Many thanks! I have a smaller Skil table saw, and nearly every video I find for a crosscut sled is for use with larger cabinet table saws. My "shop" is one half of a two-car garage so I have to move my table saw around all the time when I want to use it. This build will work perfectly!

Thank you! Your instructions were as clear as could be. It worked perfectly!

[Sebastard]

Damn, wish I watched this before the last video I watched ! Would have saved me a lot of time lol . I’ll be building this next ! Thanks

[philipdavisonsawdust]

Good video well explained understood the plans thanks Keith

[melissamuszynski]

So helpful & educational. Thank you!

As @Uscwaller pointed out, that cross cut I made with that longer piece should have been done with a miter gauge, not up against the fence like I showed 1:10 . Once you have your crosscut sled done, you should used that for cuts like this. Thanks again for point that out. Safety first!

Bro I cannot thank you enough for the simple explanation you bring to these videos. If you're open to criticism, all I will say is that you do not need so many dynamic zooms(the slow zooms that last about 5 seconds). You are an incredibly engaging teacher, but the zooms makes me feel like you're trying to keep my attention in a gimmicky way. Just some food for thought. Keep kicking ass though, my guy.

Would it be a good idea to install some toggle clamps to hold pieces in place?

[Uscwaller]

Sketchy cuts on that long narrow piece without using a miter gauge or other sled

[Gazman]

I use the same saw, and I really like the additions that you've made. The fence, and the infeed extension piece. Did you make videos on those additions? Subscribed.

[chengliu]

Does having only one rail affect stability when making cross cuts in longer pieces?

[jackgaskins]

Hi. Does your dewalt table saw cut accurately? I'm thinking of buying one.

[Nick-hjdn]

A minute and half in, and I had to stop watching. I realize you've already addressed the issue, but I strongly suggest remaking this video using safer techniques.The cut you made at 1:28 is exactly how people lose fingers on tablesaws

At the end, You didn't even demonstrate how your build worked?
