Every one needs one. love it.

Deck made out of 1/2 birch ply and toped with 1\4 hardboard
Fence made out of 1/2 birch ply and straight grained hemlock

17×26 fence 15 1/6

accesorys are sliding stop, box cutting jig, and removable blade insert for deck and fence.
I plan on making a 45deg triangle to on deck to make miters
and a hold done device

im needing to build one of these in the next few weekends.. some good ideas here to consider..
definitely like the idea of building “accessories” to fit it rather then making separate ‘sleds’ for each

thanks for the post.

Hi Partridge,

This is a nice sled. It looks like you are going to really accessorize this one.

Thanks for the post.

Haven’t seen one made in this way. Like the design. The stop would really help.

Great! I like you idea for the adjustable stop. Do you have a plan for adding a stop for shorter cuts?
