From the Manufacturer This trailblazing tool provides a quick and easy, all in one solution to cut both a matching mortise and tenon with a single inexpensive jig. The jig is ready to use right out of the box to produce 1/4-inch mortise and tenon joints for cabinets, furniture and frames. Included are the bushings for also producing 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch joints. Using a plunge router with the jig, woodworkers can cut fully aligned mortises and tenons ranging from 1/4-inch to 1/1-inch wide and from 1-inch to 3-inches long. The unit can be mounted directly on a workbench or onto a board that can be clamped in a vise or to a bench. Review: Great Jig in my experience - I have used a number of commercial jigs over the 40+ years that I have been woodworking (hobby). I would say the General mortise and tenon jig is very close to some of the most expensive jigs that I have ever used (e.g., Leigh) in terms of ease of use, accuracy, and overall function. So far, I have only used the jig to make 1/4 inch thick mortise and tenon joints for small cabinet doors. It was easy to learn and set up, and the joints are tight and accurate. My only complaint is that the mechanism for tightening the wood in place are hard on the fingers Review: Great Concept but Needs Some Work - This jig is made of solid aluminum and very sturdy. Instructions are very well written by someone who obviously speaks English as his primary language. It needs to be mounted on a board and clamped to your benchtop. The concept works well--tenons fit nicely into mortises. But it's tedious. I'm building a kennel for my dog and bought the jig to make the joints for the many (21) bars and corner joints. Boards are held in place by two clamps--one for mortises and one of tenons. Each clamp has two thumbscrews which must be tightened and released by turning the screws alternately several times. Not a big deal--unless you're making a lot of repetitive cuts. A simple lever clamp would improve the process immensely. When I went to the website to register my jig, I couldn't because the item has apparently been discontinued. Too bad, because it could be easily upgraded to make it more efficient and accurate. ## Features - TABLE ADJUSTERS: Our mortise machine features integrated clamps and swings arms that align and secure wood for accurate joints. Set your joint length, align the wood in the jig, and cut your mortise or tenon with any plunge router. - TENON MACHINE: Mortise and tenon joints are strong, stable, and used in many projects. It's considered one of the strongest joints next to the common dovetail, and they connect by either gluing or locking into place for a strong outcome. - MORTISE AND TENON TOOLS: Our box includes a 1/4" high-speed up-cut spiral bit, bushing guides for 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" tenons, a two-part base plate/bushing adapter, centering tool, and adjustment wrench. - ROUTER TABLE ACCESSORIES: Lock your chisel in place and create the perfect setup with our mortising machine. This unit can be mounted directly onto a workbench, a board that clamps in a vise, or a bench. - GENERAL TOOLS: We're a recognized leader in designing and developing specialized precision tools dedicated to delivering exceptional customer service. We encourage artisans and DIYers to work smarter, measure better, and repair more productively. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00563TL2Y | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #574,352 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #1,424 in Power Tool Accessory Jigs | | Color | No Color | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 3.9 out of 5 stars (523) | | Date First Available | June 22, 2008 | | Included Components | 1/4" Spirit Router bit, Bushing kit, Wrench | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 1 pounds | | Item model number | 870 | | Manufacturer | General Tools | | Material | Plastic | | Part Number | 870 | | Power Source | corded-electric | | Product Dimensions | 15 x 4 x 4.2 inches | | Shape | shape | | Size | No Size | | Usage | specific_uses_for_product | | Warranty Description | 1 year parts | ## Images ![General Tools Mortise and Tenon Jig - Drill Template Set with Hollow Chisel Bit Attachment - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71VGrLNwWIL.jpg) ![General Tools Mortise and Tenon Jig - Drill Template Set with Hollow Chisel Bit Attachment - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81KUkrv-+RL.jpg) ![General Tools Mortise and Tenon Jig - Drill Template Set with Hollow Chisel Bit Attachment - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71K3eUjC2RL.jpg) ![General Tools Mortise and Tenon Jig - Drill Template Set with Hollow Chisel Bit Attachment - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/719B6QH4sAL.jpg) ![General Tools Mortise and Tenon Jig - Drill Template Set with Hollow Chisel Bit Attachment - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71wnAo8YvpL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this tool work to build a mortise and tenon roof and floor wood made?** A: If you are asking if this tool would work to build a "Timber Frame" constructed house. The answer is "NO" it is much to small. This tool only works on maybe 1"-2" thick lumber. It is made for table legs and things like that. **Q: which routers is this jig compatable?** A: The base plate must be designed to take Porter-Cable bushings, sometimes called "standard bushings". If it doesn't then you can look for a "standard" baseplate, but you may need to drill some holes in the plate. Check with the router manufacturer. I think using a fixed base router is foolhardy to use on this jig. **Q: I have a bosch router, could i use with the 870 e z pro??? because the bushings... suplied with it...** A: It will work with the Bosch RA1166 Plunge Router Base if you add the RA1129 Bosch Quick Change Template Guide System which you can buy separately or as part of the RA1128 8-Piece Template Guide Set. **Q: can the template be used with a straight bit?** A: I believe so, however it will need an appropriate bearing to guide it around the jig. I think a straight bit with bearing came with it when I purchased mine. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Jig in my experience *by A***R on June 25, 2022* I have used a number of commercial jigs over the 40+ years that I have been woodworking (hobby).

Too bad, because it could be easily upgraded to make it more efficient and accurate. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great jig *by T***A on November 2, 2019* Bought this for making cabinet face frames. I'm not sure why so many are leaving bad reviews for it: read the manual, take the time to set it up correctly and use a little sense and it’s a terrific tool. Honestly, I'm NOWHERE on the professional scale. This is my first attempt at making true joined face frames and I found it a breeze. Again: read the instructions, read them again because you were probably in a hurry the first time.... then take the time to set up and learn the tool and you should have no problems. The only complaints I have: 1. it did not come with a manual. I had to visit the manufacturers website and do some searching to find the manual, download, and print a copy. 2. There were two included accessories that were not mentioned anywhere in the manual, a stop clamp for repeatable cuts, and two small clips to act as 1/2" shims when mounting stock less than 2" wide. I figured them out, but it would’ve been handy to have them referenced. ## Frequently Bought Together - General Tools Mortise and Tenon Jig - Drill Template Set with Hollow Chisel Bit Attachment - General Tools Woodworking Dovetail Jig - 12" Template Kit for Furniture & Wood Cabinet Making,Gold - Yakamoz 2Pcs 1/4 Inch Shank Dovetail Joint Router Bits with Bearing Guide Dovetail Jig Bit for Furniture Building Cabinet Making Woodworking Cutter Tools --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/2553359-general-tools-mortise-and-tenon-jig-drill-template-set-hollow](https://www.desertcart.in/products/2553359-general-tools-mortise-and-tenon-jig-drill-template-set-hollow) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-08-22*
