SMALL Cross-Cut Sled with ADJUSTABLE Fence, EXTENSION wing and BEVEL Feature! 

Very Smart design! nice work

I just had my niece over my shop she’s 19 and has bad anxiety. I was trying to explain to her that woodworking and welding and all those things are not just for guys. I’m really trying to get her into finding a hobby with her hands. That being said, I am going to share this channel with her because this woman is amazing. Personally, I think it’s the best video I’ve seen on cross cut sleds .

You do have to spend some time setting the saw up... blade, fence, etc. But once done, the saw is great. Fairly compact which is Nice ru-vid.comUgkxXh-4_3-ZT1fFWP91ZV7iVqzElr0lEb-a I did get an Incra Miter Gauge which takes some setup as well. The stock miter gauge can be adjusted in the miter slot with a little painter's tape... this tightens up the side to side play a lot.

So nice to see a beautiful woman on the internet who is captivating, educating and loaded with followers, WITHOUT wearing skimpy clothing. Hats off to you and thank you for showing us all of your brilliant ideas. You are literally saving fingers here.

Mech Engr/ machine designer and builder here- You have the best, most well thought-out cross cut sled on RU-vid. Thank you very much.

I would literally buy this if I saw it for sale. Perfect design.

I've only seen a thousand sled videos. THIS is the one I'm going to use to make my sled. Thank you!

Omgosh, i just love her expressive hands marking straight and aligned elements! Good job!

Just finished my sled based on your design. Aligned to .005” using the 5 point method. Love your videos, your designs are so smart!

I love it when she makes a test cut for square and says "That's square enough for me". I've been a cabinetmaker for 16 years and I find that a lot of woodworkers over think. You are not splitting the atom...it's a blanket box. If it's out a 1/16” , crack a beer. Enjoy. Job well done! I think I'll use some ideas for my next sled

THANK YOU SO MUCH, Tamar, for sharing your skills, experience, know-how, innovation, and just plain hard work with us! You are my NEW INSPIRATION! My first saw was a jigsaw, but it wasn't enough to satisfy my fascination with wood, especially after watching shows like This Old House and The New Yankee Workshop back in the late 90's. I was fascinated with angles and bevels (still am), and wanted to do so much more (still do). My woodworking hobby started back in 2000 - I bought a table saw, miter saw, plunge router...and dabbled at some projects. Over the years, I have built a floor-to-ceiling wall unit for my family room, a desk for a friend, an art station for myself, and numerous other projects, besides doing many home improvement projects. But now that I am newly RETIRED, I am turning the end of my garage into my "perfect" workshop - perfect for me, anyway. As a 4 foot 11 inch woman, I have to be creative in order to keep SAFETY in mind (like storing my wood stock low rather than where it is now - up on shelves). Anyway, I am DELIGHTED to have found your videos, for you explain things so well and clearly, along with the many helpful links. Your innovation sense and enthusiasm are catchy - they get me thinking about the things I want to make, and the many JIGS I can't wait to build (you are so adept at coming up with jigs that are masterpieces of design and function!). I also am purchasing many of the tools you use and recommend, for as we all know, there's a right tool for every job. I too think the stop from Jonathan Katz-Moses is AWESOME!!! Please know that I now end my day by watching at least one, if not more, of your videos, and am taking notes on all of the neat techniques I am learning. So THANK YOU AGAIN! I hope every WOMAN within the reach of the Internet watches your videos to LEARN AND APPRECIATE that they, too, can DESIGN - BUILD - CREATE - INSPIRE.

Brilliant. I haven't thought about clamping to a level. Makes total sense. Threaded inserts are awesome and I always have some. Essential if you're going to be removing and replacing a part over and over. Easier to install than T-nuts also. Love the KM stop block. Need to get another.

I have seen 30 or so tablesaw sled DIYs but, I’m sold on yours. I love both the size and versatility. Thank you for sharing.

You're videos are quickly becoming "must watch first" in my RU-vid rotation. All your projects are well thought-out and wonderfully designed. But, even more so, your clear step-by-step video tutorials are a wonderful follow. Keep em coming and I'll keep watching. Haha

Absolutely incredible! I can't wait to build this sled. I've watched a million crosscut sled videos and this is far and away the most impressive. Nice work!!

I’m new to woodworking and just got a new (my first) table saw. I’ve been stalking the RU-vid channels for a crosscut sled that will not overwhelm my small garage shop but still have a wealth of capabilities. Yours checks all the boxes. I especially like the single HDPE runner and lightened beds. Love your clear (no hemming and ‘uh-ing’) presentation and perfect video capture. Great info, no extra fluff. Gonna build it, thanks. Hart

I've watched a lot of "build a sled" videos and this is the one I'm going to follow. So many features!

I looked at a lot of sled builds, but yours had so many mitering features it stood out above them all. I built one inspired by your build. It came out very nice. Thanks for the inspiration.

THIS IS BRILLIANT! I love the fact that you can use it in two positions for bevels or miters.

I have that table saw and it’s a beast! Very smart to adapt that for your shop saw. I enjoy that you’re such a practical woodworker.

I just built this. So much fun and my first real woodworking project. Thanks for the design and the video!

I watched this when she first posted the video. I was in poor health and kept it in my favorites. I’m better now and ready to get going on my workshop. I am more impressed now than when I first watched it. This lady is a genius. Just amazing!

Great video. Love how you clearly explain each step. I'm a rookie woodworker and I have been watching videos about making Cross-Cut sleds. Your design has made it to the top of my list. Thank you for also posting links to most (all) of the tools, material needed to create your cross-cut sled. Thanks for making this great video. You also have a new subscriber.

This is the best sled “how to” I have seen yet. This one makes so much sense! I also appreciate how you fast forward so much for each step and don’t drag the video out 👏🏼

Hey Tamar! After months of stashing this video, I finally got some time (and a Saw Stop job site table saw), made just a few small adjustments because of differences in miter slot-to-blade distances, and just finished this cross cut sled you designed. Like other subscribers, I had to resort to the 5 cut calibration method, which was also amazing. I wish you could see it. It’s beautiful!

Woah this is phenomenal. I didn’t really believe that’d you’d get such tight 45s off the bat, that’s killer.

This girl ROCKS!!!! Wish I was that knowledgeable and gifted. One of the few channels I have subscribed to

Just finished a project where I needed a sled like this. Great.

What a great video. You clearly are an accomplished woodworker. Your ideas are well thought out & give great tips to this woodworker of 58 yrs of experience. Thanks!

Great design! I made mine a bit bigger for my cabinet saw. I also added T-track on top of the miter angle option. Now I can add a couple of hold downs, one for a stop and one or two for the workpiece. I also added a very shallow dado on the main fence for a sticky back rule to reference the stop for perfect length repeatability. Keep up the great work!

Hope they give you a TV SHOW,MUCH WELL NEEDED!!!

This lady is awesome. Knowledgeable and good presenter. Thanks.

Mijn complimenten voor dit ontwerp. Ik ga je volgen. ❤❤

Yessss! Great design, Tamar! I'll build that as soon as my workplace is reopened. Thanks so much for sharing! I hope your family is save and healthy. Keep up the great work, greetings from germany!

Women like this should be held up as role models instead of movie stars. Amazing talent, skills, and intelligence!

Thank you for all the videos and information. I just finished my first crosscut sled with my 16yo son who's enjoying woodworking. They say it takes great intelligence to explain things in simple ways. Thank you!

Thanks for linking all the stuff below. It's nice to know where to get t-track. It seems like an excellent accurate fence is the base/root to table saw success.

This is the best sled build that I've seen (lots of options too). You're a first class carpenter and video presenter. Thanks for posting.

First time viewer and impressed with your skill. No BS, No T&A thumbnails, just skill. Subbed

After watching several videos of sled builds for this size saw, yours is my favorite! Thank you so much!

am a recently retired educator, and new to woodworking 😀 have discovered your channel 👍🏽 you are a🤘🏽🌟 T, thank you so much for your excellent educational videos

Really nice sled, and finally, I see one with the T-track for a stop. I am really impressed with this design. A little food for thought on your extension, and primarily the spline. The biscuits are brilliant Extending the T-track across in the dato is brilliant. The spline, as you mentioned could have been a single, however, I would have made it wider. When you used those 1/4-20 T-bolts, you took away most of the strength they had, even collectively. I'm sure you are getting a pretty big stress riser right where the holes are, but as it is, that really shouldn't see much stress. IF you do see that spring at all, I can pretty much guarantee that is why Also, a threaded insert mated to a threaded insert typically doesn't work out that well. I'm glad it did for you. When I make a joint like that (Typically in metal) I will use the single threaded insert (Usually a Keensert or Helicoil), a bushing for a through hole, and a shoulder screw..which of course complicates things tremendously, but now you are sure to get the spline to clamp tightly against the fence. I also absolutely LOVE the Bevel feature you have introduced here. I have been toying around with some similar ideas as well. I like the 2 track method, I have been wrapped around idea of an axle...probably a shoulder screw, bushing and threaded insert....... Once again, my hat is off to you. You have some serious smarts as well as talent here!! EDIT: The Bevel I was referring to above is really the Tapered Fence feature. The Bevel is ALSO genious. My current sled has three or four Kerfs. One at zero, one at 22.5, one at 30, one at 45 lol I have the same saw you have, so this should go a long ways in helping me.

I like how you "level" a straight edge.....LOL. Thank you for the excellent video!

After watching many sled design videos, I liked yours the best! You are a woodworking savant. The only change I made was creating a 4x4 grid to use the Microjig Matchfit system on the table and fence. Now my Dewalt DWE7491RS is a solid performing woodworking machine. Keep these fantastic solutions coming!

Es ist unglaublich welches Talent sie haben und die Präzision mit der sie Dinge ausführen selten so etwas vor der Kamera gesehen fantastisch

Thank God for your smarts lady again bless you.

This is hands down the smartest yet simple cross-cut sled I've ever seen! I am loving your channel as I found it just yesterday! Consider me a new fan! Looking forward to learning a lot of cool things from you :)

Love your videos. Great instruction for those of us that aren't experts. Keep bringing it!!

First I saw that edge guide - that's brilliant!

Best crosscut sled I've seen--and I've seen a lot.

Thanks for the great video. I am a new viewer and have really enjoyed watching. I think the reason you had difficulty with the back fence was that you added a second set of threaded inserts into the two oak back rails. This acts to deflect the two surfaces by however much error in clocking exists between the two joined threaded inserts, rather than tightening them together. For a 1/4-20 fastener, this can be as much as 0.050", nearly 1/16" (or zero if they are clocked just right.) If you used clearance holes into the oak pieces, the alignment of the extension rail to the primary rail should be much better, because the pieces would be pulled together. Still, really great video, thanks for the effort!

Thank you, Tamar, for the great sled design. Best of all... my new 3x3Custom stop block just arrived in the mail... making my sled absolutely perfect! Cheers!

I so impressed with your work. You are precise, clean and know exactly what you wish to achieve, that is certainly a recipe for success! Thanks so much for sharing!

simplemente EXCELENTE!!! saludos desde Argentina

"...and then you lock it down" Love it!

Your video is just awesome, thank you for making it!! You provide very clear and logical steps and the camera shots are so clean! My wife and I are going to try to build this. Thanks again!

I was literally going to build something like this after watching your last video on table saw sleds... only this is way better than the ideas I had! You're dopamine girl.

Muito bom seu trabalho, parabéns pela excelente qualidade de serviço!

Nossa parabéns Belo trabalho, sempre admirando seus trabalho ,aqui do Brasil 👏👏👏👏👏

I downloaded the plans and completed this sled today as we are in lockdown here in Melbourne, Australia. Tamara has designed a well thought out and useful woodworking tool. I can not thank you enough. All the best. Walt

Brilliant design and execution. I have a huge (26" deep) sled for large panels, but this smaller sled has so many nice features too. Yup, I'm gonna have two sleds now. Thanks.

So glad I waited to build my own cross-cut sled. Definitely doing this one!

Always great to watch your thought process.You are the jig queen.Invent one! You will live long and prosper.

Nice job. I'm retiring end of February, 40yrs Union Sheetmetal Worker/Fabricator/welder, and setting up a woodshop/metal shop. Going to get creative, have fun, and make some money. This will be a sled I make. Thank you 👍

Came across your videos and I love your work. Upgraded my shop saw yesterday and after seeing your sled I knew that's exactly the next sled for me. Hanging the old one on the wall as a piece of art/shes ready to retire. My very first RU-vid purchase! Awesome sled, keep up the great videos!!! (also only 5 bucks for the plans! You are the best)

Very clever sled! First time I am seeing your channel, I am going to check out some more of your content. It's nice to see a female bringing it in a male dominated hobby. If you make another sled extension, you may find dowels excellent for strength and repeated alignment vs biscuits.

Although this is sometime after you built this sled, I want to say thank you for sharing. I continue to be impressed by your ingenuity and the way you present the material in your RU-vid videos in a logical easy to use manner. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and why sometimes they didn't work, such as adding the extension when trying to square up the fence. For one of us that are going to try it stops us from thinking we have a better way, that you actually already tried and found not to work like one would think it does. One last thought, your explanation of Katz Moses stop block came across clearer and had more direct appeal than other I have seen on his top block, maybe I just haven't come across the right one yet. If I do build the cross-cut sled will need to get one. Do you still like the sled or would you do something different?

I'm so happy that I stumbled onto this today. Great project and free. The wood gods are smiling on us all. Thanks so much!!

watched your video on DeWalt table saw set up. very good . Now watching the cutting of a sled. great videos. i like the DeWalt products, but was apprehensive on the table saw. you have sold me. thank you

This is one of the coolest and best designed cross cut sleds I have ever seen. Very nice work.

Wow, I’ve been watching loads of videos on these sleds and this is defo the one I’m going to make. Just a quick question Tamar, I will be cutting a lot of 10” timber, would this design work if I just made the whole thing deeper? Many thanks for the brilliant video. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This is a wonderful sled. The single track for bevels is exactly what I need. Sleds are the most customizable accessory. Love it

Sowas von durchdacht, der absolute Hammer!

Perfect ❤️

"if i had a biscuit joiner id use that... " Then proceeds to make biscuit joints. Totally awesome.

I don't think I've ever commented on a RU-vid video before but I bought your plans, made the sled and can I just tell you how freaking brilliant it is?!?! I made some tiny modifications in order to use it on my Milwaukee M18 table saw, but it is f'ing amazing. I've made a sled in the past for a much bigger saw, but this is so far beyond amazing in its versatility and modular capabilities. THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Made this sled from your plans. Love it. Gonna get a lot of use. Thanks a bunch for your generosity and enthusiasm!

"I help my mom, Tamar, a lot. I am her doter

Awesome sled. I’m definitely making one. Also love that jig for the router. Do you have video for that?

So therapeutic to watch and listen to your calm voice. ✌😊 You're awesome!

You have/use great wood working skills and speak very clearly which makes it easier for people to understand and follow. keep up the great videos.

This is the best design I’ve ever seen! I will post a video about my crosscut sled soon. But it is verry bassic compared to yours. Keep up the good work love your builds!

Sorry I'm late to the party. This is so incredible T! Thank you so much for using my stop. i am so happy it is treating you right!

I watched this awe struck. Such a great design and skill.

This video and this sled are... inspiring. I've watched a thousand of these crosscut sled videos and this one is the smartest and best combo of features I want to have. Thank you.

I hope that your husband understands just how fortunate he is!

That router guide is a great idea, I'll be making one of those :)

Just built a new sled for my new saw, basing a fair amount of its functionality on your design (particularly the t-track positioning and the ability to use the miter stop with the clamps. It's a great tutorial video, and I'm really happy with my result. I didn't (yet) include a t-track on the fence because I haven't convinced myself that the extra utility from a track-based stop block is worth the effort, but perhaps that'll be something I add when I run out of things to do :) Thank you!! (also bought your plans online for the layout details)

I’ve been a subscriber of yours for years but just watched this video. Built one today and must say it’s my new favorite! I have a stack of sleds and this one will replace at least 3 of them. Great work as usual.

For bevel cuts with the extension arm in, I’d start to obsess over getting my support table on the same plane as the saw table..

Hey Tamar. Quick Thank You note. I'm a relatively new woodworker and stumbled across this in a search for cross-cut sleds, then dove into your other videos. You do an excellent job of clearly explaining projects (with plans and tool lists, too), including woodshop essentials like this one. And you don't lard your videos with headbanger music in the background, which is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your work!

This is quite possibly the most well thought out and FUNCTIONAL crosscut asked I have EVER seen!!! WELL DONE!!!!!!

The holes in the oak extension pieces should not have threaded inserts as they will not be able to pull down tight properly... drill them out to the clearance size of the threaded knob (M8 ? 5/16" nc ? ) Great jig... 😉 😎👍☘🍺

Over-engineer it like a boss, typically lasts longer and is more stable.

I made one of these following your instructions and it works great. Really appreciate all your videos and tips/tricks, Tamar, stuff I would never have figured out myself. Pretty amazing how you can pull this off so well while being a mom and wife, too. Thanks so much for sharing!

I am a fan of Alonso. I like livery he was using that year.

Anyone else have a heart attack every time she's checking the router bit height with her finger and you hear the lift motor turn on?

Excellent sled , I have made many and this is a fully functional jig . Thanks for sharing

Bought the 0lans last fall, finally got around to building this jig. It works perfectly; just as you described! Your instructions and plans are so very clear and so follow. Grateful for your guidance.

After watching this video I made sure to purchase the plans. Thanks for the first cut list for my new Skil table saw ☺️
