How I Built A portable Table Saw Cross Cut Sled Jig…

Posted on December 26th, 2011 by Alan

I made this in no time. Please comment as to how I can make this far better. I want to eventually construct a quite good shop sled…

    i made a sled once, but it was on an Ace saw with a pseudo T-slot so it was a bit of a pain. then of course? the wing broke off the table later for some reason rendering the sled useless

    @12345mike6789 More vids… Awesome! They’ll inevitably get better as you go along. One thing you should consider is to have someone else as your cameraman. A tripod would work but with the number of times you’d want to zoom in on the things you’re describing in detail, you’d be forever going back and forth between the camera and the? project so that option really isn’t viable. I spent 10 years as a girls’ tournament softball coach and I made numerous instructional videos over the years.

    Nicely done my brother! I’m a middle-aged guy who never took shop class in high school and grew up without a dad around so woodworking is something I’m learning later in life than the average guy. I’m a do-it-yourselfer as much as possible and it’s instructional vids like yours that make it possible for guys like me to learn this stuff as we go along.? Your sled kicks butt compared to many of the others shown on YT. Thanks for taking the time to share your idea with us!
    Regards,
    Coach

    Mike, thanks for this great video.? I have never made a table saw sled before. What I know about woodworking wouldn’t fill a thimble :) But I do have a small table saw and I now understand more about saw sleds and I will refer to this video when I build my sled. Thanks again!!!
