Ever seen a crosscut sled that will cut tenons and splines? That is unaffected by the sawdust that piles up between the fences? With adjustable guides and fences that can be made perfectly true and square? That enables you to dial in repetitive cuts to the nearest 1/128" or 0.125 mm? This double-sided crosscut sled will do all that and more. Nick reviews some unique designs that you will certainly want to incorporate into your next sled.
The plans for this brilliant sled, its guards, stop and tenoning jig that Nick explains are available from the Workshop Companion General Store at workshopcompanionstore.com/pr... .

The longer I watched, the more persuasive your arguments for bolted fences seemed!

@WorkshopCompanion 11 ай бұрын

Let me give you one more push. One-time adjustments are common in manufacturing, and your table saw is a good example. The saw carriage needs to be aligned with the miter gauge slots. Because of the variables in materials and machining, manufacturers cannot make a properly aligned saw each and every time. This adjustment has to be dialed in after the saw is assembled. But it only needs to be done once. The fence on the sled is adjustable for the same reason.

So glad you didn't pitch this as yet another "ultimate" saw sled. This seems like a good, solid design, Nick. And, as usual, a very informative video. Thanks.

@WorkshopCompanion 11 ай бұрын

Most welcome. Ultimate and other superlatives have no meaning in craftsmanship. One of the takeaways that I have from my career as an author is that we all love plans, but very few craftsman follow them exactly the way they've been drawn. We're all looking for information and ideas that help us create in our own unique ways. Because you and I approach woodworking problems from different viewpoints, your ultimate sled and mine will be quite different. But you may have a few features on yours that I'd just love to borrow.

Never seen this channel before but I'm very impressed (by the quality of the presentation and the fact that you talk about both imperial and metric dimensions - music to the ears of this Brit) I'm currently sketching out a design for a cross cut sled, and I may well steal the "fence on washers" trick - nice. My current plan is that the rear fence, like yours, will not be stuck down, but will be adjustable. My idea is to have a pivot bolt at one end, and a captive nut attached to the base at the other, and with a adjustment bolt through the base captive nut into another captive nut in the fence - my plan is that the fence angle will be trivial to adjust merely by turning the adjustment bolt - I'll probably have another bolt or two to lock it down after adjustment.

Great design! One thing though.....I really like the idea of cross cutting a board and flipping one side to test for square. But one thing.....and correct me if I'm wrong..... you will get a different answer depending on whether you flip the right side or the left side. The gap will either be at the fence or away from the fence depending on which board you flip.....consequently, I think you will need to clarify your CW vs CCW instructions. Again, test it out, I did, and I think this is right, but let me know! 🙂

It is quite an unique idea to have an adjustable fence. I am wondering how often a fence would go out of square if screwed to the base. One suggestion is to somehow recess those bolts. Then when we push the sled we dont have to worry about our hand placement on the fence.

@WorkshopCompanion 11 ай бұрын

It's not so much that a fence goes out of square over time. It's that you often don't get it perfect the first time, and you either have to live with a fence that's a little out of square or make a whole new sled.

My 1956 Yates American saw has miter slots that are only 5/16" deep. To make guide bars, I cut a wood strip ~5/8" wide by 3/16" thick and lay it in the waxed miter slot. Then I lay a bead of glue on the wood strip, and then a column of new clean pennies which are 0.7500" in diameter. Now I have perfect fitting guide bars to glue/screw on the bottoms of sleds.

Hope you see this reply. My first woodworking project was a rubber powered stick built model airplane. My took kit consisted of a razor blade and a fingernail emery board for sandpaper. My Mom wrapped first aid tape around one edge of the razor blade so I wouldn't get hurt. My workbench was a folding table and my workshop was my bedroom. That was almost 60 years ago when I was 10. If you don't have the space or money for bigger projects there are still things like the airplanes I built or model ships that don't require lots of space, money and tools. It's still working with wood. Those early airplanes led me to develop manual and problem solving skills that have grown for my entire life. Just do anything with your hands and mind!

@rashkavar 11 ай бұрын

@@David-hm9ic An inspiring story, and an excellent point. The stuff that's gotten me interested now is making furniture, which...definitely requires tools more robust than a razor blade and an emery board. That said, it is still possible - I hadn't meant to go into detail originally, but I can access my dad's workshop. It doesn't meet the standards of maker-tube in terms of looking nice, and its organization system appears to be "it goes where it fits" for the most part, and it's inconvenient to access, but it's definitely a sizable step up from nothing. And...honestly...I might have to look into models at some point. I definitely have a space I can use for such a project, and it'd be neat to see what I can come up with. Thanks!

One small tip, the wider the piece of board you cut in half to guage the accuracy of your fence being in square, the more accurate you can dial it in because there is a longer run of surfaces on the board edges to inspect for the gap size. The gap size becomes more magnified as the width of the test board increases allowing more accuracy of dialing it in. Use as wide of a board that you can get that will safely fit between the fence and the blade.
