How To Make A Cross-Cut Sled// Table Saw Sled

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.ย. 2024
- In this video, I will be showing how I made a cross-cut sled for my table saw. I was having difficulties cutting different sizes of wood but with this sled it's more safer to make small and accurate cuts. With my DIY stop block, I can make repeatable precise cuts. This cross cut sled also has a hood that will prevent wood chips and dust from flying off the blade.

Thanks for the very thorough video without all the commentary and fluff.
Well Done! It would be cool if you took the acrylic through to the end, above the safety block; so, you could always see the blade.
Thank you! I'll keep that in mind for a future upgrade.
I have gone through tons of videos on sleds, this is the one I want to build. Excellent build. One exception that I will have to put the measuring tape on the oppisite side for us Americans who never cought on to the metric system.
I appreciate your comment! I'm glad to hear that you found the sled-build video helpful. It's great that you feel motivated to construct your sled. Please don't hesitate to make any adjustments you deem necessary to suit your specific needs. Best of luck with your build!
That's an amazing sled. You went to a lot of work to draw up the free plans and to post all the links to the parts too. I've seen a lot of sled plans on TH-cam but I've never seen any that are that complete! Thanks a bunch for all your hard work!
Thank you Fred for your comment for stopping by! I appreciate it.
The acrylic shield is a wonderful idea I have never seen before.
By far the best sled I've ever seen being built. I love your attention to detail and the beauty and practicality of the sled itself. Thank you for taking the time to build such an excellent piece for all to see.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I genuinely appreciate your appreciation for the sled. I'm glad that you liked it. Thank you again for your encouragement!
Love your work
Thank you, @Mars-bm4yt! I appreciate it.
Nice job sir. I will build this sled. You rock man!
Thank you! I'm pleased that you liked it.
Very nicely done! I just received my new table saw and this is the first thing I’m making for it. I would say this is one of the nicer one I’ve see with some extra convenient touches. Thanks for sharing this!
Thank you! Congratulations on your new table saw. I'm delighted to hear that you found the project helpful!
Well done my friend, well done!
Thank you!
Thanks for the video

Thank you for your comment. I appreciate it. I'm glad you found the video helpful.
WOW! What a great video. And way to give William Ng credit for the "5 cut method"!!!! So many other YT I've watched get 1000s of view for their videos but don't give him credit or reference back to his original video! You have some really nice adds to your sled and have added to my ideas list for building mine. Thanks!!!
Thank you! I appreciate your positive feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found value in the additions to the sled. William Ng's "5 cut method" is indeed a fantastic technique, and I'm pleased to give credit where it's due.
so beautiful
I've watched alot of cross cut sled videos and you're might be the best one I've seen. Well done.
Thank you, @biginufm4264, for your comment. I'm glad you liked it.
That's one fine sled there my friend. I love the plex glass to keep wild saw dust from hitting you in the face. I liked it so much I'm going to copy it for my own. Liked and subscribed

Thank you, Sailor5116! I am glad you like it. I appreciate it.
I love the sled design. You mention in the video you have a free set of plans in the links. I check the links and $5.00 for the plans is not free! I don't care about the $5.00, however you may want to edit out that line in your video.
Thank you for your comment and for pointing that out. I appreciate it.
Kerja yg sangat bagus dan hasilnya bagus👍👍👍
Nicely done video. thanks
marvelous work! Very precisely and meticulously done 👋👋👋

Beautiful job .Really nice video sir.
Thank you, I appreciate the compliment!
Great video, perfect idea on the plexi piece, I'm going to borrow that idea and also have it be double duty with an acrylic tube glued in to attach a dust collection hose. Thank you for sharing your work!
Thank you, Travis Radke, for your lovely comment. I'm grateful.
Beautiful work!
Thank you 69kaveman!
I really like your work. It looks so nice and clean. I am trying to make my plexiglass shield like yours. It was the easiest video to follow. Thank you.
Thank you! I'm glad it was helpful.
Beautiful work you are a real craftsman... Regarding the plans, is there more than just the parts list I see on the website? How many pages of build instructions please... thanks.
Thank you for your comment. The total number of pages is eight, and the plan contains the measurement for all the parts that make up the sled.
Very well done video, clear instructions, awesome jig. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Carlos!

Nice work!
Thank you!
That’s a great sled and video! Question about the safety shield. While I can see how it has some safety advantages, are you concerned that a hand could somehow get pulled under it and trapped? This would obviously be an unusual scenario but those are the things to watch out for.
Thank you for your comment. Your question is valid. It is possible that a hand could get trapped; however, the hood is meant to act as a boundary to prevent your hand from going too close to the blade. Also, the clamps are there to keep the work piece secure and your hands away from the hood's edge.
A nit pick. If you did your 5 cut tweaking before you attached the aluminum fence, your kerf would be perfect. Picky tho that may be. Really nice sled.
Thank you!
Nice video. But the multi-track is a no go with Sawstop. You also failed to add a chamfer to the base of the rear fence to keep sawdust from accumulating.
Thank you, Charles Cook, for your comment. You are right; the multi-track is a no go with Sawstop. However, it was designed for my Rigid table saw and can be configured to be used on any other table saw, including Sawstop. All you need to do is to remove the aluminum multi-track, and you are good to go. As for the chamfer, there was no safer way to add a chamfer on the multi-track at the time of the video. Moreover, that has not been an issue for me, but I should have mentioned that. Thank you for your observations.
That's a fantastic sled. Can you please tell me the function of the "Acrylic hood" though. I assume it's for safety but is it to stop touching the blade or to stop offcut bits flying up? Well done. A professionally presented video. Regards Mal
Thank you, malcolmsplace, for your comment and for stopping by; I appreciate it! You guessed right. I added the Acrylic hood, so I don't accidentally touch the blade. Also, to prevent dust and wood particles from flying to my face.
Beautiful 🤩 very fine job 👍👍 (please drop the annoying music 😅)
❤❤❤
👍
What is the tape you used ? Great video!!!
Thank you! I use a metal self-adhesive measuring tape. You can find it in the video description.
Hi, amazing job, could you able provide the dimensions of table saw sled? I have Dewald DWE 7492
Thank you for your comment! You can find the link to the plan in the video description.
Nice work brother...Where'd you get that blue square?
Thank you Michael! I bought the blue square from "The Home Depot".
I really want to make this sled but I am lost looking at all those metric measurements. Any chance you have plans in standard measurements? I would really want to do this sled in a18" x 16" size - that will work better for me as I have a smaller jobsite saw. Do you think it is convertible to that size?
Thank you Cbyutube for your comment! I have converted the sled from metric to standard measurements and the link will be at the bottom of this comment. If you want the size to be 18'' x 16'' that’s fine, however, I will recommend making it slightly bigger. My table saw is a small job-site saw too. If you have any question, please feel free to email me at Vuleco12@gmail.com

What’s the advantage of this over using a mitre saw? Aside from doing dado cuts?
OK....serious question. I have seen about a dozen sled-building videos provided by various sources and exhibiting various mods and hacks to the
basic design. In your opinion....how much can a person introduce to the basic design before a.) the basic design is compromised or b.) the mods or hacks begin to interfere with or limit each others' performance. Thoughts?
Modifying and introducing changes to a basic design can be creative and exciting. Still, it's essential to be mindful of certain factors to ensure effective and safe modifications. Here are some thoughts on your concerns:
a.) Compromising the basic design: The extent to which you can modify a basic sled design without compromising its fundamental integrity depends on several factors, including the original design's stability, structural integrity, and intended use. If the modifications are well-thought-out and executed with consideration for the sled's intended purpose, it is possible to introduce changes without compromising its basic functionality. However, if the modifications weaken essential structural elements or alter its stability, the sled's performance and safety could be compromised.
b.) Interference or limiting performance: When introducing multiple modifications or hacks, it's essential to consider how they interact. Some changes work harmoniously together, while others might interfere and negatively impact performance. For example, adding features that increase speed might sacrifice maneuverability or vice versa. The key is to carefully analyze each modification's impact and assess whether they collectively align with the sled's overall purpose. This is also applicable to other designs.
@@VULECODIY Excellent Thoughts. Thanks so much.
You should sell that!!!
Hi. What is the brand of your table saw? Regards

Che tipo di legno usi
Hi Vuleco, very nice video, thanks. I just finished my sled and one guy suggested that I add a plexiglass hood. I could not figure out how to do it without interfering with my stop block, but now I know - I just need to add a track on the front fence as well and make it removeable for when I need to get close to the blade with the stop block.
One suggestion for your sled (if you can still change it) is to add replaceable inserts at the bottom to act like zero clearance inserts. You can then easily replace them when they get worn out.
And maybe a removeable extension for when you cut long stock.
Have a look at my video for what I did for those 2. And check out my all wooden flip-up stop.

Thank you JC Woodworx for your comment and suggestions, I'll put that into consideration. by the way your table saw sled looks so cool, nice job on that. Thank you again for the suggestions, I really appreciate it.
