Crosscut sled V3.0 - this one's a keeper (with instructions)

Very nice looking and functional CC sled. And I agree with You that a good sled is a must have!

Thanks. I’m sick of tripping over sleds, so I’d rather have just one that does everything. Also if you only have 1 ZCI per blade, you can trust your kerf lines for cut alignment.

Looks like a perfect sled for what you were setting out to accomplish. I like the replaceable zero clearance insert idea and the durable look of the jig.

Very nice, thanks for sharing.

Joe,

Thank you very much Joe! I’m studying your instructions. This will be the second sled you helped me with!

-- Thanks for all the lessons!

Nice sled like your details,,,, I watched a video a yr or two back on this super sled and have thought about making it. Well done should serve you well.

Joe, about the 0 clearance insert. Would it ruin your back fence if you were to make some beveled inserts? I see lots of possibilities but I wouldn’t want to compromise the alignment or stability.

-- Thanks for all the lessons!

Great sled! Now all you need is an insert in the back for different angles that match difference ZCI.

I have a lot of blank inserts for future bevel cuts.

Mark, the insert in the back fence takes the hit for the bevel cuts. I can cut at a 1” depth (with the gullets above the work piece) before I cut into the actual fence.

That is also why I chose to use 1/2” plywood instead of 1/4” plywood for the fence inserts.

I can see that now. Thanks Joe!

-- Thanks for all the lessons!

This is basically what I planned to do but with a slight modification. I think eventually you will wear out the holes where you screw down and into the bed and the fence with the sacrificial inserts. I was planning on adding either inserts or nuts into those spots and using machine screws to hold the inserts down. Thoughts?
