Generally speaking a table saw is the tool of choice for tenons with either a stacked dado set or a tenoning jig.

Mortises are most often cut out with a drill press or router and squared up with a chisel or there is a specialized tool made to cut out the mortis that works something like a drill press but leaves squared edges.
