last weekend I saw a demo on the Micro Jig Sled project and thought this could come in handy. So I knew I had the parts at home and decided this would get done. Took my time and finished this afternoon. I made that additional fence which actually works well to capture the piece against the fence as well as being able to set it at any angle.
I did use the Top Coat finish but only 3 coats with light sanding between coats (220 grit). The Aux fence is 1" maple left over from the 3-in-1 project. I also added two stop blocks for repetitive cuts although 1 is sufficient. I had the wood and hardware hence the spare. The sled measures 16x22 and is built so you can mount the miter slot guide for both configurations, 16x22 or 22x16. The center screw of the 3 stays and the miter guide rotates 90 degrees. I added the additional holes so it line up for use on my router table. I may make a smaller one for the band saw if I see a need.
And for those saw dust cops, yes I get it on the floor although it doesn't stay long. That table saw router insert wind sure lets the saw dust fly......but really comes in handy. I would have had to remove the router table fence to get the inner dovetail slots had I not had the insert.
