price / performance can't be beatJul 22, 2006
By funbear
Grizzly ceases to amaze the ww world. This Tenoning jig is of very high quality. Although its not advertised, the fine tension knob is capable of .001" fine adjustments, although it requires a bit of finger precision.
Only one minor complaint which is why I did not give 5 stars..... The jig moves on its own sliding platform. While adjusting the distance to / fro the blade, the top platform (which holds the wood) can wiggle from square to unsquare, as the top platform does not slide on any type of alignment system. This would be a nice addition to the jig. Of course, this can be compensated by re squaring, but a bit cumbersome. Although I don't recall seeing this on any tenoning jig. So overall, the jigs price performance is superb... and surface area is dead flat, Kudos to Grizzly.
I wonder why the very similar (same?) Shop Fox version of this same jig is 2x the price? Grizz and Shop Fox are now under same ownership....

 Wow- What a tool, what a price!Jun 24, 2006

Ordered on Tuesday-received on Friday!!! Opened the box and laid out all the parts, nothing missing or damaged-Grizzly even supplied the hex wrenches. Main body of tool was well protected and lubricated. Instructions were good and the tips and hints were helpful. HERE'S A SECRET - Save yourself 50%- this the exact same (except color and logo) as the D**** tool at half the cost. On top of that, I'd rather show off the GRIZZLY brand than that hobby shop name. Performs like a dream, tight and accurate.

Tenoning JigFeb 28, 2007
By YSU65
I picked up the jig at Muncy and had to clean it up from the protective grease. In the summer I would normally do this with brake cleaner but since it was zero outside, I had to use conventional MS inside.
I had to convert the jig to left tilt, not a problem but the face would not line up to the blade. I had to open up one of the alignment holes but then it worked out fine. The alignment instructions are incorrect and need editing.
BLADE CLEARENCE ADJUSTMENT
. . . .
6. Observe the contact of the saw blade . . . as shown in Figure 11.
. . . .
If the work support plate is not parallel with the blade, go to step 6.
Ugh, I am on step 6.
There are also two item 10's.
But it is working fine right now.

Outstanding Tool!Dec 08, 2007
By Tony D. Baker

If you are reading this review it's probably because you read the reviews for the Delta jigs and kept looking because of their poor showing. Like many others who have written reviews for this jig, I too was both suspicious of the price (compared to other `name' brands) and very concerned about departing from my favorite (Delta) brand of woodworking tools. Bottom line: You have nothing to be worried about. Buy this jig without hesitation.
Virtually every time I have bought something for ½ the price of the "quality" version of the item I have been disappointed and forced to re-learn the "you get what you pay for" lesson. This Grizzly jig is the rare exception to this rule. I am impressed with every aspect of this jig: packing, fit and finish, ease of assembly/use, set-up, quality of design, materials, and overall craftsmanship. Who ever in monitoring quality control in Grizzly's factory in China is certainly earning their salary.
I spent a couple hours (taking my time listening to football) cleaning and assembling the jig. Lacquer thinner takes the cosmoline (packing grease) off with ease. Set up is very easy and quick. The jig comes ready for a right-tilt saw. Configuring it for a left-tilt saw (like I did) is a snap. I put a coat of paste wax on all the unpainted surfaces including the bottom. It glides across my saw.
You will not just be happy you got a bargain price and saved some money when you buy this jig. This is an exceptional tool of higher quality than the name-brand companies. The fact it costs half as much is a mystery. Hurry up and buy one before Grizzly figures out they have under-priced this tool!

 Good Jig / Very Bad BaseFeb 15, 2009
By Gregory C. Decker
I believe most of the tenon jigs presently in the US all share this same problem as they seem to come from the same foundry in China. The problem is that the bases are not milled flat and the jigs rock on the saw table, something one does not want with a tenon jig. I've ordered 2 Grizzly jigs, one Shop Fox jig and purchased locally a Delta tenon jig. ALL rock on the saw and are warped in the same plane. The Delta jig (4th one) I purchased from a local Western Tool Distributor and when I explained that the 3 previous (Amazon) jigs were warped, we took it out of the box and put in on a brand new Delta saw. He was scratching his head when it rocked also. We measured a front to back warp of .005" and corner to corner .012" warp. All of these jigs are exactly the same right out of the box except for the paint and name...right down to the broken styrofoam corner over the jig backstop in each box. Until this present stock of jigs get thrown in the recycle pile one will be hard pressed to get a well machined jig. As for me, I returned both Grizzly Jigs and the Delta (it was+$40 more with tax than the SF Jig). I needed one for a project and ended up gluing plastic shim stock to the base of the Shop Fox jig so it would not rock.
