Hey Everyone! Well, here it is. The video that didn't want to be made. I had a heck of a time getting this thing created. The sled was easy compared to the video. I lost footage, got a new phone and lost all of my edits. Had sync issues, you name it.
Anyway, the sled has been an amazing addition to my table saw and I set the plans up so that you can easily adjust any dimensions that you want to make it work for your saw. My saw is the Saw Stop 3hp PCS.
Remember to please comment below and ask me some questions as i will address the important ones in my follow up video!
Thanks again for your patience on this one and see you soon!

@JayBates Жыл бұрын

Great sled. I like the left side 45 degree concept. If you make a secondary stop block for the left side that overhangs the 45 degree cut by an inch or so it will give you enough adjustment to set a stop on the offcut side of the 45 degree cut. Then there is no measuring to make sure the bevel is the same. Just slide it to the stop block and every bevel will be identical.

@CReevesMakes Жыл бұрын

Thanks Jay! Yes I actually figured that out after doing a couple of boards quickly saw the ease of using the block on the off side of the bevel. 👍🏻 always learning and improving!

Nice sled design. I really like the left side 45 degree bevel feature by using the single miter rail under the sled. While some may like the laminate surface, I actually don't and find it too slippery. A well sanded and poly'd birch plywood surface is best for me and provides just the right amount of grip vs. ability to adjust the part being cut. On the underside it would be perfect to slide on the saw top.

A+ on fit, form and features! Need to go back and see exactly how the sliding kerf works. Only think I would add would be long handle holes on the left side. My sled just got them and I'll never look back. One feature that I'm dying to see is a micro adjustment feature for the front sled. William NG got me to a 1/1000 but over time things change with wood. Absolutely the best design, as long as the adjustable kerf does not add errors or trouble.

@CReevesMakes Жыл бұрын

I had thought about cutting slotted handles in it but got tired of overdoing it. I may still add them. It would aid in lifting the sled.

Wish I would have watched this video before I built my sled. I have most of the features that you have but did it differently. Had I known about the Kreg slides I wouldnt have felt so uncomfortable with a single runner sled. I was concerned that there would be play and even some binding with only one runner. This forced me to eliminate the sliding zero clearance feature. I made mine with HDPE throat plates that are removable for different width kerf. Have the t-track on top as well. My blade guard is basically a box with a Plexiglas top so you can see the blade come through the fence and a 1/8 inch steel plate on back to ensure the blade never reaches your hand. Wrecking the blade is a small price to pay. I will send pics if your interested but it really doesnt have anything over your design. Thanks for the excellent video and this enticed me to subscribe. Will definitely be watching for your videos. Paul
