Mini Table Saw Crosscut Sled - Accurate 45 & 90 Cuts

A project I'm planning requires accurate mitered joints, so I decided to make a small, convenient table saw sled that's able to make both 90- and 45-degree cuts. The sled uses a plastic runner, made from an old cutting board, that's cut to fit in the miter slots of the top.

IMPORTANT! If you're looking to replicate this project, make sure that your table saw blade is parallel to the slots in the top and that the fence is also parallel to the blade. To do this, consult your table saw manual.

This sled may be all I need. Thx 4 sharing!

Was about to build a small sled, too. Will make one like yours. Very nicely done. Thank you.

Nice idea. For 45° cuts, it is easier to reverse the side.

[robertspitaleri]

Thank you for prompt reply. I am underway with this now.

I plan to build two small sleds - one for mitre and another for exact cross cuts. Both will extend some what to the right of the blade to stabilize the offcut. Thought this would simplify box-making. I think one-purpose dedicated jigs afford more accuracy.

Nice minimalistic shed! Thanks for sharing Dario!

Thank you, I’m a beginner so verbally explaining what you are doing and why would be really helpful! Excellent otherwise

I just made on of these. you will have to extend the back fence on both sides so that it doesnt leave a little piece stuck on either ur cut off piece or ur work piece.

Thanks for sharing. Will be making one soon.

Nice idea for the sled. I never thought about using a Corian cutting board it's perfect for that. What table saw are you using it's nice ?

[wagnerluis]

Nice!!!... I will try to make one of this to me...thank you for sharing
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Nailed it So much contrast with all that over engineered sled vids around that req 25k$ of pro tools to build 😄

Should make it extend in both directions by about 2 inches passed the cut so it's a zero clearance cut and prevents tear out. But, other than that, great job.

Quando ho acquistato questo banco sega l'ho trovato completamente fuori squadro. Poi, con un po di pazienza, l'ho riportato ai valori ottimali. L'unico limite rimangono gli slot che non sono 3/4 standard... complimenti per I Tuoi lavori, saluti.

I think you should have spent more effort making sure the back rail was exactly at 90 degrees to the cut line. I'll bet if you did the five cut test you would find it's not as accurate as you think it is.

Is your saw a Bosch ? I have the GTS 1031 and I see a lot of similarities and I'm curious if it is and your thoughts on how it performs. I finally imbedded mine into my work table and I'm quite pleased with the vast improvement and how much easier to cut longer boards and the extra space I now have !

[Andrezeu]

Gostei da sua ideia, vou fazer um igual a este.

Unfortunately, being hearing impaired, I could only view the video and read some of the closed captions. I have a Kobalt job site saw approximately the size of your saw. Can you tell me the dimensions of the sled base. You have done an excellent video. Many thanks!

[robertspitaleri]

Dario, Thanks so much. I want to make one now for small mitered boxes. Please what dimension in the sled? Length and width.
