I'm building an outdoor table from Australian and overseas hardwoods. The legs are 100 X 100mm and the apron rails 90 X 35mm.
I have two questions;
1) What width and length should the mortise slots be and how deep should the tenon go into the legs?
The mortise and tenon primer seems to indicate that each shoulder (cheek) should be 1/2 the tenon thickness. This would give me a tenon 19mm thick with each shoulder (cheek) 8mm wide.
However, other articles I read and jigs I see, seem to indicate a mortise slot of 12.7mm (1/2") maximum.
2) If I go to a tenon of 19mm. The max. size spiral upcut bit is 12.7mm. I cannot buy templates for my Triton router at the moment and there is no indication of when they may be available in Australia. Does anyone have a home jig design that would allow me to use a 12.7mm bit to accurately mortise the 19mm slots?
Thanks
