    I built this 6 months ago. Dude, you are amazing! I use it all the time. I would never go back to not having a sled. The modular design allows me to make all sorts of custom jigs for my work. Using your sled has made my shop a ton of cash. Best $15 I spent in my shop. Thanks a ton man. I appreciate it.

      @@NickFerry Love it man! I made a smaller version of the same thing for ease of use. Its a monster of a sled when ya just need to cut small parts. Its holding up well, cuts true and has made my table saw the most used tool in my shop. The only thing I would change is making it out of half inch rather than 3/4. Its a bit heavy. Use the 3/4 for the front and rear fence and half inch for the base and miter/spline addition.

    I have been watching table saw sled videos all night for the past 4 1/2- 5 hours. And by far this is the best one I have ever seen. I will be making one just like this, your explanation of the five cut method is spot-on. In my playlists I have a category called "shop talk" and I was going to put only what I felt was the best sled I could find into that category and yours is it. The Wood Whisper's sled was a very close 2nd, but all the fine details and removable miteres did it for me. Great job and keep up the awesome work.

    Great video. Great sled. Ferry commented at the end that he oversized the sled to provide for building shop cabinets. I took a completely different approach. After building two shops and all the cabinetry in them I got tired of that. For my third shop I went to a nearby Habitat for Humanity Restore and found a whole suite of floor and wall-mounted medical cabinets including one four-foot wide, six-drawer unit. They were way cheap, well-built and strong. All I added were new bases for the floor units to bring them up to the height I wanted and new, solid wood tops which I attached to two or more cabinets to gain as much as a ten-foot X 32" or 36" working surface. I don't have a sled, but not for long. Thank you Nick Ferry.

    I built one of these but I simply aligned the 3/4 board of my sled with my rip fence when gluing it to the miter slot runners. By doing so, I ended up only 2 thousandths of an inch difference in a 20-inch board using the 5 cut method.
    That is the precision of a SawStop table saw for ya!

      +awesome - I set my fence out in the back slightly

    I too have been wanting /needing a better sled. In 25years I've only made them hastily and out of necessity, with intentions of future upgrade. Thanks for properly inspiring me . I'll soon have a Nick Ferry Super Deluxe Ultra Max + Premium model , with miter upgrade.👍 Great job on video too.

    I've been looking all over for videos about making a sled with the Kreg Top Trak (mine is on the way) I also had an idea to put in a t-trak. This is the best video showing the Kreg system on a sled. Also, the math with the 5-way cut test is awesome, what once was fuzzy is now clear. Great job Nick, very helpful.

It paid off greatly to be friends with my instructor cause..that sled was something only him and I worked on!!! That was 30 yrs ago... First time since then I`ve seen it explained in such detail!!! Great vid. man! I`ve subbed and am excited to see more of your work!!!

    Yes please, I would like to see a series on sleds and how to build them. In particular, aluminum extension framing for 3D printers isn't very expensive and I would love to see an inexpensive but really like cross-cut sled made out of thinner plywood and aluminum to minimize the weight and maximize functionality.
