Project Information

I made this little sled stop this morning after my buddy Bricofleur/Serge mentioned that I was cutting through the guard on my cross cut sled and I thought it was time to come up with a permanent solution and retire the previous removable stop which I would forget to use from time to time and cut through the blade guard so this one is for you Serge . See project http://lumberjocks.com/projects/160826

I had given this idea some thought and could not come up with a situation where it would get in the way of other accessories or operation so on the saw it went .
This stop is permanent at the end of the mitre slot and stops the sled by the sled runner coming in contact with the stop .

I used a piece of square aluminum pipe that I happen to have and a chunk of pine as a block and two 1/4" bolts and nuts to fasten it to the back rail all very simple and took about thirty minutes to make .
I don't think I have to explain the build as there are enough pictures that I took as I built it .

Laying out the cut out with pipe already cut to length and the end shaped .



The wooden bock cut to fit inside the pipe


The mounting holes marked out and a couple of screws into the sides to lock the pipe to the wooden block and the two mounting bolts

The stop assembly on the saw after I drilled the mounting holes using the stop assembly as a pattern for the holes
Installed the bolt and ready to go and I don't have to remember to install that old removable stop .

First thought: What,s this. But the word permanent stop make me understand. I hope you will have benefit of this extension. Thanks for sharing.

Nice solution to fix the problem Klaus.I am surprised at you for not having this to begin with. You are very thorough when making things. Are you sipping some of those Canadian beverages during the warm days? lol. Well done sir.

I had a simple T block before this but kept forgetting to use so this should solve the problem .

I was confused for a spell but then it came to me after I studied it for a while. Nice added touch and well executed as usual Klaus!

Another example of how the simplest solutions are often the best ones.

Yes, a stop on a sled is a must in my book
