tenon jig, not a mortice jig.....

Very nice jig. I used to employ a table-saw jig, until I decided to settle on the bandsaw for tenon cutting. Apart from by handwork, the bandsaw is the most sensible machine to use for any stage of tenon cutting; and for cutting wedge kerfs too.
But I like this jig. 10/10 ,

Thank you very much. As it happens, I have an equivalent jig for the bandsaw, called, not surprisingly, the Ultimate Bandsaw Tenon Jig. It has a bigger capacity as I am not limited by the depth of cut of the blade. It. too, references of just one face, so your tenon will be where the mortice is, not central-whether-you-like-it-or-not.
