Small Crosscut Sled

Nice little sled – you will use it more often than you can imagine. It’s absolutely a must-have for cross cutting and small parts.

-- Just make the cut

Thanks Noel. You’re right. I used it a bunch already including today. The small miter gauge that comes with the saw is not accurate no matter how hard you try. I had the saw for years and finally made the upgrade. This is a whole lot better.

Perhaps the best looking wood I have seen on a sled. Wish I had some salvaged cabinets of that laying around. You will be happy for the time, and material spent on this sled, they are part of the answer.

Enjoy it.

-- Think safe, be safe

Thanks therealSteveN. True, anytime you can complete a project without having to go to the store makes it that much more rewarding. The pantry cupboard door was from original cabinets when the house was built in 1970. 3/4” plywood with an old veneer. It’s pretty heavy duty for a small crosscut sled.

Nice

Nice one – reminds me that I need to make a nice one myself.
I have one, but it looks like shit as I was in a hurry when I made it.

Thanks TEK73. It turned out good, but like yourself I was focusing more on the functionality of it. I shaped the fence so I could reach the part being cut and also to keep my fingers away from the blade if it cut through the backside.
