A really nifty and well made jig. Yes I am very jealous of the cut-offs from your door shop. Thanks for showing this and for the inspiration to make our jigs more versatile. A good thing, especially for those of us with small shops.

You have me baffled with this nice jig.
What is it intended to do??

All the dust goes straight down I assume? Man, I gotta make one of those for myself (after all the other things I need first…. ;-)

This is nothing less than “AWSOME”!!!!
I am sitting here just thinking of all the ways I could use this jig…........... just have to make one!

Great job and Welcome to LJ’s, the best site on the internet.

Thanks for sharing.

p.s. If I have any questions when I do build one, can I pm you?

Bob, so far I have used the jig for routing the adjustment slots like you see in picture #2 & #4
I also ran the angled dadoes in the dovetail key attachement in #4. I slotted an adjustment piece for a mortising jig I will show later. The piece was tiny, and I was able to do it safely with the T-slot clamps. It’s
kinda of funny how much I used the sled to finish the add on parts of the sled. I also used the router table to
finish the router table (How much sence did that make?) Hope this helps.

Milo, It depends on the cutter. I use my Festool dust collector plugged in the hole in the back, or in the port in the top of the fence

majeagle, Yes you can.

Hey Kent

Jim, Yeah right—- I’ll get a man right on it

-- She thought I hung the moon--now she just thinks I did it wrong

It looks nice , but other than using a long shanked straight or spiral bit , what can you do with it ? What does the mounted bearing bit pictured do ? Am I missing something here ? Please let me know .What is the jig attachment in the fourth picture and how is it used ? Thank you.

-- When did quiet and quite become the same word ? I'm guessing about the same time as your and you're did.

Definitely versatile! Very nice job.

Ok, you’ve made me a believer in the track/slot! I can see lots of good ideas for it. Another excellent piece of work Kent!

That is a gorgeous sled. At one time I would not have thought about doing a shop piece in anything other than 2x and plywood materials since it was “just for the shop”. But I have come to understand that you can build a shop piece that not only is functional but looks good as well.

Nice job on the sled.

Tremendous looking jig. How about sending the rest of us LJ’s some of those nice looking cutoff’s…........LOL

I can really see a use for that sled.
