I purchased this tenoning jig after some research. Knowing I was going to need to cut some tenons I borrowed a friend's Delta tenoning jig. It seemed like a nice, heavy, well-made jig, but it did not fit my Craftsman table saw miter slot. (I have an early 80's Craftsman table saw; it has a 10" blade, belt drive, left tilt, with a cast iron top and cast iron wings.) Although my friend lent me his jig, he did not give me permission to sand his miter bar to fit my saw. I decided that I needed to buy my own brand new jig and sand down its miter bar to fit my saw. I returned my friend's jig and looked for the best price to buy a new Delta jig. While searching I saw this Grizzly jig advertised alongside the Delta, but with a price of only $59. It looked identical to the Delta; the castings looked identical as did its hardware. I ordered one. It came by UPS today. I unpacked it and set it up on my saw. To use the miter bar in my saw, I had to take off the t-slot rollers. This was an easy job. To remove these rollers, one simply removes the allen bolts that hold them in. After this, I fit the miter bar into my slot with no problem. I did not have to machine or sand it, it fit into my miter slot right out of the box. If slop exists, Grizzly built two allen-key adjustable bolts in the miter bar to remove it. I would also like to mention that the instructions were easy to follow and that the jig was well packed and, although it was coated in cosmoline, it was easy to remove with one rag and some solvent. The jig also comes with its own allen wrenches and is simple to put together. The jig has two sets of holes to mount the miter bar. One set of holes will place the jig closer to the saws blade than the other set of holes. I recommend this product.
