Just a quick miter sled I put together tonight. 1/2 plywood for the base, some UHMW plastic left over for the runners, Poplar for the fences and a little plexiglass for a blade guard. I used a framing square to lay it out, and then double checked everything with the ol 3,4,5 triangle trick…. gee and I thought I would never use algabra once I got out of school!

The 3,4,5 technique is more geometry than algebra :)

This is a nice quick build on the sled that gives you a table saw accessory that is bound to see plenty of use in your shop. Good idea on adding the blade guard as well.

Love it.
I saw Nahm Abrams do a similar deal on NYW. I think he just tacked his mitered boards straight down, at the appropriate measured angles, but … in either case … I do believe I now have to have one :-)

Thanks for posting this project. A miter sled is very near the top on my list of “must do” shop accessories. I really like the simplicity and low cost aspects of your sled. It looks like the solution that I’ve been looking for!
