Making Safe Crosscuts with a Table Saw | Rockler Skill Builders

How to make repeatable cuts on your table saw. A sacrificial fence is a replaceable fence that is attached to your miter gauge. The sacrificial fence provides additional support behind the work piece and prevents splintering on the back side of the cut. A stand-off block is a spacer that is attached to the guide fence. The stand-off block is used to register the work piece to make the same length crosscut with each pass. The stand-off block keep the work piece away from the fence during the cut, preventing any chance of binding or kick back.

Thank you! There are a hundred videos on how to make a sled (and I understand they have many benefits), but this is one of the only videos I could find on making cuts without building or buying extra components.
