Small Crosscut Sled

Nicely done.

-- John D, OP, KS

That looks like a great sled. Not overkill like some I’ve seen but I guess that depends on what you use it for. I’m like you, I think it’s time to make one.

Great Job!

If it works for you, GREAT!

Thanks for the report!

Good looking sled!!

Thats a good idea with the gap in the blade guard. I will be using that in future sleds.

And why do you say that Brian? Because you can actually see the blade?

Yes.

Real nice sled, Mel. I like that box on the back to bridge the cut area. I may use that on my next one.

Cheers, Jim

That is a nice sled. I am also amazed at how clean your shop looks!

Thanks everyone for the comments. I’m now designing one with these ideas, ( sort of ), for a 45 degree on both sides of the cut line. Possibly adjustable for other angles also. Mel

Looks well built and designed. I have the same saw and I have been planning to make a crosscut saw and yours is a good example of what I want.

It looks like the sled from “King’s Woodworking”... plans are $2.99, I’m thinking about building one myself. Nice.

Hi, Mike…That looks like a very functional and practical cross cut sled. You are right, there comes a time when a crosscut sled is needed. I think Ive reached that stage myself. Your sled looks ideal. I also like the safety box..
Well done and a great project.
Regards,

Cliff.

These are so useful

-- Norman - I never never make a mistake, I just change the design.

Hi Mel. Take a look at the sled Stefang made. he has inserts on the bottom for 90 and 45 degrees. I have one in Arizona that I made for 90 and 45 and then I cut 72degrees on it and the center is spaghetti. That insert idea makes a lot of sense to support small pieces!

cheers, Jim
