Project Information

This is just a modified version of the Shopnotes #99 crosscut sled. It's definitely been one of the most valuable things I've made for the shop. It has a removable extension for sawing long boards (which has worked very well for me), a zero clearance that can adjust to accommodate dado blades and it utilizes the Kreg precision track system which allows you to use their flip stops, micro-adjuster and built in measuring tape. I really like the kreg system and plan to build add on box joint jigs as well as a spline miter jig that will also bolt onto this sled.

Detailed plans can be downloaded here: http://www.woodsmithshop.com/download/403/precisioncrosscutsled.pdf

Thanks for looking!

Super job, no doubt it will get lots of use.

BTW - nice to see a 'busy' workshop in the background - some of those visible in other projects are so tidy that they make me feel inadequate! LOL

I have been wanting to make a good one of these. My need is for my final cut in making end grain cutting boards. Thank you for supplying the link (which I just printed). Great looking sled.

First of all, nice sled. However, what really interests me in these pics are the extensions you added to your table saw. I just bought a Ridgid one similar to your Bosh and have been thinking about ideas on how to add extensions to the saw without having to embed the saw in a cabinet of some kind. I'd love to hear more about how you went about putting those together.

How stable have you gound the flip stop? Reading reviews on amazon people are complaining there is some play in it. I may make this same sled, trying to determine which stop would be best/most accurate.

I made mine using the Kreg bar and stop (as Michael did) and found very little to no slop. If you mix the stop with a different brand angle bar you might find more slop. I suggest using the same brand as they are made for each other.
