Since 99% of people are going to rest their left hand on the clamp, it is in the right place to keep from violating the 3 inch rule. Also I saw the same thing on the first cut. Probably a shadow or the jig was run too close to the blade at some point.

Looks like 1/2 of a dado set. A thick dado set.

I definitely see the benefit with this approach when cutting the face cheeks and face shoulders. But I don’t see the advantage with this blade and jig when it comes to the edge cheeks and edge shoulders.

I could be missing something here.

I think you need to move the clamp down a bit so that it’s closer to the joint being cut. You can see while cutting the third cheek that the workpiece isn’t sitting flat against the backing board, which means that the tenon is going to come out on the thin side.

Sorry Clay – Infinity. I added a link in the text to make it easy to find on the manufacturer’s site.

Who makes this wonderful blade? I have a definite use for that.
