Mitre sled

Nice sled. Both safe and secure.

Very nice looking sled. I like the toggle clamps to securely hold the work and also like the fact that you installed the perspex for safety’s sake. You should get many years of precision miter cuts from this sled.

I like that.
It looks a safe option for using the table saw.

Great sled. I suspect a lot of use would REALLY appreciate some notes on your construction. If you’ve got any tips or “putting it together like this makes things so much easier”, they’d be very welcome.

I think I’m going to try and put one together myself. Here’s a link to the sketchup file I made if anyone else wants it as a starting point. I didn’t put any rails on the sled because the widths between rails can vary depending on your saw.

Steve I’ll take some measurements for you & send you a PM & thanks to everyone for the kind words
