Project Information

Over the past few days I took some Melamine, Plywood, Oak and other material I had leftover from other projects and turned them into new cutting sleds for my new Table Saw.
I made a large off-center Cross Cut Sled, a Miter Sled, a Small Parts Sled and a Panel Sled,
I borrowed a bunch of ideas from the net and our friendly fellow content producers.
I also used the idea of cutting a plastic cutting board up for runners which came out great.

Now I am all set for many cutting jobs I have and I am happy to say they all cut perfect 90* angeles.
Good way to spend a rainy day in my Florida shop.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Awesome!

So many of these sleds are so large and heavy that it is a real pain to remove/store them when doing additional tables aw operations.

Nice collections of sleds. Go look at the Super Sled on Eagle Lake Woodworking site for some hold down ideas. I did em on mine and they make cutting small parts much safer (and they cost nothing but your time).

Every woodworker with a table saw or router table needs at least one or two of these! Nice collection.

You're a wise man.
Besides being handy, they are awesome sleds my friend (except the unevenly spaced screws on picture #6 - LOL).
I like your red warning areas.
I'd be pleased to use all of them !

Best,

Serge

Ahhhhh, you have finally found the real reason for being a woodworker….......to build more objects for the shop.

Look very useful and well constructed. Sleds are a great solution for a lot of issues.

Here in La Conner, WA, enjoying some respite from the Anchorage winter…...........
