Delta 1172 Tenoning Jig. Heavy cast iron tenoning jig for use on Delta table saws. Also worked on shapers. This heavy (approximately 30 pounds) tenoning jig holds stiles or rails or other narrow pieces securely for cutting tenons on the ends. This is a far superior jig to the cheaper lighter versions sold today. These sell used on Ebay between $250 and $350. If you’ve got one of these, keep it. They are hard to come by.
The Tenoning Jig is a useful accessory for making tenons or grooves easily, fast, safe and accurately on the circular saw. It is ruggedly designed for safe operation in furniture, sash and cabinet factories, carpenter, pattern and maintenance shops, schools and other woodworking shops and plants.
Under the item No.34-172 the customer receives a base plate, guide key, clamp body, guard body, adjustable bracket for the clamp screw, clamp screw with pad, wooden hand grip, ball crank with free turning hand grip and a ball-end adjustable clamp handle.
Additional accessories for making the required tenon or groove, available when ordered extra, are the ground spacing collars, paper washers and dado head. Complete directions for adjusting the tenoning jig and performing all common tenoning and grooving operations are contained in these instructions. The accessories and their use are described briefly.

I found one of these Deltacraft 1172 tenoning jigs in an old barn. I cleaned it up and relocated the guide bar 1 3/4″ to the left, and it seems to work just fine on my Delta 10″ hybrid.

In the middle of the previous century, a man bought one of these for his new wood shop. He used it for many years finally handing it off to his son. The son also used it for many years finally handing it off to me. I am so honored by this piece of arn!
