Flagship Table Saw Sled! Crosscut, Miter, Bevel, Dado, Picture Frames & More!

FLAGSHIP CROSSCUT SLED Does it all! It cuts miters, bevels, compound angles, Dadoes, Rabbets, Picture Frames and More! Features both bottom and back fence- removable zero clearance inserts! Plus it works for both left & right tilting saws with no modifications!

(these make it quicker and easier to lay out holes, but they are definitely not needed. It will help guarantee accuracy if you are concerned) note: Templates are NOT sold separately, they are only sold with plans)

Since we replaced our Grizzly table saw with the Saw Stop we have been in need of a new crosscut sled. We thought about building our Extreme Crosscut Table Saw Sled but realized that it could use a few improvements. Don’t get me wrong, it is an excellent table saw sled and is a very popular tool. However, one issue we have had with it, is its weight. It is just too heavy.

So, we decided to design a new sled that would function just as well as the old one but would also be HALF THE WEIGHT!

We liked that we could switch between thin kerf and dado blades without having to build a whole new sled, but rather than having to remove and replace the zero clearance insert every time we change blades, we designed it to move them to accommodate the blade thickness.
We also thought about the different sleds we use and incorporated some of those uses into this sled. So, instead of having a large and cumbersome sled just for making picture frames, this sled has an attachment to make picture frames perfectly. And, instead of a separate sled for cutting accurate angles we have incorporated an attachment that will do the same thing.
The movable zero clearance inserts can also be moved to allow the blade to be tilted to cut bevels. And, it accommodates both left and right tilting saws.

My favorite feature of your video is that you show us what your sled can do FIRST, and only THEN how it's made. That is, you "sell" us on *why* we want this, and once our interest is sufficient, we're in for the details. Yes, with other YouTubers you can skip around all you want, but I think your approach is more logical and intuitive. From this alone--good videography!

I didn't think you could improve your last once and now you've done it. Most thoughtful sled build ever!

Thanks James, What a great sled it seems to cover all cuts required on the Table Saw. Well done to all the Family.

This appears to be the ideal sled. Love the detail in the video. I have been doing outdoor projects for years. Always used a miter saw and circular instead of a sled on my table saw. Now it is time to do some detailed woodworking. I just ordered the plans. This will be a welcome accessory in my workshop.

Wow, that is clever. What a superbly thought out piece of kit. Hope you've patented the design before the big boys nick all of your clever ideas! Thanks for posting.

Thank you, James, for another fantastic build! The amount of thought and planning always shines through in your designs. Now I must go build one!!!!

I am in the process of building my sled. I added some epoxy under the t-track on the base to give a little more holding power since the screws are only 3/8". I put on the rear fence yesterday being very careful to keep it square to the blade, did the 5 cut method and the math and ended up with 0.0001". Good enough!

Brilliant design and work, James! Really well done!!! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

That's a very well thought out sled, James! It's an inspiration for me to make something similar for my little Bosch contractor's table saw.
I love how you show the whole process and explain how to do the tricky bits. And I love that this video is over an hour long! (Maybe not what the YouTube algorithm likes, but who cares!) Looking forward to watching the second part!

That's an AWESOME sled you well thought out and I love that you've lightened the weight. It is great that your sled will do dado's too and will accommodate any width of regular blades. As always, your explanations and narrative are excellent. I missed seeing Princess supervising everything from her bed on the workbench but perhaps she was behind the camera filming this time! Best wishes from AZ!!!

I am not a carpenter and I enjoyed your video. Thanks

Best explanation of the 5 cut method I've ever seen. Thanks!

Great looking sled.. Love the different options on the sled!

[Arsenist]

I'm obsessed with this! I can't wait to buy one! Excellent job, so very inspiring.

[joewhitney]

Great video James, nice sled. Looking forward to see your next video on the rest of the accessories.
Thanks for sharing.

[brucemitchell]

Great video, James! You really spent alot of time thinking this sled through!

[michaelnorman]

Mr. James you are a genius kind sir I’m sure this is a very fine product as are your hammers in which I love mine and I’m sure your plans are just as accurate as your Adirondack chairs and rockers and to which I have bought your plans and built seeral which are on point I love your attention to detail and your plans are most accurate if anyone is looking to buy this product or plans you are definitely in the right place! I am in no affiliate capacity whatsoever I’ve just bought plants in the past I’ve been very successful with such detailed plans! I am definitely considering purchasing this package as of I do have the Incra Miter sled myself as I think it would be very beneficial in my shop as well! Due to all the dados and zero clearance plates that are involved!

James. Where have I been? 432k subs! Congratulations. Thanks for the content.

[shawnmuckleroy]

I just completed my order for the sled...can't wait to get it!

Awesome design! I did come here to say that there is a difference if you have a void area without glue though. It will act as a weak point (crack propagator) so you should try to glue the entire bond area with adhesive always. Better to have squeeze-out than not.
