“The best jig I’ve used is the Leigh® FMT [Frame Mortise and Tenon]." "...you’ll crank out accurate and identical joints so fast you’ll almost feel guilty." "...if you value your time and want accuracy, you won’t be disappointed." -Robert J. Settich, Built-Ins (Taunton’s Build Like A Pro)

FMT Sidestop Fence The redesigned sidestop fence is simple to install and use for all 90º tenons. Angled and compound tenons are easily aligned
and routed when the fence is reversed front to back. When inverted top to bottom on the jig, the upper portion of the fence supports the ends of small mortise boards, preventing board deflection and vibration.
