« Part 2: VIDEO - Mitering and Crosscut Sled Part 3 of The Super Sled series no next part

I just completed the latest video in the Super Sled series – the Miter Fence. Cut accurate and reproducible miters with this shop made miter fence designed for use with the Super Sled. Using a stop block for repeatable cuts allows you to get the exact same size pieces each and every time you miter. This versatile setup can cut a wide range of angles safely and accurately on the table saw. The Miter Fence video for the Super Sled series shows the construction of the fence and two different kind of stop blocks. The setup process for mitering with the fence is also shown.

You can also watch the video and download measured drawings at Eagle Lake Woodworking:

John, this is a nice video and that is a nice sled. I will favorite this as I have a new saw on order and was going to make one of these once it is ready to go. This looks like a really nice addition to improve your table saw’s performance.

Thanks for the post.

Thank you Scott and Karson.

Scott – I based the mitering system on WOOD Magazine's universal Tablesaw Jig, which I have been using for years. To have that same capability in my crosscut sled is really a winning combination for me.

Hey Eddy, I’m glad to hear you’re building one. I think you’ll like the mitering capability – I think it’s pretty versatile and very accurate. Please post a project / blog entry here with some pictures when you finish yours – I’d like to see how it turns out.

Thank you John so very much for showing me your sled. I did build one very similar to yours. Few minor changes on my design. But it does work so well. Made mine from redoak with base being red oak ply. I had been thinking about building one for a long time. I saw your design and it clicked perfect design. So easy to use and very accurate. I added a blade cover across the top. Mostly to satisfy my wife. She always worries about injuries from power tools. To me that funny cause I own a machine shop. And been working in machine shops since I was 16. Wood working has been a hobby I have loved since the age of 14. I am addicted to this website and want to say EagleLakewoodworking.com is a great site as well. Thank you for the inspiration.
