| Forum Contributer Supreme Forum King  |  Nice job George, I'm fortunate that I have a radial arm saw and so don't need one. Like you I can't always guarantee that my projects are square so adjustments are a good idea. By the way George, you're lawn needs cutting!

| Registered User Supreme Forum King  | Thanks Harry. I have a slide compound miter saw but I like to have options. Would you believe the yard was mowed just 2 days previous to the picture? We have been getting so much rain I can't keep up with the grass.

| Registered User Forum Geek  | George, I've also been searching the net for plans or pics of a good crosscut sled. So far I think I like yours the best. Really like the hinged blade guard and the adjustability.

| Registered User Supreme Forum King | Thanks Rusty. It's fairly simple to make... the hard part is getting the miter slides lined up on the sled but a little carpet tape and the saw fence helps with that. I think the blade guard would be better out of lexan or plexiglass so you can see through it to line up the cuts without lifting it, but I didn't have any laying around.

| Registered User Forum Geek  | Very nice George. I too have been looking at sleds and there is a wide variety of them... everyone seems to have a variation. I've also seen some that have jigs, either permanent, or removable, that allow angled cuts. Brian

| Registered User Forum Geek  | George, thanks for showing your Shopsmith. I have a 1954/2006 520. See the attached 45 degree jig. I went to one of my local TAP Plastics and had the acrylic guides cut to the size of my mitre bar. Each 16" slide was about $1.00. I really didn't know how valuable jigs were until seeing Bob and Rick and Norm's shows. Thanks again. -Derek |
