Crosscut sled and spline jigs

Great job, we get alo of uses from our sleds. Love the spline jig, well done.

Real nice sled and nice fixture BUT – Where’s the saw dust ? where’s any dust, it looks like a ‘clean’ room from CSI

Thanks! I do try to keep a dust free shop. I’ll post pics of my ever improving collection system.

Congrats on your 1st DT3. Nice sled. I would encourage you to put some blade protection on the back side of the back fence just for safety sake.

Nice project. Excellent choice of materials for the sled.

Thank you for the kind comments.

Regarding dust collection, see http://lumberjocks.com/projects/111874 , Blast Gates and Manifolds. It shows the main dust collector. I have also a Fein shop vac that is helpful over the blade.

Regarding no blade guard on the sled. Yes, I plan adding that soon.

Beautiful Sled!!! I would like to know the details on the aluminum rear fence and also the micro adjuster.
Who made them and where did you get them? Super slick !!

The aluminum rear fence angle is from Rockler, purchased more than a year ago and I’ve not seen one since. I think I saw a similar one in silver at Peachtree Woodworking Supply Inc. but I do not see it in the online catalog.

The micro adjuster is from Rockler. I think it is a part of the Kreg router table but I found it separately.

Very nice rigs you have put together, they should serve you well for years to come. I have put together several sleds over the years and can’t imagine life in the shop with out one. Thanks for sharing.
