This is my first project with my new table saw. I used baltic birch ply, mahogany, cherry and what ever else i had lying around. originally i was going to use seperate runners on the bottom, however i encountered a problem. I used half inch ply which did not give me the thickness i needed for my t-tracks. I ended up useing a couple of pieces of cherry i had for the runners, I made them thick enough that they are actually flush with the top surface of ply and i routed my t-tracks on top of the runners. This allowed me to incorporate the two hold down clamps. I also wanted to include a miter fence for cutting 45’s but decided to build a seperate jig for that. Everything else i think is self explanatory.

Nice!!
Great solution to the T-track/runner problem. I notice the riving knife limits the sled travel- has that been a problem?

not so far lew, i just finished it and havnt actually used it. If it becomes a problem i will come up with some type of support on the back and just run the blade all the way through the back fence. At this point i dont think i will need to.
