Hey, thanks for this video. I was in the Discord a few weeks back asking about how to cut sime weird angles on small pieces and you said you'd make a jig video about it and I'm so happy you did.
WOW!!! I have been trying to set up my shop for my upcoming retirement and you just saved me a ton of money with this. Love all your videos. You are great!!
I found you a year ago, and have watched a shop load of your videos. This by far the best! No tracks to buy, no fancy clamps, just build and get to work. I built your end table concealment for my SIL, great project and Lock Connection was amazing to work with!
Thank you, Matty P! I built a jig that is just for tapering, but this one has so many more uses, as you've shown -- especially for cutting acute angles to make stars.
So many problems solved in one jig. I don’t have a planer, and now don’t need one. Also I was planning to make a jig specifically to cut hexagons but I could use this. Thank you.
Made the jig and tested it. It works great, easy to build, I did practice on scrape wood for the router part as I have not routed in a while. Thanks for instructions.
I made it and it has been a game changer for me, and feels a lot safer than other methods I've used to get angles. One little tweak to take this to the next level I did was to also router the same grooves/channel on each top piece. It allows for a lot more flexibility.
Matthew, you are ALWAYS so informative and are as good of a teacher as there is! Well done and, for this and all your other videos, THANK YOU! Jim in MN
Matt, I built one of these this past weekend and used it to put a straight edge on a bunch of oak slats from pallets. I have one suggestion for this jig. I used pine as my board for the clamps and noticed that after a few clamps, the board started to crack at the point where the clamps mount and the edge. I switched to a piece of oak 3/4 in blocks, correcting the problem. Thank you for all your great videos and ideas. Sometimes I go into vapor lock trying to come up with ideas, but you spur me along with your great teaching and explanations. Keep um coming.
DUDE.... thank you so freaking much for this. I've been banging my head on the wall trying to find or create just a simple jig to cut acute angles, but also be multi use. Small shop so I don't want 200 tablesaw jigs laying around
I went to your link and bought the clamps. This looks pretty easy to build, but thought I would support the effort you put into this, so I bought the plans. This is a great idea. I have a piece that I want to make a weather station but need to straighten three edges. This looks really versatile.
Thanks I cheered to You on Thanksgiving for continuing to give your ideas and talents with us all/ Yes I'm Canadian we celebrate in Oct Cheers to You & Yours
This is a great jig. I just got done cutting material for a project that this would have made things easier. Well, at least I will have it for next time. Thanks for the video.
Great video bud! I subscribed solely based on your great demeanor. I think you and I would get along just fine. I building that sled. I don't know if you can even call it a "sled" because it's just so simple. More like a super all-in-one beast. The more and more I watch these titanic sled videos, they more they look ridiculous. The MicroJig sled is the next best one besides this one. Peace
@MatthewPeechWoodworking you're my favorite on TH-cam. Your instructions are cleR, concise and you make even intimidating things look approachable. Keep on rockin'!
I came up with something very similar recently because I wanted to taper some legs. I ended up making two sets of adjustable blocks of different thicknesses to accommodate thicker and thinner materials. Of course, if your toggle clamps adjust more than mine do, you may not need more than one set.
I like this jig. It seems like one could use a thicker 3" X 8" block, with longer bolts, & attach clamps to it for securing thicker pieces of lumber. Just switch to the block thickness needed. When i bought the clamps off the jungle store, they were relatively inexpensive, so making the extra blocks should be cost effective considering the overall savings of using this jig vs a jointer, for instance. I think harbor freight sells the clamps now too.
Thanks - I’m making this. Got the clamps and toggles etc. What I can’t understand is why you need that edge strip? Surely having a straight edge on the board is enough?
I love all of your projects,, you certainly have a knack for teaching! thanks for all your tutorials and info,, I would love to see you recreate , what they are calling Maine Garden Hods ,, it is a a very expensive item to buy and looks quite simple to make,, just not sure how you would attached the vinyl coated wire mesh,, they are also referred to East Coast Clam Collecting baskets they sell for $85-$200! I was thinking cedar would be a good wood to use for it light weight and weather resistance
For small projects - could use for making the groove for drawer bottoms, Rabbets. If I make this, I can get rid of half a dozen special purpose tools, like the taper jig,
I didn't spend thousands on my jointer! I have a Rigid floor jointer and it only cost 600 bucks, plus or minus! Great video, though. I'm gonna have to make that jig!
Do you have a plan for a simple set of pet stairs for cats or small dogs - no kennel underneath needed, open sides would be best. Maybe your favorite fence pickets as material.
OMG i freaking LOVE this❤🎉❤ I am an absolute "beginner beginner"(like seriously a first timer lol I've still got to use my easy read tape measure) so anything with the words "miter" or "bevel" kinda scares the crap outta me but I'm thinking if I make this jig I would be able to easily figure out how to get those perfect mitered or beveled edges without the need for a Xanax afterwards LMFAO 😂 jk but the anxiety is real when it comes to angels etc etc😂😂😂😂 so thanks again for another simple way to achieve the look I'm going for in any project❤ you truly are an awesome teacher ❤🍏
Great design and video, Matthew! Simple and effective. By some cosmic coincidence, I recently bought 4 of those clamps with only a vague thought of using them with a sled. I’m curious about advantages or disadvantages of using the miter bar slot instead of the fence. Obvious disadvantage is a few extra steps to make. Advantage seems to be not having to focus on keeping the sled against the fence in use. Thanks as always for what you do here!!!
This is old, I know- and you've probably figured it out by now. But with the slot, you're locked into one specific distance from the blade. Using the fence, you're only limited by the capacity your fence allows, so you can do the edges on much larger (or smaller boards).
I’m wondering if it could be build with a runner and without the 1” piece to accommodate longer boards? It doesn’t seem like it would work for cutting pieces longer than 12” or so, depending on the angle? It’s a really amazing design though! Someone could use it to make a “quilt” out of wood!
This is wonderful..! I mean truly.....a question that I had been rolling around in the back of my mind🤔was, "In the process of 'leveling-up', 🤨🧐🤔which to purchase 1st, the Table Saw or the Miter Saw..!?? For my purposes, I was just unable to come to real decision that I could sleep well with. Now, with JobSite table saw I have picked out, with an outfield table built really feel it's best step forward. 🤓🤠😎
what are the limitations of this vs making a mitre saw sled other than not having run in the mitre tracks? would you be able to use this 100% in place of a sled?
Can’t wait to make it. I picked up the toggle clamps the other day. I’ve never worked with MDF but could that be used instead of plywood? Closest Baltic birch is over and hour away a about $10 in tolls lol.

Great jig mate. I've been putting off the cross-cut sled in my small shop as I needed something a bit more multi-functional, and this hits the mark.
Perfect!
same!
@@MatthewPeechWoodworkingThanks Matthew! This is what i need too!
Thank you, Matty P! I built a jig that is just for tapering, but this one has so many more uses, as you've shown -- especially for cutting acute angles to make stars.
Yea I wanted one that was a all in one jig.
This channel has to be top 3 on all of TH-cam
Wow. Thank you so much.
So many problems solved in one jig. I don’t have a planer, and now don’t need one. Also I was planning to make a jig specifically to cut hexagons but I could use this. Thank you.

Great video. Super simple build that any of us should have thought of, and none of us did.
Thanks 👍

I just received my clamps. Excited to make this. Great tips. Thank you!
Billy Bob Thornton jr. knows his craft! Great idea and making one today.
Lol Thanks!

Thank you!
I made one and it works great. I glued sand paper to the bottom of the blocks for a better grip. Tnx.
Thanks I cheered to You on Thanksgiving for continuing to give your ideas and talents with us all/ Yes I'm Canadian we celebrate in Oct Cheers to You & Yours
Thats a great jig... I made it and u saved my life man...thanks.....
Really nice idea Matt. I’ve seen variations of this on other channels and I really like the utility and simplicity of this.
Thanks!
Just bought my first table saw. I'll be making one this.
Love this Matthew! I am making this ASAP and I know it will make things easier for me on so many projects. Thanks my friend
I know what I am going to be building in my shop this afternoon. That is one very sweet jig.
Right on!
This is a great jig. I just got done cutting material for a project that this would have made things easier.
Well, at least I will have it for next time. Thanks for the video.
What a great functional sled that isn't expensive to make. My next project. Thanks!
Your best in class. Keep up the good work. Big fan of your work.
Thanks! 😃
Very cool and simple.
For me I would add a track guide to help me run the jig straight everytime.
Sounds great
Geat Jig. I made one long ago and use it almost everytime I’m on a project. Thanks for showing us how to make and use it!
You bet!
Great idea Peechy - I’ll be making one of these tomorrow!
Thanks.
Nice!
This is genius!! Thanks
You're welcome!
Been gathering the parts for this project over the last week, can't wait to build it today!
THANK YOU ! What a great jig...I love the simplicity. Keep up the great ideas !!!!
You bet!
Great build Mathew. Love it could really use it
That's genius mate....will build one next week.😊
Hope you enjoy it!
Wicked simple.
Thank you for sharing!!
live this jig, going to make this one, just bought the plans, I like how simple and versatile it is.. my current sled is the weight of a small car :)
This jig is awesome. I’ll be making one soon!
Nice! It’ll come in handy!
Great video bud! I subscribed solely based on your great demeanor. I think you and I would get along just fine. I building that sled.

The MicroJig sled is the next best one besides this one. Peace
I was planning on building one today and you put out a video not even 30 mins ago. Wild!
Perfect timing
@MatthewPeechWoodworking you're my favorite on TH-cam. Your instructions are cleR, concise and you make even intimidating things look approachable. Keep on rockin'!
Thanks for the video your the man that’s going to change the game for me
Thats a great jig....i'm throwing out my cross cut sled for....thanks.....
This is the jig I've been looking for!!
Awesome!
I was trying to work out whether or not you could do some cove cuts with this jig, using the method that approaches the blade from an angle.
Man this is exactly on time - I need it TODAY. Thanks!
Perfect!
Thanks ! Great video
You bet!
I came up with something very similar recently because I wanted to taper some legs. I ended up making two sets of adjustable blocks of different thicknesses to accommodate thicker and thinner materials. Of course, if your toggle clamps adjust more than mine do, you may not need more than one set.
Awesome work. My old jig just broke and the knobs i had on it were nylon lock which sucks..Good deal I'll be making this, this weekend.

Best sled I've seen.
Thank you!
That jig is awesome, I plan on making one, Thanks for sharing!!
Awesome as always! Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure!
8:02 I have a similar one but I need to add those clamps/mechanism to it.
Going to be making this for my woodshop thanks for the idea and plan
No problem 👍
😲Very helpful idea thanks💪
No problem 👍
You did it way better than I did. Bravo.
Dude you da man😅 wow. That jig just became my next project. I love your videos. Keep up the fantastic content and awesome presentation
Like the video. I don’t use a router to often can you use t track for the grooves? Would you have make board thicker?
Thanks - I’m making this. Got the clamps and toggles etc. What I can’t understand is why you need that edge strip? Surely having a straight edge on the board is enough?
Great idea. Going to make one. Thanks
I love all of your projects,, you certainly have a knack for teaching! thanks for all your tutorials and info,, I would love to see you recreate , what they are calling Maine Garden Hods ,, it is a a very expensive item to buy and looks quite simple to make,, just not sure how you would attached the vinyl coated wire mesh,, they are also referred to East Coast Clam Collecting baskets they sell for $85-$200!

Thanks for the suggestion and the support!
Great idea I plan on making one. What is the benefit of the 1 inch fence?
This is fantastic! Thanks!
You're very welcome!
This video is fantastic! Thanks.
You're very welcome!
For small projects - could use for making the groove for drawer bottoms, Rabbets.
If I make this, I can get rid of half a dozen special purpose tools, like the taper jig,
Great Jig 😎👍🏻
Thanks a lot.
Great idea and jig Sir! I know what today's project will be, thank you!👍
Have fun!
I didn't spend thousands on my jointer! I have a Rigid floor jointer and it only cost 600 bucks, plus or minus! Great video, though. I'm gonna have to make that jig!
I'm definitely going to make this !!! Thanks man 😁
Hope you enjoy
Excellent many thanks
👍🏻
Do you have a plan for a simple set of pet stairs for cats or small dogs - no kennel underneath needed, open sides would be best.
Maybe your favorite fence pickets as material.
I only have the one set of per stair plans. Sorry!
Any tips for making the bolt track if I do not have a plunge router?
Love this jig, thanks Matt.
OMG i freaking LOVE this❤🎉❤ I am an absolute "beginner beginner"(like seriously a first timer lol I've still got to use my easy read tape measure) so anything with the words "miter" or "bevel" kinda scares the crap outta me but I'm thinking if I make this jig I would be able to easily figure out how to get those perfect mitered or beveled edges without the need for a Xanax afterwards LMFAO 😂 jk but the anxiety is real when it comes to angels etc etc😂😂😂😂 so thanks again for another simple way to achieve the look I'm going for in any project❤ you truly are an awesome teacher ❤🍏

Good idea Matthew.....I made a similar jig using the match fit clamps.....works AWESOME, and I use it ALL the time
Great idea. I’m gonna make one.
Thanks!
A great idea, presented well.
The thin strips because of kickback is an amazing idea
I’m wondering if it could be build with a runner and without the 1” piece to accommodate longer boards? It doesn’t seem like it would work for cutting pieces longer than 12” or so, depending on the angle? It’s a really amazing design though! Someone could use it to make a “quilt” out of wood!
Nice job Matt
Thanks!
That's a great idea, Matthew.
Thanks!
Very cool , Making one.
Nice jig! Thanks!!
You bet!
Thanks for this video, now please make one jig for a mitersaw😉
Thanks again Matthew!!
My pleasure!
Awesome video will be making one this week? Thanks brother
You bet

I am also looking for what would be a good wood to use
Nice job, clever.
Like always great stuff
I appreciate that
Can I use MDF as the base for the sled?
Thanks
Awesome as always!
Thank you!
Outstanding👍
Where or how can I buy that jig I’ve tried to make one but it’s difficult thank you hope you can get back to me soon William
Great Sled and jigs along with some cracking ideas. Can you use Melamine as the board?
