This my own version of the classic Cross Cut Sled.The tee slot slot fence saves money by forgoing the need to buy Tee Tracks and the hardware that goes with it I also used Corian for the runners/miter bars because Corian is super stable and smooth.You can pick up scraps of Corian for your local Habitat for Humanity thrift store..I used Marc Spagnuolo Video and Method for squaring the fence to the blade.The tee slot is easy to create and you only need a table saw with an 1/8 Cerf blade to create them!

Nice clean build there Chippy. I really should buy a T-Track router bit and save some serious $$$ instead of spending it all on track especially when you can router the track into some nice hardwood that will last forever.

I like the way you cut your t-slot. Good idea. How big is it? Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Guys.Horizontalmike those bits are nice but you can achieve the same result with your table saw.See poorly done graphic.

Very nice sled. The T-slot is a great idea as is your graphic for making it using the tablesaw. I just posted my basic sled. I also relied on the Woodwhisperer’s video and his methods worked out very well for me.

I wish I had seen your t-slot a couple of weeks ago. I made pretty much an identical sled. My t-slot solution was to rip off 1/2” of the top edge of the fence; router a shallow 5/8” slot in the remaining piece; reattach the top; route a 1/4” down the middle. Yours seems a simpler and more elegant solution.
