Hello @Woodpeckers; Does the Miter Bar support screwing from the bar to the bottom of the cross cut sled instead of from the cross cut sled to the bar? Thanks,
A cross-cut sled reduces depth of cut, a miter gauge doesn't. Miter gauges are lighter and more maneuverable. The sled's big advantage is increased width of cut, which the Exact-90 also offers.
I've been woodworking and building for over 40 years and have never had a cut-off sled. Some people can't finish their first project without one. It all depends on how you work and what you build. The Exact-90 brings a lot of features to the table that make a sled superfluous. Namely, the long bar for extended width of cut, extended fence with stops and the flop stop.
I recently bought two of these miter bars to build a sled for my sawstop CNS. The bars are a bit too snug and there is a lot of friction while sliding. How can I get it to slide smoothly?
It's a woodpecker product they always bring a premium price You do know You only buy it once It'll last You will be willing it it to your children or grandchildren
If you have an Exact-90 miter gauge, why not just mount the plywood base to it? It's already square, plus you have the flip-stops on the fence for repeated cuts.
