Cross Cut Sled for my DeWalt DWE 7485 HD 1080p 

I like this way. No music, no words. Thank you

Super job, I’m glad you use the measurements in the build/adjustments.

Outstanding craftsmanship, thanks for sharing your work with us 🙏🏼

I’ve had that old-style Workmate for many years, but haven’t used it as much as I could have. That simple router table is a great way to use it, and make it portable. Thinking I’ll do that as well, and can also mount a small belt/disk sander, small downdraft sanding table, scroll saw, small 1” belt sander, variable speed bench grinder for chisels…. thanks for the inspiration!

Third time watching you build this sled. Think I’m building me one just like it. Great work my friend.

You help solidify my ideas on getting the 8 1/4 saw vs holding out for the 10". The depth cut is roundabout 1" difference but for what I want to do that doesn't matter as much so thanks for giving the insight in your build to help me make my decision.

Thanks a bunch for the great video Terry! Very straightforward & easy to follow. Nice work sir!

I enjoyed your quiet and informative demonstration.

Not going to believe me but I watched it again. Great video my friend!!!

A very good looking but functional sled build! 🙌👏

Love the build! Thanks a ton for sharing your process. One tip that I just picked up myself not long ago here on RU-vid was to use the round side of the router base instead of the flat. Helped me keep true and prevented me from getting kick out or wandering from the fence. (Not a criticism, just sharing what trick this old dog actually learned, lol) Thanks again!

Your sled seems great and I find it really well finished, congratulations on the good job!

Nice job there Sir, thank you for sharing, I understood everything with out you saying a word, that's awesome,!

Excellent video and process. Thank you for sharing.

I don't know if anyone else saw it but I saw it lol. Good cover up and great build!

I also used to use hard wood for runners .I now use 3/8 thick lexan or plexiglass. Cut like a hard wood with out the humidity problems. To reduce the surface the underside surface area ,to make the slide slide easier, I made a grid up to accommodate a 2 inch foster bit with a 1/2 to 3/4 space between outside edges of hole. I than drilled using a 2 inch foster bit ,1/16 deep.

I've noticed I will have a perfect glide after attaching the base to the guides just with adhesive or tape but after driving screws it glides poorly and feels as if it is too tight just like what happened in your video. I think it is just simply when manually driving screws in the ever so slight angle they are driven in at slightly pulls the guides in that direction and causes the guides to rub in the slots. Maybe a drill press would alleviate that issue but I just do the same thing you do and sand them down a bit and slap on some wax. Nice build!

Спасибо за урок. Санкт-Петербург. Сергей . Россия.👍 .

Great build. I also love the table. Can you maybe post some pics of the front side and around the table so we can see how you handled the fence frame and cutouts? Thanks.

Great video. Brilliant. Simple design and love how you created it. Quality #1. You got a new subscriber.

great job mate looks great

03:25 Johnson&Johnson to the rescue. 13:18 Oh, oh.. the rubber is about to hit the road. [big carpenter square / one screw as pivot point.. ladies&gentlemen - hold your breath]. And, after that.. the five cut method. Also like that left side table extension. *Well done.*

Great job!

Fellow woodworking youtuber coming in to support ya. Great video my friend

I plan to use this saw to install a hardwood floor in my kitchen for my next project...

I would really be interested in your method for the workbench your table saw sits in. I have the exact same table saw and I really struggle cutting plywood and bigger pieces on it. I have started to come up with work bench solutions but never committed as I wanted to see solutions others have come up with and what you have set up is AMAZING! That is EXACTLY what I would love mine to look like.

I know I'm VERY LATE but I am very impressed with both your bench and sled. I like the different steps and techniques you used to make this sled. I purchased a Dewalt DEW7485 (8 1/4) just like yours and was looking at different methods for making a great sled. I think yours is by far the best I've seen. We seem to share a lot of the same power tools as well. I will use your sled as my inspiration for mine. Big thank you for your video! I hope I can find the same type of materials at Lowe's or Home Depot. Other than Ace those are my only options except for online but I like to SEE them before buying. I'm particularly interested in the aluminum(?) rails and what size bit you used in your router (flute bit for the grooves) but I'm sure I can find out. Very, very helpful!

Very Nice!

Good stuff 👌🏼

very nice! 👍👍

First person I’ve seen to use tape instead of glue for the rails 10+

good job !!

I just bought the same table saw today and was looking for builds specifically for it. This is a really nice sled. May I ask what thickness plywood you used for the base of the sled? In my head I keep thinking that 3/4" might be too thick for the smaller blade size, so I was thinking of using 1/2" plywood. But maybe that's not an issue at all. I also love your work table around the saw. I'm going to try to do something similar.

Exactly what I'm looking for and it's a beautiful build. After some months of use, do you find the rear stop block t-track to be a bit low? What is the maximum thickness you cross cut on this sled? That might be the why for t-track placement?

Buen trabajo

I have exactly the same table saw, and I like your design for the extensions table, can you share some pictures or videos how it was built? Thank you

Thank you

Nice build, but the upper C track got 2 problems as i see... 1. You can easily cut into it, if you cut a thicker material 2. If you glued it to the fence, you can't insert (or change) screws to it...

T-slot on the base yes.T-slot on the back plane. . . no. Could easily run the blade right into it. Maybe that's why most back planes use bolt holes and empty slots to secure jobs. They cannot be sawn thru! For every mm of base plate that's one less millimetre of height taken from the max height cut. I just watched a more recent build and the jig is way thinner with no front plate. Watching that video I realised that sled is an innovation.

I also have a Dewalt table saw so guess what my next project will be? Many thanks for a great video. Regards Phil

Watching your crosscut video, and at 5:58 I noticed your b & d workmate had a custom drill hole started. Funny, I had similar custom notches on my own workmate. :):)

Super👍👍

Great build! I tried to do something similar for the exact same model, but I can't get the runners to slide. I tried them out before gluing them to the top of the sled and they where running just fine, but when I put them together with the top it gets completely stuck midway through. I've tried to sand the edges of both the runners and the t-tracks but it still behaves the same way. I've used 6mm plywood for the runners

Hi there Terry, do you, by any chance, have drawings of the trapezoid-shape for the tabletop around your table saw?

New Sub from India ❤️

Good job. Might be a little design flaw though. Depends on how tall some of your cuts will be? The "T" track on the front fence, might be a little low for your stop block or other accessories.

Buen trabajo...Gracias. Me he suscrito a tu canal...🇵🇪

This looks like a great sled. Also, what size Makita interlocking case do you have your router in? I want to get the same thing for my corded Makita trim router set (which looks like the same as yours).

Thanks for the video, I have just got the same table saw and no experience at using a table saw, I want to use it safely so something like this would help me.

Does anything prevent the saw blade from running into horizontal t track? If you push too far the and the saw blade is raised up enough

Excuse my ignorance, but what functionality do the red tracks add?

Great work! But im thinking how to use his T track because it is no way to enter the T bolt

So what if you wanted to cut something thicker like a 2x4 in half. You would have to raise the blade up higher than the 2x4. Wouldn't the blade hit your T track on your fence?

Nice

Do you have a video of you making the side piece of the table saw ?

What do you make your runners out of?

Nice. Do you have plans that can be downloaded?

Did you make those runners or buy them? I'm about to make a sled for my DWE7485 (You have it as DWE6485 in the description but I think you mean 7) and that's my vexation. And the length - does it matter? I have too many options!

Hey. I think I have the same tablesaw. Is it the 210mm blade? How do you find it?

Miter slots are very uneven on dewalt table saw. Always recomend hand sanding inside the tracks before doing this . Many bumps, ridges and tight spots created from the coating process.

Great great video. You have a new follower.

What was your error when you did the 5 cut method?

Forgot to ask you, where can I get the machine paste? I have searched on eBay and Toolstation and can't find it/any? Where did you purchase the paste from? Would bees wax work? Or white lithium grease? Many thanks kind regards 👍👍

Haha. I'm always worried about drilling through my beautiful work bench. How about an adjustable/replaceable zero clearance cutout for the sled?

TERRY been watching you video Many Times Do You Have PLANS Paper for this SLED would love to buy them for my Grandson Don

I am putting too much attention into my CC sled, but it feels like therapy. It may be a few days yet until I finish, it's too hot out.

I have the same saw, what was the dimension of the sled, please, thanks for sharing

Great video. I have the same saw. This is my next project. Do you have a video on your portable router table? I like that.

does this table saw accept dado stack?

Super Super and Super....

How did you get that red holder in that rail?

I have the same table saw. What are the dimensions of the piece of plywood you used?

Will the wax collect dust?

👍

How did you decide on how big to make it

Do you have any measurements on this build ?

At 07.01 you cut the T- track channel left wall with a left to right motion , at 07.36 you cut the right wall of the same channel from the same camera position in the same left to right motion. I believe you were cutting against the rotation of the blade?

what blade have you got on the saw bud?? i need a new one

So you have to do the 5 cut method? Can't you just use a square and reference off the blade and back to the fence?

`Great video and good explanation. However, if i want to use something bigger wood, i will am afraid that the saw goes into that t-track. Because the t track is not on top and is now only useable for plywood or something. For the rest...good build :)

What would you charge to make me one?

Being a former CNC set-up operator, it always pains me to see someone slam a caliper shut on the piece they’re measuring like he did. Great way to throw off the accuracy of your measurements. Not to mention it’s a great way to throw off your caliper’s calibration and jaws over time. You’re supposed to close the jaws on the piece gently, using the little wheel on the readout body.

14:38, tuck that thumb in, bud, or the saw might think it's his...nice sled!

I noticed that you had forgotten to leave a slot in the back fence to allow you to slide in a stop block in the T-track. Then, at the very end of the video I saw that you had cut the slot......sneaky edit. LOL

Not done watching but seems like you might of not left enough room to get the t bolts into the t slots on your fence.

Ninguém ver você fazendo nada, só pegando as peças prontas e fazendo acabamentos, não gostei

so much wrong here...
