Great idea!

Great idea! Yeah, I know Tom just said that, but he was right so I said it again. It looks like you have lines across the entire thing for measuring the thickness of the boards too, so once again, great idea.

I’ve seen aquite a few sled designs but none incorporating a pipe clamp. Great idea…

Thanks for showing your sled. It looks like it works great.

Paul,
The details of the use of the pipe clamp are in the base project that I reference.

Chuck that is a fantastic improvement. I always wanted to do something like that to mine, but I had always envisioned putting a separate piece of plywood on top and having that move. I never did it because it would take away from my limited re-saw height. Your version where you just make the saddles ride on a strip solves that problem and raises the clamps up a bit higher where they can be more effective. That was a clever approach and I think it is perfect.

Geeze no need to thank me, you just seriously raised the bar and I am so glad you did.

Well done and thank you.
