I have some M&T joints that I've made with a couple of homemade jigs over the last couple of days. I am wondering whether I need to tighten up my tenoning jig based on the fit. At first, I had to really push hard with my hands to get the tenon in all the way, to where it seemed like no glue at all would fit... now its just a bit loose. I'm not sure whether -in between- would be perfect because I haven't added any glue yet and I don't know how much expansion there will be.
So I'm wondering if anyone can explain in text how a joint like this is supposed to fit? Is there an online resource that gives a good verbal representation of this kind of thing?
Thanks, Mike
