I was having some problems doing some 45 degree beveled cuts for some trophy bases I'm working on. The very slight variations in heights of my saw table, SMT and auxiliary tables were throwing my miters off.
I was just going to do a sled for 45 degree bevels but I was able to do a combo 90 degree crosscut and 45 degree bevel sled. The base is a laminate covered poplar plywood shelf scrap. It's 48" long and 11 1/2" wide. It will handle up to an 8 1/2" wide board. The milled 2x4 SYP fences have routered t-slots down the lengths for stop blocks & hold downs. There are 3 t-slots on the sled top for hold downs too. An Incra 24" miter slider was fastened in the middle of the sled. I just have to flip the sled end for end to change the degree of the crosscut.
The miter bar sticking out in the middle makes storage difficult, but I sure can get some accurate crosscuts and bevels now.
