Why not use a dado set if it's a high cut into hardwood? I thought it was the only way of doing tenons on a table saw?
Like so many aspects of woodworking, frequently more than one way to achieve a result.
Tenons can be made by e.g.,
a) Normal blade and mitre gauge, making many passes of blade width.
b) Dado set, if you own one
c) Tenon jig or some jig to hold piece vertical on table saw then make horizontal cut on table saw with mitre gauge
d) This video using normal blade, mitre gauge and bump cuts
e) Router bit
f) Hand saw and chisel
g) Hand saw and router plane
h) Hand saw and shoulder plane
Likely other methods
Method for a given person depends on the available tools, skills and personal preference.
I have a dado set, but may use the normal blade method if not wanting to spend the time to change blades, or a router bit on the router table.
