Kreg MortiseMate Loose Tenon Jig – Precision Drill Jig for 1/2 to 1 1/2 Inch Thick Wood

Overview

The Kreg MortiseMate Loose Tenon Jig is engineered for woodworkers who value clean, repeatable joinery. By turning a simple drill into a precise mortising tool, it helps you produce strong joints with efficient setup, letting you move from idea to outcome with greater consistency.

Smart engineering for repeatable joints

The jig includes an auto-indexing step-down mechanism that lowers the cutter tip in 1/16 inch increments, allowing you to dial in mortise width and depth with repeatable accuracy across multiple cuts.

Integrated workspace and ease of use

An integrated mini work surface provides a dedicated area for quick, secure clamping, while trigger-style clamps simplify setup for panel and 90-degree joints. These touches are designed to reduce fiddling and keep your workpiece stable during cutting.

Precise, repeatable mortises

Micro adjustment screws paired with laser-etched markings give you control over mortise width and depth, supporting consistent results as you work on successive pieces or longer projects.

Why this tool stands out

The MortiseMate blends sturdy construction with an ergonomic design, aiming to help you bridge the gap between concept and final piece with confidence—without overpromising outcomes.
