YBCS – Your Basic Crosscut Sled.

I drove over to the Woodsmith store yesterday and picked up a set of the 24” Incra Miter Sliders. An 9 hour trip for Miter Sliders. I must be insane…’

It’s 32” long and has a crosscut capacity just a little over 22” wide.

That is mine. I left it last time I was there…..LOL

It does look good though. I like those with the blade guard on the back. Too easy to forget the blade and leave a thumb behind.

I made this one a while back Chunk and I use the heck out of it now.
I like how easy it is to line up a cut.

Crosscut sled should come with a table saw when you buy it. I made a single mitre sled, but I think I will make a double. With the price of gas here, I will order my slides from the internet.

I agree with amagineer; gas is too expensive. Freight would be cheaper. The closest Woodcraft and Harbor Freight store is 30 miles; I try to combine with a Doctor appt. or something else. I figure that it takes about 2-1/2 gallons for my van; more for the wife’s truck.

Ever consider using one of those thick white plastic cutting boards to make slides? I hear they work great, and they cost a LOT less.

Stumpy: Yep. I have a couple 3/4” x 4’ sticks of HDPE in the shop now. I don’t like using HDPE because I find it hard to adjust them. What I mean by that is that when I drill and screw the HDPE to the bottom of a sled, the HDPE inevitably expands in width. I can never get the HDPE runners tight enough so that they are securely fastened to the sled and not so tight that they expand so much that I now have to mess around trying to get them to fit the slot.

Chuck it looks great but you Guys need to think about using hard wood for your runners. They attach tight, you can sand them to the right size, wax them they run smooth, and best of all they are paid for when you pull them from the scrap pile. I will have to post a picture of the one I recently made out of birtch plywood, quarter sawn white oak fence and runners.
