The Super Sled #3: Mitering Fence

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.

John A great addition to the sled. A great job and thanks for sharing.

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.

thanks for the information, the one i was refering to was made of all wood and the pieces that set the angels had slots in them for the final adjustements, if i remember the underside of the sled had t nuts and had boltes going through the top of the angle guides into the t nuts on the underside of the sled
