Kreg Tool KLTJ100 MortiseMate Loose Tenon Jig

The Kreg Tool KLTJ100 MortiseMate Loose Tenon Jig is a woodworking tool designed to simplify and improve the process of creating precise loose tenon joints. These joints are often used in cabinetry, furniture making, and woodworking projects that require a strong, accurate connection between two pieces of wood.

Key Features of the Kreg MortiseMate KLTJ100:

1. Loose Tenon Joint Creation:
   The MortiseMate Jig allows woodworkers to easily cut mortises (recesses or slots) in wood to accept loose tenons. Loose tenons are separate pieces of wood inserted into matching mortises on two workpieces to create a strong and durable joint, ideal for furniture construction, frames, and more.

2. Adjustable Settings:
   The jig offers adjustable settings for different mortise sizes, giving woodworkers the flexibility to choose the right mortise width and depth for their project. This makes it easy to work with various wood thicknesses and sizes of tenons.

3. Precise Cuts:
   The MortiseMate Jig uses a simple but effective system to ensure consistent, precise cuts. It is designed to work with a standard drill press (or a router, depending on how you set it up), helping you achieve uniform mortises with high accuracy.

4. Ease of Use:
   The MortiseMate is designed to be user-friendly, even for those who are not experts in making mortise and tenon joints. It includes clear instructions for setup and use, as well as helpful features like guide rails to assist with alignment and accuracy.

5. Durable Construction:
   The jig is made from high-quality, durable materials, ensuring it can withstand regular use and provide consistent performance over time.

6. Compact and Portable:
   The MortiseMate is relatively compact and portable, making it easy to store when not in use. It’s designed for use with a standard drill press or router, so it doesn’t require specialized machinery.

7. Versatile Applications:
   This jig is ideal for a variety of woodworking applications where strong, precise joints are required, including tables, cabinets, frames, and more. It’s particularly useful for projects that call for mortise and tenon joinery but where a traditional mortising machine or chisels would be time-consuming or difficult to use.

8. Compatible with Kreg Accessories:
   As part of Kreg’s tool ecosystem, the MortiseMate can often be used in conjunction with other Kreg tools, such as their pocket-hole jigs or clamps, to make your woodworking projects more efficient.

Benefits:

• Precision and Accuracy: With the MortiseMate, you get professional-level accuracy without the need for expensive or complicated machinery.
• Time-Saving: The jig simplifies the process of making loose tenon joints, saving you time compared to traditional methods like hand-chiseling or using a dedicated mortising machine.
• Strength and Durability: Loose tenon joints made with this tool are incredibly strong, offering a reliable, long-lasting connection between pieces of wood.
