William NG's method for squaring your tablesaw sled

Very good technique…
The Wood Whisperer has a video very similar.

I put a sled together not too long ago… I have yet to post it… been busy…

COOL way to go…

Joe, thewoodwhisperer actually took William Ng’s class and learned the 5 cut method from him directly. He credits him on his video page… The sled I have right now is out less than 1/64 over a 16’ cut, but I tell you… It took a LOT more than 5 cuts to get it there. It is pretty basic and I’d like to build a new one soon, so at least now I know.

Thanks for posting this Dave. Do we really need this kind of accuracy in woodworking? I’m certainly not against it, but it does seem a little over the top to me. I guess I’m just showing my ignorance.

My saw has a slider and I have only one miter slot, so if I wanted a sled like this, I would have to install a bottom plate with two miter slots and then the sled on top of that. I can just imagine what a nightmare that would be to get everything squared up!

Mike I am not an accuracy nut by no means. Take my sled now Its off about a 1/3 of a degree. It is just enough to aggravate me. Using Williams method, I grab a board, make 5 cuts, a little math, and then a small adjustment. A few thousand out wouldn’t bother me.
Believe me Mike the only thing I use feeler gauges on is my spark plugs.

I’m with you stefang, if side A meets side B and it looks good, It’s close enough…..

Hi super,

Great video. Thanks for the link. Will have to show it to the guild guys,I’m sure that will be awe struck as nobody in the club has done it quite like that in any of our demos.
William Ng is very easy to listen to and explains things very well. Well worth the 1/2 hour to watch.

Thanks jb

SuperD,

I just watched the video during my lunch break.

It is a great video. He’s quite the teacher! Even has me believing, That I can make an accurate sled!!!!

On my “To-Do” list, as soon as I get my TS back up & running!

Thanks for sharing this. Sounds like many are benefitting from this video.

Thanks guys for the comments. I am not one to get the mic out on my projects but the ease of finding the error and which direction to move adjust it in, is why I liked it so much.
Again thanks for your time.
