- Bandsaw Bridle (Open Mortise and Tenon) Joint *
Watch as I show you how to cut bridle joints (open mortise and tenon joints) on the bandsaw.
Bandsawn bridle joints can be cut effortlessly with the help of a very simple aid. I'll show you this in action, allowing you to make multiple joints all with one fence setting.
For the 'perfect' joint, I knife the joint lines, and finish the joint shoulders by paring with a chisel. However, a very nice joint is achievable straight off a well tuned bandsaw with a good blade.
See my series 'Bandsaw Know How', and learn how to tune your bandsaw before you try this joint:

As with all machinery:
DISCONNECT FROM THE POWER SOURCE WHENEVER GUARDS ARE REMOVED.
USE SOME COMMON SENSE.
u did perfect job :)
What size blade are you using
Goodness me this was a long time ago! I can't remember for sure but I would think probably a 5/8" 4tpi skip tooth or similar. It's not particularly important and mainly affects the fed rate. A 1/4" 10tpi standard blade would be fine if the rip cuts are taken slowly.
hi wath its the mesure of the saw? good vid!
+Didier Valencia Hi. That was my 14" Jet band saw. Happy woodworking, Mitch
☺
Hi Mitch-
Curious as to why you used a high fence for such a narrow piece of wood?
Hi Marc, Golly it's such a long time ago. There isn't any technical reason to use such a high fence, something close to the component height or higher is fine, as long as it's accurate, is good.
That's the problem with the internet, things are around longer than one can remember. I used the stock fence, and the bridle joints are really good. Thanks for the tip on the shim. Worked great. As much as I would like to have cut the joints by hand, my skills with a tenon saw need more improvement. The bandsaw method kept me moving ahead with the project. On to the raised panels next!
Marc Sitkin It's important to keep the momentum up on a project, that way you'll have time after to practice with the tenon saw 😉
Fingers too close to the blade for my liking, otherwise good job.
Cheers. Yes, I should be more careful when filming
