Cutting tenons - List of cuts

So the next time I can cut them in the right order with a minimum of tooling adjustments: -


1. Long side of the tenons -
Back stop and cutter height to suit first template,
Bottom sash Bottom rail both ends
Top sash Meeting rail both ends
Top sash Top rail both ends


Change back stop, to suit Bottom Sash Meeting Rail template
Bottom sash styles tops only

2. Short side of male dovetail top sash top rail -
Back stop set for rebate in first template, Use angle base (see later) height to suit
Top sash top rail

3. Short side of male tenons -

Set Height using Mortice chisel

Bottom sash Bottom rail both ends
Top sash Meeting rail both ends

Change back stop, to suit Bottom Sash Meeting Rail template rebate
Bottom sash styles tops only (hand cut later to make dovetail male)

I Think !
