Figure
6-26.
(A) A tongue or a tenon is formed on the edge of stock
by making two rabbet cuts. (B) Tongues or tenons on
the end of stock are done this way. Always use a fence
extension to provide support.

Tongues
and tenons are made on the edge and end of stock in the same
manner as that described in “Edge Rabbeting.” The
difference is that the first cut is followed by a second one
that is made after the stock has been turned around (Figure
6-26). The thickness of the tongue or tenon will be the stock
thickness minus two times the width of the cut. Length, as
in rabbeting, is controlled by the depth of cut.
When a
tongue or tenon is located across the end grain, you must
use a fence extension for additional support. Chip out is
a problem with end grain jointing, so you'll need to make
light passes and form the tongues or tenons before jointing
the edges of the stock.
