Making a table saw sled or crosscut sled lets you get safe, repeatable, accurate cuts with your saw. My old table saw sled was worn out and didn’t have a integrated stop block. So I made a new one with a sliding stop block and some nice little features. I’ll also show you how to square your cross cut sled using a simplified version of the 5 cut method that doesn’t require all the math. #woodworking #tablesawsled #crosscutsled

@mrdoodihead 3 года назад

Just a tip that came to me while building this sled... In order to assist with "squaring" the back fence with the blade, place a couple LARGE flat washers (spread out as far as possible) in the initial saw cut and butt your square up against these flat washers that are sticking up out of the initial saw cut. Then squaring the back fence is actually pretty precise.

@richardulin7535 2 года назад

Would this be any different than raising the blade and using the square against it?

@jayj4ysmith Год назад

Would be nice to see this in a video. Kinda hard to picture what your saying to do.

@bobthomas8342 Год назад

@@jayj4ysmith He's saying instead of trying to align the square with the saw cut by eye, have something flat sticking up out of the cut line to butt your square up against.

I was making some fixtures for my french cleat wall. I was cutting small squares on my table saw. I got really bad kick back, the piece of wood flew across my shop and punctured a huge crack in a can of CA glue activator, spraying all over the place. So, now I'm here! Thank you for the simple functional design and video. This will be my project for the day.

Hey glue ups are easier if in glue ups you sprinkle a little salt on the ply after spreading glue. The pieces won't slide around when clamping. The salt dissolves.

Brad! First time long time here. First off, really great videos. I’ll be buying some of your plans to get my tools organized in my garage and a few of the tables when I get back home from deployment. 3 1/2 weeks to go. Now, Im not looking to intentionally embarrass you here or act like I know more about woodworking but I’ve built a few birdhouses. As a semi-pro weekend woodpecker, I don’t often leave comments on videos but you seem to have a respectable number of viewers and when I see someone like yourself making blatant woodworking errors in a video, I feel I have an obligation to speak up. I know it probably wasn’t intentional, however..... that was a ‘88 Topps baseball card you used as a shim, not a ‘87. Hopefully the error you made hasn’t caused a lot of your subscribers to have to start over, but ya just never know. I hope the damage was minimal cause you don’t want to lose Jet as a sponsor. If Chicago Machinery sponsors your next video we’ll know. All joking aside though, great videos and looking forward to future ones. Take care brother. Matt

Looks like he measured at the front end of the strip and at the back end of the strip. Why did he then divide the difference by 4? Is the purpose of this to square the back fence?

Yes. By making the four cuts plus the final piece to show the accumulation, you make any error four times over and make it easier to measure and adjust for any error.

The method to square the back fence is one I have not seen before, and I’m sure it will lead to a squarer sled than I would have had.

The five cut method is not difficult, but the math can be confusing. Watch a few of the videos that explain it and maybe one of the other explanations will make sense to you.

I know this video is older, and I did scroll thru the comments to see if anyone had asked before. So, I guess I have what’s considered a contractors table saw. It folds up and has wheels. Sadly, it’s the best table saw I’ve had in my limited woodworking attempts. It is able to cut up to 30 inches. Do you think this sled would work for me? I’m hoping to make the portable miter saw table at some point, but, this will have to do for now.
