This is my interpretation of John Nixon's miter and crosscut sled that he posted in the super sled blog. Other than the blade guard, I pretty much followed the process that John outlined in his videos on constructing the sled. The sled body and rear fence were built from 1/2 inch baltic birch plywood and the body is 48 inches wide by 30 inches deep. The front fence and exit blade guard are maple.
As always comments are both encouraged and appreciated.

Very nice.
That is quite a set up.
I don’t know if I can match your level of detail, but I think one of those is in the shop schedule.
Thanks.

My old sled is just about due to be burnt.
This looks like a great alternative.. I am in the jig building mode at the moment getting ready for a full on production run of some of my more popular items.
I especially like the use of hold downs for the mitre guides.

What a beast, the crosscut sled is probably double the size of my contractor saw :)
Anyway, great job, just one question, where do you store it ?

looks like it not only will aid you in your crosscuts, but with all the bells and whistles, it might be able to cook you dinner also. Very impressive sled. I might have to copy it. It makes mine look like a pile of fire wood.

Very nice, very very nice. Attention to detail on this piece alone suggest you are a great maker. Well done, it is so rewarding to produce something like this. Yes it takes time, but in the long run it’s all worth while.
I want one.
