Awesome, I may have to try this. With my sled I am limited in the width of the stock I can cut up into segments, your solution solves this problem. I really like how this sled concept is evolving.
+frank howarth
Hmm, I hadn't thought about the stock width advantage. Thanks!
As I was watching this video, I was thinking, this would be very helpful to Frank H. I wonder if Frank has seen this. Question answered

Has stock tear out at the back of the sled been a problem? Or does holding another scrap piece behind it prevent it?
I like that the fences are also zero clearance with the blade.
Er hat deine Idee nur umgeändert 😀
So nice to see an idea being used the other way around like this!
+Wintergatan
Thanks!
Great alternative, Jeremy! I was just looking at making one and now I have some options
The one made with the CNC Router was gorgeous! Great video overall!
Wow, Jeremy, you’re quite the machinist. It was a pleasure watching you give meticulous detail to this project. Bobby 🤗
Brilliant! So obvious, yet you're the first to my knowledge to build a better mousetrap. I was going to build the more traditional designed sled next week when I came across your video. Of course, you need to have a CNC to make this easy, and fortunately I do! Thanks for the great video. Keep em coming.
Thanks Jer.
That is an awesome sled.
I love the way you figure it out, and then can explain it in a way I can understand that makes perfect sense.
You are a Scientist/an Artist/ and a gifted teacher all in one package. Thank you for setting the Standard so high.
I have to agree 100%. I have been teaching woodworking in high school for 25 years and I'm always looking for great lessons. You put this together in a perfect way. Easy to understand. Concise. Loved it! I will be a subscriber for sure.
You are a genius. I like watching all your videos.
You're doing a lot of thinking. Also really enjoyed the reverse of what happens usually when something is shown done with a CNC - priceless! Thanks.
BRAVO Jeremy. Through no fault of the original inventer of the wedgie sled he, like so many other inventers, are so in tuned into what they are creating that at times they can't see the more simpler way of going about it. Then young minds like yourself come along and see the easier way right off the bat of accomplishing the same task without all the added or needed complexities. What you have just shown here seems not only workable but also very practical but as you said not being one who has spent many hours of working with this type of woodwork project you might be missing something, BUT, I don't think so. Good work Jeremy and your presentation was also very well done. I really enjoy watching you at work. Keep it up.
Great idea with the cnc. I made a sled based on the original plans and created wedges out of acrylic using a laser engraver. I really like your idea of using the wedge as the fence, because it also means that the front and back edge are always equally aligned to the edge, unlike the original plan.
You young man are a credit to your trade you have a very well lit up workshop and your jigs superb A am a very old carpenter but i love the way you explain things so simply The best of Irish luck to you and keep the videos coming
I always enjoy your videos--very well thought out, filmed and explained.
+The Warped Board
Thank you!
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!! Some of the earlier comments are great.
The simpler sled is also more flexible and adaptable - with some added design features, it could become the only sled you will need!!.
Sharp as tack, as always. Boy genius. Wish I had that head of yours.
Another great idea! Incidentally, I hadn't seen a router used to make the cutout for the bolt head. I'll have to try that. Thanks for all you do.
Thanks Jeremy! A very nice project. Maybe the main lesson to learn is that many projects require a trial and error approach.
Thank you very much for the clear explanation. Now I do not need to buy wedgies and can make them myself . You have always excellent ideas . You are always honest and are not aiming to sell any thing🌹
Nice! I want to try a segmented bowl soon and I think I'll need to implement this. Thanks!
+GarageWoodworks
Thanks, and good luck!
I don't even turn and I think I agree with you about this being simpler to use.
Excellent thinking! Of course you get caught in the 'Catch 22' of having to cut a very precise pattern in order to be able to cut very precise pieces. At least you only have to do it once (not counting the six tries lol!) The advantage to the two fence system is that you can go to the nearest art supply store and buy 45 and 30/60 triangles to use for set ups. As Frank H. commented, this system does have the advantage of not restricting the width of the stiock (within reason).
Thanks for the video! Keep making sawdust!
Excellent video, a must build for the shop. keep the videos coming.
Very well explained and not to much talking! Well done!
+Max Maker
Thanks!
Excellent description and explanation! I also like the improvement you mentioned. Kudos!
+Sean Flanagan
Thanks!
Just found you from a link @JaysCustonCreations Looking forward to many more of your videos. Great job explaining what you are doing and why.
Seems like a very good solution for making segmented clock faces. Thanks for the insight.
You have a bright future ahead. Great thinking.
Great video and process. Thank you for sharing
GREAT jig Jeremy. Very well thought out and multi purpose, which is ALWAYS a good thing.
+Sebastopolmark
Thanks!
I was just about the tackle a wedge sled. Perfect timing! I like it.
+Dustin Penner
Awesome! Thanks!
I wood like to still see your take on it.
Of all the variations op0f the wedgy sled design I have seen, his one, by far, is the one I like most. I will probably end up redoing my segmenting sled after the current projects I am working on to help make mine much more accurate. Currently, I have to do things with the half ring method of gluing half the ring together, sand the joints between the 2 ring halves and then glue the whole ring together. Thanks for sharing such useful info!
+AnkleBiter Woodworks
Thanks!
I used to use the half ring method (that's how I made the bowl seen at the first of this video), but I always had to do it by hand because I didn't have any other way of straightening the mating faces... Thus this idea was born.
Cool beans!
very clever. Hard to improve on something that works well already and is very simple. Nice job.
Jeremy, I’ve missed your videos. I hope you’re well and prosperous. I look forward to seeing more of your work soon. Thank you.
Very nice. I love reinventing the wheel to be simpler.
Awesome explanation. I didn't get it when Frank Howarth did it with the split fences.
Everybody in the WW community is: Do this like this, and like that.
Jeremy: Screw that, I'll do it my way.
And it turns out awesome. Great job!
+Ovidiu-Florin BOGDAN
Yeah, that is exactly my attitude! Thank you!
Hmm, could you give me an example of one person that is "do it like this and like that"? Because I can't think of anyone and you even claim it is everyone.
you're right. It's called exageration. Humans do this all the time. See, I just did it.

Beauty in simplicity- the CNC'd wedges look like something you'd buy from a shop- I suppose if they were mass produced they might be made from plastic or aluminium, but functionally identical. Kudos for such a good design.
+SuicideNeil
Thanks! I think a solid surface material like plastic or aluminum would probably be better anyway, as it would be more stable than wood. That said, this plywood is very stable.
Nice work Jer.
Always incredible to watch your genius mind at work.....so fascinating and inspirational!
+Jon B
Thank you!
Thank you very much...this is a great thing to have..!!!!! Thank you for explaining everything in detail.. Looking forward to more great projects from you.
Keep up the good work.

Köszi,már rég keresek valami ilyen megoldást :D
excellent video! glad I found your channel!
I keep seeing comments about tear out on the closest side of the wedge cuts. I'm thinking that an additional T-track on the left side of the sled (as you're looking down on it) with a sacrificial board bolted to it behind the wood being cut using the T-tracks would solve that problem. I plan on building this sled this week. If I find tear out to be an issue, I'll try the fix. Either way, this is an awesome idea, thanks for getting it out there!!!
Well done Jeremy! Great post!
Good job Jer, I like it.
I think you have nailed on this one, possibly the best one I've seen than any other.
+Kreative Blog
Thanks!
Gracias por este vídeo. From Spain thanks so much
Dude you've got some really rock solid designs and I like the your thoughts on stuff like push blocks on the table saw. Keep up the good work!
+SasquaPlatypus
Thanks!
Like your stuff, great insight.
amazing. love it. new weekend project. thanks for sharing.
Neat! I bought several of the "wedgies" to set the segment angles. I can use them instead of cutting ones like you did. I think this is a brilliant design change.
+Mark Hazlewood
I'm not familiar with wedgies you can buy. Where did you get them?
Jeremy, I bought them from the SegEasy web site. The link to the sets and individual wedgies is: www.segeasy.com/toystore2.htm. They are made of a high density polyurethane and quite durable.
+Mark Hazlewood
Oh ok. Those look to me like they should work fine, maybe even better than my wooden wedges.
At the risk of sounding like a nerd... math is the way to go for setting out the accurate angles (as opposed to protractor tools) for exacting projects like segmented bowls etc.
I really like your presentations. Many thanx.
Yeah, math is probably the best way to set up the angle of the wedges...
Great video. Might have to rebuild my sled now.
You also blew my mind with having the two heads on the combination square at once. Not sure if I'd ever need it, but that trick is getting stored.
+JWR Woodworks
Thanks!
I've gotten a ton of use out of that protractor head and I've only had it a few weeks. I definitely recommend that attachment!
great contribution
Would you consider sharing the CNC file? Awesome work, man.
Very nice design and build video. Thanks
Looks like it works well. I think that really the only downside to the method is that the two sides must be parallel as you mentioned.
Why is that a downside? If you need the jig you probably have a table saw.
Fantastic improvements. Great explanations.
+Greg's Garage
Thank you!
Just found your channel . Excellent, very useful .
Esse jig é muito simples de fazer e os resultados são excelentes.
Great points made in your video, going to hit subscribe.
How simple, why didn't I think of that???? Well done, that's for me.
nice work, and so usefull. thank you.
great no BS instructional, wld like to see more!
Why didn't I discover your channel earlier? Amazing job, thanks a lot!
I am definitely going to try this. awesome, thanks
The reason the others have two fences compared to your one is in segmented work you can alter the fence angle of the two fences still using the wedge but the effect you get is a spiral rather than each angle pointing towards the center of the ring. You cant get the spiral effect with your setup, But still a good alternative. :-)
Great work
This is a much better solution if you have a zero clearance base plate. Single guide rail reference is just much easier to set up and be consistent with.
This is really good!
Brazil watching - good job
Very well presented!
Great build 👍
Usually there is some room for improvement and you have done that!
Wow that is amazing idea. I'm goig to make one for myself. Thank you for sharing
Awesome, thanks for sharing.
Great video. Top sled idea.
Jeremy, get with it, looking for the next video.
Nice work man
Great Sled, Jeremy. I also liked that CNC touch you threw in.:)
+CrazyRussianWoodShop
Thanks!
i love all your video,very well explain,smart man.
Using the wedgie as the fence is just brilliant. Plus solving the problem of stock width restriction. The answer was right there in our hands and no one saw it until now. Will some enterprising CNC owner please make the wedgies from a durable material for sale in a number of angles.
+Gil Grace
Thanks!
I would love it if a CNC owner would start making these! My CNC just isn't quite good enough...
Excellent! You should sell these.
another great video
Hi Jeremy
Your comment about mitre gauge accuracy I would challenge. As the old adage states you get what you pay for and if you buy a low cost mitre gauge it will more than likely not be accurate but if you buy one from INCRA out of Dallas you can get an accurate one for reasonable money and for a little more you can get even more accuracy. That is why they sell one hell of a load of them.
Your wedgie sled has some benefits and I shall make one because my saw table does not have a standard mitre slot 3/4" by 3/8", but that is because in Europe folks like Festool set their own standards.
Cheers
+Bawdsey64
You're right, a better miter gauge would be a different story. I have three of the style I showed and they are all junk, but they are all cheap ones.
However, I am quite sure there is no miter gauge accurate enough to make a perfect 12-segment ring. As I said in the video, a half thousandth angle on the fence is unacceptable.
very good job!!
Super interesting and informative
Great video as usual, Jeremy, I love how you explain things. Now, about that bowl at the beginning... Are we going to see a video on that? I like the design.
+Johnny West
Thanks!
I made that bowl quite a while ago, and I posted about it on my Instagram at the time. So you can go dig through my Instagram archives and see a little more about it.
Good job my friend!! I liked! Very cool!
Nice job. I think to reverse the bolts you could sink large all thread nuts in the base then cut them flush with the top Then you could use the bolts to hold it down
Hey Jer, nice video. Thanks :D
Really cool!
Wonderful!
Nice and safe sled. Thanks for sharing your idea. Regards
Genius. I wouldn't be surprised if you could sell these... I'm not a turner, but even the 45° segment wedge might be worth some coin to me!
+Jeremy McMahan
Well, I showed you how to make it! ;-)
Yes, yes you did. And a very good description too. :-)
awesome video thanks for sharing
I just ordered a wedgie from the originator. And I was thinking of just attaching it to my sled. I thought I was on to something so I came to UA-cam to see if someone beat me to it. Yup. Good job
This is how I built mine.
Waiting for the day I would find out “the hard way” why it isn’t done like this. The day never came!
Thanks for the affirmation!
