A critical part of woodworking is making clean, square crosscuts. This leads to snug-fitting joinery and a better-looking project. So it comes as no surprise that most woodworkers rely on their table saws along with easy-to-build sleds to tackle this task. The step-by-step plans will walk you though building and setting up a few simple sleds for crosscuts and miters.

In this multi-part video, Phil will walk you through building and setting up a basic table saw crosscut sled for beginners and then how to step up your game by building a 2-sided sled. In the final part, Phil shows all the must-have accessories for your table saw crosscut sled to get accurate and repeatable results.

You do have to spend some time setting the saw up... blade, fence, etc. But once done, the saw is great. Fairly compact which is Nice youtube.com/post/UgkxXh-4_3-ZT1fFWP91ZV7iVqzElr0lE… I did get an Incra Miter Gauge which takes some setup as well. The stock miter gauge can be adjusted in the miter slot with a little painter's tape... this tightens up the side to side play a lot.

This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection youtube.com/post/UgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6… I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.

Good video. Went into good detail about a lot of how everything needs to be made but would have liked to hear more of how to adjust the back fence.

Mil gracias. Cabal eso estaba haciendo y subí a buscar algunos modelos. Encontré el de ustedes y ¡¡¡vaya sorpresa!!!, planos gratuitos. Dios los bendiga por ser tan generosos al compartir sus experiencias y permitir que otros podamos usar sus diseños. Un saludo desde Guatemala.
