How to build your own table saw sled using MicroJig's 360 Sled kit and their Matchfit Dovetail Clamp Pro set. If you have the clamp set then you could just use MicroJig's ZeroPlay Miter bar pack.
In this video I show you how I made the best Table saw sled ever.

Thank you so much for turning the saw volume down. I wish all channels did that. Keep making matchfit clamp videos. Like different jigs or even a portable small work table using them.
It’s worth watching this video just to learn how to open those boxes!
I'd forgotten about unboxing those router bits! It wasn't just you.
Ive watched this (and others) a couple times and l keep coming back to the same conclusion. The method is backwards. Cut the board over sized, mount the bar, cut to final width (zero clearance), and then cut the slots. You eliminate all the measuring and wont interfere with an existing slot pattern.
Definitely. I've watched enough of these now that it's much better to mount the runners first and then go from there.
I just got those bits and I would have never guessed to twist the box. :)
You know I have some melamine and always wondered if there would be to much tearout for the micojig clamps. Thanks tor answering that question for me.
Great video! I'm about to publish a video on making the MJ 360 sled. When I searched for videos on the topic before, very little came up apart from MJ's vid's. They're very fast and brief. Today I discovered yours! You present some great additional ideas. I'll not pirate that. I will mention your video and provide a link to it. Thanks!
You can "pirate" what ever you want:)
@@thatwoodwork883 I'll send them to your video. Thanks!
Great video. If using power tools, like the CNC is cheating, then only the Amish are true woodworkers. Use whatever tool meets the need.
The incra sled is an oversized board design that extends to the right of the sled and you cut it to the exact size for your table to prevent tearout. The right hand piece then could be held in place by the micro jig slide that is locked in place. I like your dovetail clamp sliding table features but believe your design could be enhanced with the above modifications to incorporate the best of both designs.
Great build I see a great addition to my shop in this! Thanks for sharing!!
Looking around your shop in the background, you need some better dust collection and/or air filtration. Everything is covered in a layer of dust. EVERYTHING. It's not a stretch to say that some of that is making it into your lungs.
While the dovetail system does allow you to have a fence that can be in any position, having a fixed fence that you know is 90 degrees to the blade without needing to align a moveable fence all the time would be a huge time saver, not to mention the repeatable accuracy.
Glad I'm not the only one who took too much time trying to open that damn router bit box lol
If any of you guys with CNC routers feel like you are cheating, please pack it up and send it to me for proper disposal.
Nice job. How is the melamine holding up under pressure from clamp use in the dovetails? I used 3/4 melamine to make a router tabletop but reinforced that with 3/4 ply underneath to ensure it stays flat and had more depth for t-track screws. It’s worked really well so far. It seems like the particleboard under the laminate would be weaker than plywood.
Really nice job on the video. I love these dovetail clamps and am planning to make a tabletop with dovetails so I can use that as a portable bench for assembly and glue ups.
It has actually bowed just slightly over time. But if I just push down a little harder while I use it and it works just fine.
@@vonnybob great, thanks for sharing your experience. Looking forward to more videos!
I find it curious you completely ignored the zero clearance cut line. First crosscut sled concept ever with no reference to the cut line.
Yeah, I'd certainly have moved the guide bar further from the blade to the next row of clear space and trimmed the edge of the sled to have zero clearance rather than have a big unsupported edge.
@@petestaehling Fully agree. To reference his fence of the dovetail slots instead of a cut edge is bad workmanship leading to inaccuracies.
hello friend, Great project, what distance did you use between rule for plowing the grooves.
I am not exactly sure what you are asking. Are you asking the distance between the dovetail groves or something else?
In the pdf provided by the microjig determines a distance of 4 inches, I asked if you changed this distance between the groves and also the edges. Thanks
@@woodworkingspace7342 Yeah I did change it to about 2". I personally don't think it matters. If I did it again I would probably do it 3-4 inches.
@@thatwoodwork883 Ok, I also find these distance changes interesting, I think that changing this is more proportional to the total size of the crosscut sled base or a drill press table for example. Thank you friend, good projects.
Do you happen to have a V-Carve file for this sled? I have a Laguna IQ and would like to use that as opposed to the table saw/router table.
Here is the file I created. Let me know if it won't let you download It: drive.google.com/file/d/1QSb-Yd3SQbVR844KwlKRUYLJmkpC7_8u/view?usp=sharing
@@thatwoodwork883 Thanks very much. It did let me download. I opened it and it opened V-Carve Pro too. I can now modify as necessary.
Couple questions ...... Each line of grid starts wide of actual material and ends wide also.
I see 1/4" end mill on both toolpaths. You're telling the IQ a lie 'cause it can't deal with an undercut bit.
Am I correct with those statements above?
Boom Yeah!
looks great.... going to replicate!!! Can you tell me what feeds and speeds did you use on your CNC with the MicroJIG dovetail bit?
I had a spindle speed of 1200 rpm. Feed rate 100 inches/min. plunge rate 30in/min. You are welcome to use my file, I did it in VCarve Pro. drive.google.com/file/d/1QSb-Yd3SQbVR844KwlKRUYLJmkpC7_8u/view?usp=sharing
@@thatwoodwork883 Wow! thanks a mill. So kind!
What size relief bit did you use??
I used the Microjig 1/4" relief bit.
@@thatwoodwork883 So you run the relief bit first and then the dove tail? I've got the other kit with the zero and some other items you can put on a sled. I'm building a new router table so I can't try out my new toys...LOL
@@harryshaw3813 yes run the relief bit then the dovetail bit. You could even do a relief cut with a table saw instead. It just makes it easier on the dovetail bit.
@@thatwoodwork883 worth it just for the chip clearance.
I gave up with the router case and just broke it open...... duh. As it was clearly not an electrical problem, I used a hammer....
Will you cut mine on your CNC? Willing to pay you.
I could possibly do that. Email me at thatwoodworkllc@gmail.com with what you are thinking for size and type of wood you want.
Woodprix has very good designs and plans.
Nice work but you have to use $20,000.00 CAD MACHINE. I have an INCRA MITER EXPRESS combo bought in Amazon for $280.00 and will do all kind of incredible cut. ICRA you are the best.
You don't have to use a CNC. You can use just a regular hand held router to cut the dovetail groves. I like the looks of the INCRA though. I have never used one, but it looks nice. For that price it better be very nice:)
@@thatwoodwork883 I'd like to see how you'd go cutting 20 grooves with a hand held router
@@WasimBarri It's time consuming but it can be done. Just enjoy the content man it's free and he spent a lot of time and energy to put out something for people to learn and watch. It would have been much faster for him to make this project if he didn't film it. It also makes me realize that people that comment this stuff probably don't make things because theres always many ways to achieve the same goal. You type on a computer and print from a computer most likely but I would need a 600 dollar setup to do that! Ohh wait theres other ways to achieve text on a paper such as with a pen, pencil or even a quil and ink if you're old school. Inspire to make! Not to comment! 😉
@@techguy38 Interesting rant! I'm not saying that I didn't appreciate his video, in fact I enjoyed it, but there are much better ways to make a sled in much less time that doesn't need a whole pile of slots using a CNC machine. Also, a post above mine mentioned a ready made sled from Incra called the Miter express. He is merely expressing his view that there is a product out there that's much cheaper than having a very expensive CNC machine. Like me he is trying to let people know there are not just alternative ways but better ways to make a sled. UA-camrs should know these alternative views. People who post videos assume and expect they will not have 100% agreeable comments but constructive criticism where necessary and on nearly every woodworking video there are people offering better ways and that's how we all learn
If using a cnc is cheating and doesn't make you a wood worker.
The same goes for a router, router table, table saw and bandsaw.
I'm jealous I don't have one.
Just don't do what he did and cut something so long that you run out of miter bar before the cut is finished. That is just a disaster waiting to happen.
That miter bar is awfully short for such a large sled, probably should have used 2...
You scare me.
