Here are my attemt on the miter key jig.
It runs extremely smooth on my Festool sled, just attaced to the fence with two clamps, and off we go.
The black MDF are just because it was some I had left, and even it might color a little, it was free, so…
I made also a movable fence or clamp on holder to make fixed sizes (the one with hole in).
So now I made my first box with miter joints – fantastic!
The other end of the jig, I left unused, so it’s ready for another jig…

Have forgotten for a long time to post this picture of the other end beeing used as a sled with fence.

that is a well designed jig Mafe. I like the adjustability and it looks to be very stable.

Hey Mafe, that is a cool sled. With ways like that I must be hold the dimension pretty good,too.
Does that sled also slide in a groove on the right side of the table saw?
I have a sliding table on my Ryobi but I don’t have and grooves in the top for a standard sled. Without a guide on the right side, I don’t think I could control a sled such as yours with my little sliding table. Yours is really nice!
Good job on those miters. Thanks for sharing.

Very interesting design; I like it a lot. It gives me ideas for an addition to my own cross cut sled.

Hi guys,
Thank you for the nice comments.
It’s ‘only’ attached to the sliding sled, it is so stabil, that it need no groove (I was a little impressed).
Yes, I might just wear it out one day, since I can see how it’s easy to work with once the jig is made.
The professional look has a little drawback, that the black MDF can give a little black dust, so I had to cut the first cut a little bigger than the blade, so now there are no ‘loose’ dust.
Best thoughts,

When you make something Mads you really do it well. It looks like a part of your Festool equipment. I’m glad you are with us to give new inspiration!

Very well done. Makes my attempt look quite pathetic. Mind you that leaves me with a lot of room for improvement.
Hope you dont mind if I attempt a copy.
