Tablesaw Cross Cut Sled

That’s great.

Since I made mine, it lives on the saw. I use it for everything!

Nice looking sled!

Do you find it will work in place of a “panel cutting” jig?

Great looking sled!

Looks like a well thought out sled! Gives me ideas!

Great sled. This is one thing I am missing. I have the slides, just never got around to building the sled itself.

Chris, This is a nice sled. It is well designed and has some really nice features.

Thanks for the post. I have one of these on my to-do list as well.

Lew,

I do not cut many panels, If I do start cutting larger ones I’ll probably make a dedicated panel sled.

Dave T,

I purchased a pair of the long miter sliders and a pair of the short ones nearly a year ago. I just got around to using the long ones on this project. I’ll probably use the short ones for a dedicated miter sled; but, that’s another project! :)

The sled is an indispensable TS accessory. Good work.

Question: Are the sliders made of aluminum? If so, would wear and tear on them over time affect the accuracy of the 90 degree cuts?

-- The time I enjoy wasting is not time wasted

ChuckM,

Yes, they are aluminum. However, they do have an adjustment mechanism to allow for differences in miter slots which could adjust for wear and tear as well. I don’t believe they will receive all that much wear as they act as guides and do not necessarily take that much load. As long as the blade remains parallel to the miter slot I don’t foresee any issues.

Just my 2 Cents….

Nice project Chris. I need to build one of these for my shop. Thank you for posting.

Cool project, you’ll get lot’s of use from it I’m sure.

Great looking sld. I’ve got a sliding table on my saw, so I don’t need a big one. I’m more interested in making a sled for cutting small pieces where I can hold the wood on both sides of the blade. A nice design.

I installed an Incra fence on my sliding table to get the accurcy on cross-cut pieces.

Karson,

I plan on using a couple of Toggle Clamps on the t-track in the fence for that very reason… :)

This is another project on my “to do” list which is behind my wife’s “to do” list….Great Job!!!!
