Basic 45 degree Table Saw Sled // Bevel Crosscut Sled
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 พ.ย. 2024
- In this woodworking video, I’ll show you how to make a basic 45 degree table saw sled for bevel cuts. This bevel crosscut sled makes it safe and easy to make bevel cuts in panels. The design is simple and accurate, with a twist: I made it out of laminated particle board. I’ll walk you through the benefits of using laminate for a 45 degree bevel cutting jig or any cross cut sled for that matter!

I built my flip-top cart from your video, using exactly what you did to house my DeWalt 13" thickness planer and Harbor Freight Spindle sander. It came out PERFECT and strong.
Then I used your video about installing cheap drawer slides to build 2 drawers for the stand I built for my DeWalt 7491RS table saw. Thanks to your instruction, it came out looking like a professional finish carpenter built it.
Now I am building a jointer jig for the table saw and decided I would once again try what you did. I'm using Home Depot 3/4" x 12" x 48" Melamine covered shelving particle board and it is coming out VERY nicely.
Here is something I learned about using Melamine shelf boards I want to pass along.
The shelving has banding installed from the factory along 3 sides. Do NOT assume the banded edge is perfectly straight because it is not. The actual true straight edge is the unfinished factory edge, believe it or not.
Anyway, thanks for the great projects!
Thanks for sharing the mistakes too, I tend to glue up on my table saw too.
Greetings from across the pond. You’ve got such a lovely clear way of explaining everything… I’m now going to build myself a 45 degree sled 👍👍
This video was presented nicely and simply. A good rule of thumb for crosscutting or using the fence to guide a workpiece is the following: "Never attempt to use the rip fence if the distance from the fence to the blade is greater than the distance the board covers along the fence". During my short career in teaching "shop/tech" class we developed a solid safety program. If you would like I can send you my version and use it as you see fit. The SawStop table saw is the only way to go in a school setting. It saved at least 3 fingers in our school setting. In addition, SawStop has a great support staff in both customer service and tech help. Keep moving forward Marie!
That rule sounds about right and just proves I needed to make this sled!
I'd love a copy of your safety program if you don't mind sharing :)
WOW ... This video got me out of a jam. I was trying to make some boxes with 45 degree miters with a miter gauge and it was kicking my butt.
I have always used 18mm plywood to make my table saw sleds but having watched your video I have some particle board I kept from an old wardrobe, so you have inspired me to make my next sled using the particle board.
Excellent tip about using table saw fence to laminate the plywood! Thanks.
So nice and simple. Thank you for sharing.
Can you make a video to show us the dust collection system installed on your table saw?
At least I know what I’m doing this Winter Marie! 👍
Something to look forward to 😂
@@DIYMontreal Hey - listen, we get just as much snow here in Ottawa as you do in Montreal. Between that and COVID, I'll (and you)be spending plenty of time in my (your) workshop! ;-)
What a beautiful shop you have. Here in the Philippines I don't have a table saw so I'm using a regular circular saw mounted upside down on a piece of 3/4" plywood ("poor man's table saw") mounted between two sawhorses behind my house. It handles ripping quite well and I've built a cutoff sled for it also. I've used it to build a complete set of kitchen cabinets and a nice plywood desk with mahogany edge banding. My only other power tool is a drill. You do such nice work. Thanks for this.
I wish I saw this sooner, I just made a sled for my table saw but will keep this in mind when I but my new one.
Very nicely done. I respect the fact that you mention it, if and when you make a mistake. Wish I had a nickel every time I made a goof and had to redo something. Look forward to your next installment.
Just keeping it real! Thanks 😊
Comme a votre habitude une belle vidéo. Travail et images de qualités. C'est toujours un vrai plaisir.
Merci beaucoup, c'est très apprécié!
Excellent Craftsmanship. Way to go.
Thanks 👍
Many thanks for the heads up re: Melamine, as your results are very obvious. Also, thank you for including your "goofs" as seeing them helps keep them in our brains and will, hopefully, drive the point home as we learn from your history! I've watched a number of your videos now and enjoy every one of them. Keep up the great work!
So there is some good use for particle board 😀
That came out nice, like how it slides like James Brown.
This is THE BEST use for particle board. Especially left over pieces 👍
Thank you for such a nice and clean presentation!! Very helpfull!!
Nice video! Particle board can be flatter but its also heavier than plywood which might be a consideration to some.
i\ve watch this video a bunch of times. what a great job.
hi Marie ...new subscriber here...i came across your channel looking for crosscut sleds....very nice informative channel...i'm from northern Ontario,Canada....will be binge watching your channel this weekend...lol...cheers keep up the excellent work,be safe
Thanks for the video and for the great tips contained therein.
I will build a similar sled this weekend.
Great video and technique!
Thanks for sharing.
Nice shop by the way!
Thanks!
Really nice work! 😃
And that's a great idea! I'm definitely going to make one as well! Thanks a lot!!! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
A must for any shop! Enjoy the build 👍
Hi Marie,its a pleasure to watch you work😉 nice job.
If your worried about the board being to slick you can glue down some strips of sand paper .
That's exactly what I originally had expected I might have to do, but happy to realize it won't be necessary :)
Beautiful video ... thank you very much for sharing your knowledge ... greetings from Argentina...muchas gracias!
Useful tips for checking accuracy. I had to look up 5 cut method.
Here it is for everybody else: th-cam.com/video/UbG-n--LFgQ/w-d-xo.html
I was just thinking I should make one myself. Interesting timing.
Awesome! Hope I was able to share a few useful tips.
Great idea for a sled it will be a lot safer for you then using the rip fence that's forsure. Keep up the great videos
Thanks! Definitely always want to put safety above all else in the shop.
Great job on the table saw sled Marie! Thanks for sharing the video with us!💖👌👍😎JP
Thanks JP!
Your very welcome Marie! Have a fantastic weekend!😎
Nice job I'm just making a cross cutting sled for my saw 😎 I love the accuracy of your 45 degrees sled 👍
Magic! Thanks so much 👏🌹🇦🇺✌️
Perfect. Exactly what I was looking for, and presented in a clear, concise manner, easy to follow and replicate. Subbed and following! 👍🏼🙏🏼
Hi , I saw you had a Ryobi table saw. Would have plans for the cross cut sled you built for it
Very nice build, i had made a cross cut sled from a Melamine board which i salvaged from an old wardrobe, that worked out great but now i have to make a new one because i have a different saw, but the Melamine works great.
Might i suggest running some wax or another water proof solution along the edges of the Melamine, where the bare wood particles are showing, that way it'll stop any damp getting in there.
Stay Safe,
Barry (ENG)
Glad to hear I'm not the only melamine fan when it comes to sleds! As for the your suggestion, I don't expect to have water or moisture near the sled, but then again, things happen lol, so not a bad idea to be on the safe side!
That’s a good looking sled, thank you. One thing, wouldn’t it be safer to add a block to the fence where the blade comes through? Might prevent someone from taking off part of their hand.
Nice target switch clean aim...
How do you attach the plastic runners without having the plastic expand with the use of screws and making them too tight in the miter slot?
Loved it. Congratulations!!!! 😍
Thanks!
How great is your workshop
Thanks-I’ll be making on of these. 👍🏻
That was super helpful - and very clear! thank you! Although I did find your immaculate workshop slightly unnerving! ;-)
nice my friend great 👍 job
thanks!
Hi I found out two useful things from this video, one that greaseproof paper does not protect the top of a table saw and two an easier way of checking than the five cut method. I would not use melamine as my shop is damp and it would warp over time.
Glad you got something useful out of it!
Found you recently.Great site,same shop problems as me.Size! Merci beaucoup from Merrickville,Ontario
Gut gearbeitet!
Excellent!!
Thanks!
Are there any drawbacks to using the same sled for cuts ranging from 90 to 45 degrees? Other than making the registration mark on the push brace not so usable? I don't want to build a different sled for every angle. I use 90, 45, and 15 degrees often.
Wonderful
Thanks for this!
Well done, video and sled
How did you make the table that your Dewalt and Rigid are sitting on. That's way kewl.. I'd like to see some plans on it.
Here's the flip top cart video: th-cam.com/video/YiDvT6_mcNI/w-d-xo.html
Parabéns, te acompanho desde sua primeira oficina. Sou teu fã. Suas postagens são maravilhosas😍
Super 👍👍👍👍
I would glue some sand paper strips on it to keep the boards from shifting
I'm from Indonesia, please make a video on how to cut the edges of plywood 50 °
You can make the sled at 50⁰ instead of 45 or use a track saw for longer cuts.
Italia biutiful 🥰👍👍👍👍👍👍💯💯👏👏👏👏👏
Not to mention your videos !
I notice you’re using your splitter with this sled. Can you please explain why?
Do you like your track saw? Would you recommend it?
It gets the job done. Terrible dust collection and definitely not a precision tool.m, but it's' the most affordable track saw out there.
Really helpful video with a lot of great ideas. Thank you for doing this!
Nylon runners, the secret ingredient:-).
What table saw do you use?
What’s the point of having fences on both sides ?
The second fence is just to hold the sled together (since it's cut in half)
Nice video and a few useful tips. But as a canadian you should really talk metric. As the part of the brain to understand a foreign language is not the same one as to do math, I am really frustrated to hear medieval imperial measures and not getting a sense of the dimensions in play. Last time I was in Canada 40 years ago the metric system was already adopted and you don't look that old!
Strange thing about Canada... everything is metric expect anything related to building materials, tools, etc. Thank you US neighbors.
