Simple ZERO-KICKBACK, Repeatable-Cut Crosscut Sled / How to Cut Small Pieces on the Table Saw
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 січ 2022
- Cutting small pieces of material on the table saw can get pretty sketchy. Either the pieces get pinched between the blade and the stop block and they kick back, or they dance around next to the blade and torment you. Today I'm putting an absolute stop to the issues typically associated with cutting small parts on a table saw and making a whole new crosscut sled to solve these issues.

I haven't watched a sled build in forever, but when I saw that you had made one, I thought, ok, I'll give it a try 'cause I like your videos - and I wasn't disappointed! What a great design! Well done.
This was very interesting to me because I cut a lot of small parts and when I watch videos of others cutting small parts repeatedly, I always cringe as I see the parts piling up next to the blade. For one, I don't like the thought of those pieces shooting back at me, but also I don't like that the blade can nick even a tiny fraction into the end of one of those small parts. I love this solution. I love the way you approach everything in the shop, simple, practical, and solve the issue directly.
I really like the design and idea of the sliding stop. The only concern I see is the blade exit out the back. I know you mentioned both hands a busy and to the side, but you know how things can happen with machinery.
Great design! I need to rebuild my crosscut sled. I will definitely incorporate some of your ideas into the sled I will build. I really like using two stop blocks for making repetitive cuts and the secondary piece with the beveled edge to guide small parts away from the blade. Excellent ideas.
Genius, made more so by its simplicity. You’re an inspiration to inventor’s everywhere!
Some good ideas there, the stop block setup, and the drop away to get the pieces away from the blade.
Great jig! I like the idea of using a miter to move the small parts away from the blade so you don't end up with a missile.
You're a genius ...This is so simple and obvious ... asking why wouldn't I though of that before. Way safer. TY. Keep this comming.
I've been needing to replace my current sled and this may be just the project for me. Thanks for the info
Very nice. I love watching your videos because they always have a unique way of solving problems. Also the in-depth explanation behind every step and features is really helpful. Looks like you have started 2022 with a bunch of great content being released. Keep them coming. Thanks.
I have yet to build my own crosscut sled especially a small parts sled but, when I do, I'll definitely incorporate your design and ideas. Very well done. Thanks for sharing.
Very clever! Building one of these for my shop ASAP. I cut a lot of small corner blocks and loose tenons; this will help speed up the batch cutting process. Mine will probably be a two runner design though, and I like to use UHMW as runner material. Thanks for posting!
Good video! I built a small parts sled based on a design I really like, but had that problem that you fixed with the sliding stop. I’ll be redesigning that part with your solution today. Thank you for sharing.
This is pretty clever, thank you for sharing. I've got a Incra Miter 5000 sled but I find myself wanting a small parts sled frequently. I'd been looking at the Rockler one but just didn't care for it, but I did like that the parts fall away. I'm pretty sure I'm going to build yours now thanks again.
The way you said, "shop projectiles," makes it sound like a bad thing... but seriously, this is a good idea, and foolproof-simple. Taking a shot in the melon from a 1/2" dowel piece is endurable, but more frustrating to me is the times when that dowel section gets obliterated in the sled kerf itself. That totally chews out and destroys the zero-clearance edges. This is going in the 'watch later' so I can come back to it and replicate your idea.
I'm right in the middle of a crosscut sled build and this really helped. Love the idea of using the saw fence as a guide for gluing/screwing the front and back on, and the sliding stop thing is really clever. Will definitely integrate some of your ideas into my build. Cheers!
Great sled, love the concept Jodee, thanks for this one.
Great build as always. Happy 2022!!
That’s pretty genius. Great video as always. Glad to see you making content again.
Great design on the sled. It's always fun cutting multiple small pieces and watching them dance right beside the moving blade hoping it does catch.
Great job! very simple yet effective, thank you for sharing.
Thanks, it looks like great sled!!! As always loved the tips during during the build up.
Finally got around to building this, it's a great little sled! Thanks for sharing, Jodee
FYI on the Incra miter bar.
I purchased an Incra Miter 3000Se years ago for my Delta Unisaw and I love it!
But... when I purchased a SawStop the miter bar had far too much play. I rotated the black inserts which do wear over time. But still too much wiggle. I tightened the screws on the slotted disks and still too much wiggle, I was ready to toss it out when I decided to call Incra. Glad I did! Mark, at Incra, emailed me a doc to follow and said call him back if it does not work.
The doc was telling me to do most of what I had already done. But... Here's the fix. Put a thin coat of grease, not oil, on the treads of the screws that hold the slotted disks. Now adjust agin. It worked great! This is the tightest miter bar I have ever had. ZERO WIGGLE!! I love my Incra Miter 3000SE even more.
I have been looking to make this kind of jig to but small thin disks and this is great. Thank you for sharing and congratulations on your approach to build. Great videos
Very very cool solution to an annoying problem. Kudos!
really awesome, simple and genius idea!
I liked your ideas. Thank you.
Wow so glad I found you. GJ man. Just what I needed ty.
It wasn't until I watched this vid that I realized how much I missed your content during your hiatus! Thanks and keep it coming Jody!
Excellent build. Loving your channel.😊
Great job and tutorial. Thanks for posting.
I love this sled! Thank you so much.
Very smart build. 👌
Great idea. Easy design but also very effective
That is pure genius right there.
Great design! This will be on my list to add to my shop the next time I need small pieces!
Nice sled design. I will make one too. I may also cut a dado on the left side of the sled to correct the cut out pieces.
I like your stop block solution. Nice and simple. 👍
I love this sled!
Super vid and very useful. Thank you
This is very cool. Thanx so much. I'm still learning new, better, safer ways of doing things as I'm enjoying the start of my woodworking. I can def see the benefits of a sled like this, so I've already noted this video for future reference.
This is a genius idea. Thank you so much for sharing this.
This is a brilliant design!!! Thanks so much. Just when I needed it. Cheers!!
Genius! I'm making this tomorrow. 👍👍
Some very nice design ideas, thanks.
Great ideas man, thanks!!!!
Watching this video convinced me that I need a small parts sled. Thanks for the video.
Great concept. I love the idea!
Ooh nice! Think I'll make one of these! Well done!
Superb, super simple, thanks, on my list.
Very nice; I have often thought my TS was trying to kill me sometimes, as it shot small items back at me!
Brilliant!
One thought. Instead of a sliding stop you could make a pivoting stop that moves the stop forward (and slihgtly uppwards) instead of sideways. Essentially the same piece you have but the front and back at an angle. A V shape.
If you grab it like your sliding stop I expect it to open naturally when your hands move forwards and push on the back and close on the backward movement when your fingers push on the front.
There will be a limit to what angle is practical and thus on stock size but for the stock you use in your video it should work perfectly.
Great video! Great design!
Very nice presentation.
I don't do a lot of small parts but i love the idea of the out-feed releasing the off-cuts away from the blade, and the stop block is almost ingeniously simple. Definitely makes cutting a lot of pieces faster. Changes I would make? Wax the bottom. MDF, yes I know beaver-puke looks terrible but its stable, a lot cheaper, and easier to find than proper Baltic-birch. Get a t-slot router bit and cut the channel for the stop block instead, it will pay for itself within a few feet of track, and the wood tracks hold perfectly fine aside from medium-heavy clamping loads.
Fantastic design, dude! Really nicely done! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Fantastic video and project
Damn every time you post something like this, you can see the genius idea in the first ten seconds and I'm always thinking "holy shit, how has nobody thought of this yet?"
I bet you could patent this!
What a great idea!
Absolute genius design, simple to build and top handling. Up to now I never saw this kind of stop block, but it's usable for any type cross cut sled, just perfect. No hinge or moving parts that might wear out. The only thing I will change when building my next sled is the runner, the "Workshop Companion" lately came up with a good solution in UHMW PE and adjustable width for perfect fit.
Do you have a link to the runners or a video?
@@jonathangaliano2617 The Link is
ua-cam.com/video/ThHQFVD00w4/v-deo.html
and the name of this part of that video is "Guide" starting at 3:56
Quite possibly the very best design that I have seen for this purpose. How well does the drop off work for standard plywood or lumber in regards to keeping the blade path clear?
Awesome, thanks for sharing this great idea 💡 😀 👍
Ok you two are funny in a great way. Skill set is good too lol. Subscribed.
🤔👍🏻😃
Nice design!
I’ll have to try it out.
Nice sled the only thing I noticed is putting a tiny fence on the right so little pieces don't roll off onto the table, Or turn the right side into a little tray that you can remove and take your cut off's over to your assembly area
Good thoughts.
My solution to the gathering of small pieces in a bad place is to run an (empty) shop vac attached to the fence. It simply pulls all the small pieces (even hundreds) into the vacuum as soon as they are cut. They are then protected and easy to collect when finished. No special sled needed.
Genius!
Very functional for small pieces.
Andy Klein could have used this! Simple, effective, and ingenious. thanks for another terrific build video.
👍 on sliding stop block.
Good idea well executed. I like the incra steel mitre slider available on Amazon. Do at least one thing today that makes you happy.
Brilliant!
Great design 😁👍🏼 as always I love how much thought you put into your work! I miss the Jodee vs Jodee scenes though 😜 those were always a lot of fun to watch! I know that it‘s a lot of work though and understand, that you can‘t put that into every video of yours 😉
I'm trying to figure out a way to bring it back. I've heard that from a lot of people.
nice desighn i am going to make one.
Interesting. I'll have to keep this in mind, should I build myself a new sled. 🤓
Excellent sled for strait and bevel cuts. Now can you build and share a small parts miter sled? Or modify this one to include miter?
I think that's what I'm going to use the other end of the sled for, in the other miter slot.
These stopping blocks represent the ultimate smartness.
Nice!
4 15/16 stars...lol
Only thing is not enough contrast between the 3/4” tapered insert and the 1/2” sled body. Other than that a perfect sled. Going out to the shop to make one right now.
Out of T-track, so going with key-hole router bit to cut the slot in the top of the back rail. ( oak )
Saludos cordiales y bendiciones para usted y toda su familia es usted genial de Aguascalientes México Francisco gamez un abrazo muy fuerte 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💯
Brilliant. I have a small parts sled and have run into similar issues with keeping the small parts out of the way.
I will see if I can modify mine to incorporate your improvements, if not I see a new sled on the horizon.
Thank you for your vision. I love that you a popping up on my feed again. Have a great weekend.
Olá! Gostaria de ter uma mesa auxiliar na serra esquadria, não sei cortar com segurança peças pequenas. Você é ótimo, sempre cria uma maneira de nos ajudar. Serra esquadria, corte pequeno, qual mesa auxiliar? Obrigado, abraço. Robertson( Brasil).
Hmm, nice.
The reason I put a clamp in the bottom of mine was so I could clamp down a relatively small piece and make cuts on it, a much smaller piece than I would want to hold down with my fingers.
Good point!
I think I’m gonna build 2 of these. One for my table saw and one for my band saw.
I never even thought about the bandsaw. Good thinking!
Just like the Rockler small parts sled.
Freaking genius.
smart idea. Maybe you can add a small wood with magnets to the end of the lower board. So you'll get a fence for all that little tiny pices you cut and which are falling down and no one will get lost if you made a lot of them.
Good idea. I have been experimenting with a removable tray to collect the pieces, but I'm not sold on it yet. It ends up limiting the offcuts from falling away correctly. A removable fence might just be the way to go.
a strip of acrylic over the cutline might be a good idea, to prevent sawdust from being thrown in the face of the operator.
How about some plans?
I'm not sure if folks would want plans so I didn't make any for this one. I might look into it though.
Cool sled!! The link you put in the description for "Jig Hardware Kit (T-Bolts and Knobs)" isn't going to the hardware kit you showed in the video. It's going to "2 Piece Expandable Miter Gauge Slot Fixture Hold Down Kit".
I changed it. Thank you so much for pointing that out!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
\*takes notes furiously!!!\* 👀💦
Anyone else here because all of the pitfalls of a standard cross cut sled were true?
I'm making repeatable angled cuts and at-least 20% of. the parts for flying!
Boy.....I just cut about 1000 3/4" x 3/4" x 3/4" blocks for my daughter to build her favorite Minecraft creatures. This would have been a lot faster and safer.
Using a table saw without a flow table is neither safe nor wise:-(
I like a lot of stuff this guy does but watch the big nono at 1:15 If you know anything about woodworking and safety you never ever use a mighter gauge with the fence doing a cross cut never
If you rewatch that part, you’ll see that’s not actually what happened. I set the fence to measurement that I wanted, slid my piece up to it, moved the fence out of my way, and made my cut. Simple, safe and quick.
@Inspire Woodcraft lol I actually thought about that after I posted that.
Why does every channel always specify Baltic birch??? It is not easy to find so most of us are limited to what we can get at the orange or blue stores. Why not also specify ply that we can get at either of these stores as an alternate part???? 20 miles from me is a Woodcraft store, but they don't have Baltic birch in stock. This has always been a problem. And given the current price of lumber, there has to be a better way. I am just tired of every woodworking channel always specifying Baltic birch. There has to be a more user friendly way.
Don't you hate it when the presenter starts doing an ad himself. This is too too commercial so I'm out of here.
A lot of time and effort goes into the making of a video. I consider ads to be a small price to pay for the value of what I learn from a podcast, UA-cam video, etc.
Brilliant!
