REVIEW: Grizzly H7583 Tenoning Jig

Published 2019-01-12
Since I used this product extensively on my Smallmouth Bass Coffee Table (check out the video!), I thought I'd put together a quick review/use video for the H7583 Tenoning Jig. This video is still on my old YouTube Channel, but I felt it was relevant to chuck it on here in case you were wondering how the thing works. FULL DISCLOSURE: I WORK FOR GRIZZLY (you can see my shining face all over the Grizzly Industrial YouTube Channel). I wasn't paid to do this--heck, they have no idea I did a review even--and thankfully my experience with this jig was much like a lot of other folks in that it worked perfectly (or as good as I could make it work!). Thanks for watching, SUBSCRIBING, and following along with my little shop and have a great New Year!

NOTE: The price for this jig has kicked-up since the Christmas sale, so if you're looking to score one, check back to the Grizzly site for upcoming sales.

    Just bought one because of this video! It’s on sale now for $99. Thank you!

    Glad I watched this. Have had mine for about three years and haven’t unboxed. Now ready to go!

    Nice holiday present to yourself! Good choice. I have had one of these for years and it is an excellent tool. I recommend (1) that one keeps it reasonably clean, (2) that one check it for square and true every so often, and (3) that one use a flat-top grind rip blade to cut joinery. This tool will not disappoint. Grizzl;y RUILES!

    Found same one (new) at flea market not to long ago. Works great.
  • What is the maximum vertical capacity? In other words, how far off the table is the bottom of the little vertical fence (the one that tilts back to make mitered tenons)? I'm wanting to do some castle joints with 3x3 legs and squared off 2x4's. That means the depth of the mortises on the 3x3 will be about 3" deep. Can this jig handle that without the saw blade hitting that little vertical stop/fence?

    I guess I'm "late" to the game...Looks like Grizzly replaced this model with the T30491, which I recently purchased at the sale price (still greater than 4 years ago $85). I see only minor differences, but, thanx for making and "posting" this video. I like mine
  • I hope you still work at grizzly, that you are still making videos, and that you read this comment. With 14 comments I assume you will. Whether it's because you police the comments to not allow negative comments about Grizzly, or that just a few of the thousands of people who watch the video comment, I don't know. Either way I feel like you will at least be notified of this comment. My brother and I purchase the wood lathe with duplicator this past summer. I looked for reviews on it and couldn't find anything useful, like s video of it in use. I thought it was s little odd, but I have used Grizzly tools before and have always had a positive opinion of the company and its products. That changed once I tried to use the lathe duplicator. The lathe itself is s decent tool. But the duplicator is absolute garbage. By design it breaks the cardinal rule about working with s wood lathe. You have to hold the cutting instrument tight against the tool rest, with the tool rest close to the material, and st the right angle to avoid chatter and the wood ruining bite. The duplicator slides on a center rod. Above that is the knuckle that allows the cutter to move up and down as the Stilus follows the contour of the pattern. Well, the rod flexes up and down and back and forth making it impossible to not get chatter that causes it to bite into the spindle and tear out chunks of wood. They told me no one else has ever had an issue with it. Everyone I have showed it to besides Grizzly, whom I sent a video of how much movement is inherent in the design, bet everyone else said they can't understand how it wouldn't do exactly what it does. I want to see a video of that duplicator working without the movement and chatter. The fact that Grizzly stood behind this product and made us feel like they didn't care that it was a POS that we paid for and lost money on the job because of it's performance, has lost them our business. We already had the table say with the slide picked out to get this year and a drum sander, and a mortiser, but my brother won't do it. Every time I say something about a Grizzly tool he points to the lathe and duplicator and says, aren't they the ones who sold us that thing. All I asked for was that they give us a store credit for the duplicator ($400 of the $1300 we spent on it). Nope. They said they would evaluate the lathe and duplicator. I ftjey found a faulty part they would either fix it or refund our money. But if they didn't find a faulty part they would bill us for shipping and handling for both ways. They ruined my opinion about Grizzly and soured my brother on his first purchase from them He decided to buy a Festool track saw to replace my Grizzly track saw and is purchasing a saw stop and a slide attachment. He's spending more money than w would have with Grizzly because he thinks their tools are crap now and their customer service is a sham.
