      I like the design but why isn't there a base? More depth of cut?
      One thing that I would do is add a spring to the t-track stop to make the wood pieces stay apart. That way, you don't have to fiddle with it as much when you put it in the track.

    Awesome sled, just finished it. Highly recommend It and plans are free from John. I also recommend the belt and disc sander, it's compact, easy to build and adjust, very useful. and very cool with holes drilled in the top wheel. Thanks John.

    I did like the video, well done. What I picked up on is the finger guard behind the fence for blade safety, that glued piece of wood. It's a good idea, love safety suggestions, will definitely be adding it to my sleds.

  • @ClearTheDeck
    @ClearTheDeck 3 роки тому +1

    Of all the mini sled designs I've seen, this is my favourite blend of functionality and simplicity. I'll have to build it with only 1 runner for my saw; hoping that'll be enough.

  • @kencarp57
    @kencarp57 4 роки тому +1

    I’m going to make this one! I have made several sleds over the years, but this one is small and light. I may add (to the finger-saver block) a removable “tail” piece going back beyond the back of the table with a little block at the end on the underside, to stop the sled at the furthest-forward point it should go.

  • @Katsoup98
    @Katsoup98 3 роки тому +1

    This is really interesting, and I think I might try and make one myself. I really love the way you cut the slot for the stop block to slide. You always see people doing it with routers, and as a novice hobbyist, that's disheartening. Thank you for the great idea!

  • @ilive4livemusic

    Thank you for the free plans John. I made the original a few years back and loved it. I just replaced my old saw with a new one, and just made the deluxe version. You made it look easy, and I am always amazed at how well you present yourself and your projects. Another thumbs up.

  • @stevegodfrey6063
    @stevegodfrey6063 4 роки тому +1

    Hi John, this is perfect. I didn't really want a full sized sled for what I do and in the past I have simply clamped a wooden rail to my miter gauge, which is OK, but not great. I think this is all I will ever need for cross cutting. Thank you for describing it all so well 😊

  • @KitLake
    @KitLake 4 роки тому +2

    Thanks so much, John. This little sled has quickly replaced my other larger sled and miter jig as, 95% of the time, I'm cutting relatively small pieces. Awesome, simple, useful project!

  • @jaomap
    @jaomap 4 роки тому

    this one is much better compared to other table sledge on UA-cam for 2 reason:
    1. its lightweight
    2. deep cut is not affected since it doesn't have base wood ,the wood being cut is direct contact to tablesaw itself

    I've just made myself two of these - one for my work place and one for my home shop. I only had 18mm ply, so a bit chunkier but works good all the same. I also added an extra stop block on the other end so I can set from/to locations for cutting out repeatable rebates. Great design - Next project will be the bar clamps :D

    This is a great jig. I have been meaning to build one since you first made the original and now you've made it even better. It seems very useful when cutting small pieces and easier to pull out and put away than a big crosscut sled. Thanks for the video and build article with plans!

  • @brett328
    @brett328 4 роки тому +1

    I really need to do this. I have a suggestion for the stop block, but it will interfere with your storage trick. In order to keep the stop block from wiggling slightly as you tighten it down, how about putting a small runner on the back side of the stop block to run in the t-slot channel. Thereby always keeping it perfectly square and vertical to the table.

    • @JohnHeisz
      @JohnHeisz  4 роки тому
