| Registered User Supreme Forum King  Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Fort Worth,Texas USA First Name: George Posts: 1,588  |  Table Saw Cross-cut Sled I have wanted to build one of these for a while but just now got around to doing it. After looking around a few sites for ideas I decided to KISS (keep it simple...) but I did want it to be adjustable because if it isn't square to the blade it's useless. I used 3/4" oak for the fences and runners and 1/2" MDF for the sled and blade guard. Wing nuts and bolts on the back fence make it adjustable. Rather than make this any more long winded the following pics will speak for themselves...

| Forum Moderator Supreme Forum King  | George, Nice job! I especially like the blade guard idea. I am a little confused on the adjustable concept as I though once it was square it would always be square. I know something is going right over my head and hoping you can give me a little more info to help the light come on

| Registered User Forum Fanatic | In my experience, few things in this world are perfect (or even close to it) so I think it's great that George's sled has the ability to fine tune the alignment if needed.  Greg |

| Senior Moderator Supreme Forum King  | George isn't fooling me, that isnt a blade guard it's a rattle snake retaining bar.

Mike, it would take a bigger bar than that to retain one of our 9' rattlers.
