Loose Tenon Joinery With Your Hand Drill

Monday, November 24th, 2008

JessEm’s Zip Slot Mortise Mill transforms your hand drill into a machine for creating loose tenon joints.  Cutting two mortises and using a loose tenon can speed up joinery significantly, because you only need to do one operation multiple times, rather than the three or four operations required with traditional mortise and tenon joints.

The JessEm Precision Sliding Cross-Cut Table

Thursday, May 25th, 2006

post-jessem.jpgJessEm seeks to take the sliding cross cut table to the next level with the introduction of their Mast-R-Slide 7500 featuring a guide mechanism gliding on 30 double-sealed precision bearings staggered “to provide constant contact contact to the guide rails through its travel.”

Measuring 28″ closed and extending for a maximum measured cut of 48″, the Mast-R-Slide requires no suppore legs and is designed to fir right- or left-tilt table saws while being used on the saw’s left side.  However, JessEm indicates that the table saw must have a solid cast iron top 27″ to 28″ deep and the front and rear fence rails will require modification.  (This eliminates most bench-top or portable contractor saws.)

Street pricing starts around $550.
