This is not a BT3xx specific question, but thought I'd ask. I was reading an article on the web about cross-cut sleds/panel sleds for table saws that utilize miter slots and according to this article, the position of the fence on the sled should be determined by the size of the workpiece. It went on to recommend that for larger panels (in excess of 12 inches), the fence should be on the leading edge of the sled, and for "normal" sized panels, it should be on the trailing edge of the sled. I don't know why, but I can't get it through my thick head why putting a fence on the leading edge of a cross-cut sled would be beneficial. It seems like it would be harder to apply downward pressure to the workpiece as it moves farther away from you and in general, giving you less control. I know it's not a BT issue, but I thought it was an interesting notion.
Anyone have any thoughts?
