Just thought I’d post a few pics of some of the “got-ta-have” shop accessories that I think you “got-to-have”. The xcut sled and the router table fence was built with some help from a very good friend (pretty much brother). He’s been woodworking for 20+ years. (I’ve gotta get him on this site) He has been a big help to me. I added the Biesemeyer fence to my ‘50’s model Craftsman saw quite a few years ago. The tablesaw fence and spline jig idea that was designed for the Biesemeyer that came from a Wood, or Popular Woodworking magazine I think…....... It’s been a while. I’m always game for ANY suggestions, improvements, or anything about tools, jig, accessories, etc, this great hobby.

Looks like a good solid sled. I was using my super sled today, sans miter arms, soon to be completed. I like it because it has T-track imbedded in it and I could make a template out of a few pieces of stray wood. It will soon appear in my blog.
Have a good one…...

Yep, the first accessory you need for a tablesaw is a good basic crosscut sled. Yours is nicer than mine. I’ve got to make some accessory storage under my extension table, and you’ve given me some good ideas.

I’m with deke, gotta steal some ideas here. I’ve got to rebuild a poorly designed commercial miter fence I wasted money on. Yours looks great. The sliding panel, a got-a-have. Thanks for the ideas.

I really like the spline jig-I can make that work on my fence. The sled is great-I use mine all the time. Thanks for sharing the great ideas!

Thnx everyone for your input. Deke: Yes, that is the main reason for the hardboard inserts. They can be changed so you will always have a zero clearence insert with any blade, or bit (for the router table) and yes, feel free to copy, improve, or whatever. I think that is part of what this site is designed for. We all have to help/inspire each other. My door to improvements is always open, so, please let me know of any
