Cross cut sled

[Bill in Buena Park]

Beaux, it works great. I made mine a single runner version, and it always gives me a square crosscut. I did the extension table to the left as well, and it provides excellent support to longer pieces when I don't want to fire up the RAS or drag out the CMS for them. Dados great too - but I didn't plan on a ZC insert for the fence, so I added the ability to use sacrificial ZC plates to the fence.

I allowed unsecured view - got the pictures- that Niki is amazing - that sled has got to be perfect. Simple but inventive - I looked at some of his other works - very cool. I think I need to pick up a couple of the plastic triangles - guessing a drafting supply or maybe office Depot. I am going to spend some time going over his posts - although the the idea of an adjustable Kerf slot would allow for the Dado. Start simple right ;-)

yes, niki was amazing. he posted his ideas to several forums and about the only thing i've never heard any disagreement on was how amazing and inventive niki was. he is sorely missed.

Beaux - photos enclosed as requested. See the inside edge of the fence for the ZC plate of hardboard, which I can swap out for dados.

Pretty **** cool - looks like you have used it too. Did you build the jigs to attach to it too! Not sure my skills are up to it yet - I think I will try a simple one first and see how it goes. On thing I did find - There is a Habitat Restore in town - it is a great place for wood source - there are a lot of cabinet doors of pretty good plywood stock - some are finished but I can get around that - this stuff is pennies on the dollar. Will use if for my first sled - Thanks for posting ;-)
