    You help solidify my ideas on getting the 8 1/4 saw vs holding out for the 10". The depth cut is roundabout 1" difference but for what I want to do that doesn't matter as much so thanks for giving the insight in your build to help me make my decision.

      That’s very kind of you to say, if you are cutting deep pieces of wood then make the fence deeper, if you watch my second video you will see what I mean. In this other video you will see I made a taller new fence and moved the track. 👍🏼

    I’ve had that old-style Workmate for many years, but haven’t used it as much as I could have. That simple router table is a great way to use it, and make it portable. Thinking I’ll do that as well, and can also mount a small belt/disk sander, small downdraft sanding table, scroll saw, small 1” belt sander, variable speed bench grinder for chisels…. thanks for the inspiration!

  • @godyvdb
    @godyvdb 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    In the end Terry found out he couldn’t use the back t-track unless he chiseled out an entry way. He nicely snuck that into the last shot 😁.
    But all jokes aside: nice build Terry 👍🏻. Thanks for sharing.

    • @Terrythemaker

    Love the build! Thanks a ton for sharing your process. One tip that I just picked up myself not long ago here on TH-cam was to use the round side of the router base instead of the flat. Helped me keep true and prevented me from getting kick out or wandering from the fence. (Not a criticism, just sharing what trick this old dog actually learned, lol)
    Thanks again!

    I also used to use hard wood for runners .I now use 3/8 thick lexan or plexiglass. Cut like a hard wood with out the humidity problems.
    To reduce the surface the underside surface area ,to make the slide slide easier, I made a grid up to accommodate a 2 inch foster bit with a 1/2 to 3/4 space between outside edges of hole. I than drilled using a 2 inch foster bit ,1/16 deep.

    • @Terrythemaker

    I know I'm VERY LATE but I am very impressed with both your bench and sled. I like the different steps and techniques you used to make this sled. I purchased a Dewalt DEW7485 (8 1/4) just like yours and was looking at different methods for making a great sled. I think yours is by far the best I've seen. We seem to share a lot of the same power tools as well. I will use your sled as my inspiration for mine. Big thank you for your video! I hope I can find the same type of materials at Lowe's or Home Depot. Other than Ace those are my only options except for online but I like to SEE them before buying. I'm particularly interested in the aluminum(?) rails and what size bit you used in your router (flute bit for the grooves) but I'm sure I can find out. Very, very helpful!

    • @Terrythemaker
      @Terrythemaker  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Hi, thank you so much for watching and thank you so much for taking the time to comment, it’s very kind of you. I have since made a new back fence for the cross cut sled because I found the aluminium T track was too low, it was fine for a lot of the work I was doing, but if I wanted to cut anything that was taller the T track was too low. I’ve since done a new video on the new build, which is worth watching 👍🏼

    Nice build, but the upper C track got 2 problems as i see...
    1. You can easily cut into it, if you cut a thicker material
    2. If you glued it to the fence, you can't insert (or change) screws to it...

    • @Terrythemaker
      @Terrythemaker  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Hi, you are absolutely right about cutting into the t track, I only realised this afterwards. But I normally put a piece of wood in between the fence and the blade to stop this. This has to be a piece that I know is completely square otherwise it I won’t get true 90 degrees cut. You are also correct about not leaving a gap to make changes. But it’s my first attempt and I may make another. Thanks for the comments 😊

    I've noticed I will have a perfect glide after attaching the base to the guides just with adhesive or tape but after driving screws it glides poorly and feels as if it is too tight just like what happened in your video. I think it is just simply when manually driving screws in the ever so slight angle they are driven in at slightly pulls the guides in that direction and causes the guides to rub in the slots. Maybe a drill press would alleviate that issue but I just do the same thing you do and sand them down a bit and slap on some wax. Nice build!

  • @matthewhall9692
    @matthewhall9692 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I would really be interested in your method for the workbench your table saw sits in. I have the exact same table saw and I really struggle cutting plywood and bigger pieces on it. I have started to come up with work bench solutions but never committed as I wanted to see solutions others have come up with and what you have set up is AMAZING! That is EXACTLY what I would love mine to look like.

    • @Terrythemaker
      @Terrythemaker  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for your comments Matthew, I’m afraid I don’t really have any plans or methods on the bench, I just built the bench as I went along, the cut out for the Dewalt DWE7485 was the hardest part. But I measured the saw top at the narrowest part then dropped the saw into the gap and drew around the table side wings and cut it out by hand, very slowly I must add. It’s an easy build and very enjoyable. Thanks for watching 👍🏼

    Great build! I tried to do something similar for the exact same model, but I can't get the runners to slide. I tried them out before gluing them to the top of the sled and they where running just fine, but when I put them together with the top it gets completely stuck midway through. I've tried to sand the edges of both the runners and the t-tracks but it still behaves the same way. I've used 6mm plywood for the runners

    • @Terrythemaker
      @Terrythemaker  ปีที่แล้ว

      Difficult to say why that’s happening, I used beech for my runners, have they moved out of line when you stuck them down ? They would only need to have moved a tiny bit to he out, it’s just a though👍🏼

  • @reddlief
    @reddlief 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Exactly what I'm looking for and it's a beautiful build. After some months of use, do you find the rear stop block t-track to be a bit low? What is the maximum thickness you cross cut on this sled? That might be the why for t-track placement?

    @jed2055 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    T-slot on the base yes.T-slot on the back plane. . . no. Could easily run the blade right into it. Maybe that's why most back planes use bolt holes and empty slots to secure jobs. They cannot be sawn thru!
    For every mm of base plate that's one less millimetre of height taken from the max height cut. I just watched a more recent build and the jig is way thinner with no front plate. Watching that video I realised that sled is an innovation.

    I just bought the same table saw today and was looking for builds specifically for it. This is a really nice sled. May I ask what thickness plywood you used for the base of the sled? In my head I keep thinking that 3/4" might be too thick for the smaller blade size, so I was thinking of using 1/2" plywood. But maybe that's not an issue at all. I also love your work table around the saw. I'm going to try to do something similar.

      Hi Heather, sorry for the late reply, I used 18 mm ply from memory, it is actually the cut out from the bench. It’s actually easier to do than it looks. I made a cutout in my bench, I cut this at the narrowest part of the saw table, if that makes sense. I then dropped the saw into the cut out and drew round the wings of the tabletop. I then lifted the saw out and cut out the wings using a coping saw and then sanded, enjoy the new saw, it’s an excellent piece of kit 😊

      Hi Linda, I’m afraid not, I tend to make my builds as I go along, I have a rough idea in mind and go with it. It doesn’t always work 😂 it worked ok on this, but I then regretted the T-track being to loo for some cuts, so I later rebuilt the fence which you can see in my other video.

      Hi Andrew, I’m afraid I don’t, I wish i did, I’ve been asked a few times. It’s not actually a side piece it’s all one big bench and I cut out a slot and dropped the saw into it. 😊

    Did you make those runners or buy them? I'm about to make a sled for my DWE7485 (You have it as DWE6485 in the description but I think you mean 7) and that's my vexation. And the length - does it matter? I have too many options!

    • @Terrythemaker
      @Terrythemaker  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Michael, yes your right I do have the DWE7485. The runners I made from scrap hardwood, beech I think. As for the length it depends if you have your saw bench mounted? If not I would make them the full length of the sled. If your set up like mine then you can’t have them the full length because the table behind will stop them. I plan to router out two groves in my benches so I can extend my runners and let the runners run all the way into the grove’s. I hope that makes sense, Terry 👍🏼

      Hi, I’m afraid not, my benches are currently in storage so I have no way of checking, but I can tell you it’s approximately the size of the saw table itself, it’s basically the piece that I cut out of the bench that I used for the sled, I hope that makes sense 👍🏼

    Being a former CNC set-up operator, it always pains me to see someone slam a caliper shut on the piece they’re measuring like he did. Great way to throw off the accuracy of your measurements. Not to mention it’s a great way to throw off your caliper’s calibration and jaws over time. You’re supposed to close the jaws on the piece gently, using the little wheel on the readout body.
