39 - Extreme Crosscut Table Saw Sled with Perfect Miter & Dado & Removable Zero Clearance Insert
GET PLANS HERE: kingsfinewoodworking.com/coll...
I needed a crosscut sled to replace the ones that I keep ruining because I turn them into dado sleds every time a have to cut a quick dado. Doing this makes the saw blade opening in the bottom of the sled too wide to be zero clearance for the sawblade. And just as bad is when I have to switch sawblades out for one with a thin kerf.
I needed a way to make my cross cut sled have change-able zero clearance inserts for each different thing that I use. I figured if my table saw can have an insert plate, so can my cross-cut sled!
In addition, I wanted to have a miter sled. I don’t like pulling out my Incra Miter 5000 each time I want to make a 45 degree cut, like for a picture frame. So I designed a system that allows for absolutely perfect miters. I used the rules of geometry to cut and make a PERFECT 45-45-90 triangle. Anyone can do it, and I show you how. After I made that, I cut a perfect picture frame in less than 2 minutes.
And I not only cut dados with my dado blade, this Table saw sled combined with my dado blade makes a perfect tenoning jig, with flawless shoulders. I will show you exactly how to accomplish that with this sled. I hope you enjoy.

You must be a shop teacher. Your explanations are just on point. Thanks for your lesson.
James, I just want to say that as a fellow girl-dad, I really admire how your kids hang out in the shop and help you with projects. Mine are a little bit too young for that right now, but they like doing the "hanging out" part. Also, this sled is awesome. I might make an attempt at it at some point when I feel confident.

Great sled, well explained and easy to follow. Built the sled and it is true and wonderful to use. I made two changes. I used adjustable miter tracks that were top mounted to allow precision adjustments if necessary and I left a 1/4” gap at the end of the T-tracks so the clamps can be completely removed for some types of projects. Thanks again, really love your channel!,

I built the sled and it works really well. It adds a huge safety factor when using the saw. I drilled a hole in the block on the back of the closer fence to accommodate the vacuum cleaner attachment and solved a huge dust issue. I used a sacrificial fence for dado cuts taking care not to cut into the main fence and losing the register marks. I keep it well waxed. BRILLIANT design...thanks .

Been watching a bunch of kumiko KZread videos...this lead to watching a bunch of table saw sled construction videos. This guy is the best teacher, with the least ego in his voice. His sled is the most expensive in materials, the most versatile, and the most exciting one I’ve seen. Never built a table saw sled. Making accurate cuts on table saws has always been a challenge for me...probably mostly because my saws aren’t shop grade(expensive, ginormous, and super heavy), and I haven’t built enough jigs for table saws(a sled is a super jig). Thanks James, been a house carpenter for 26 years, cheers.

This is how I started out. I have a vivid memory of being about five years old (1953?). My retired grandfather had a small shop in his basement outfitted with some Delta-Milwaukee Homecraft brand tools that included a drill press, a band saw, and a small table saw with a 4-inch jointer on the side. I still have his drill press and use it frequently. Using mostly 1/2- and 1/4-inch pine, he made napkin holders, salt boxes, spoon trays and such. At Christmas he would produce a number of small sleighs that you could put a candle and some greenery on. I worked in the hand-sanding department on the production line. He sold his items at a local gift shop to make a bit of walking around money. But I digress. My best memory of my childhood is my grandfather taking the wheel/blade covers off of the band saw and having me clean the sawdust out of the tool with a small paint brush. I've worked wood all my life and am always upgrading my shop and believe that he pointed me in the right direction in life. Oh, about the Delta-Milwaukee Homecraft brand, it has been interesting to see how the companies have bought and sold each other over the years and how the brands have changed in quality. In the '70s I had a Black and Decker Super Sawcat circular saw with an electric brake. It lasted more than 25 years with daily construction use. Now when I see the Black and Decker name I think of toasters and homeowner-quality tools. In the '50s, my father had a military surplus DeWalt radial arm saw in the basement. It was a Navy gray and was a beast. My mother said the lights would dim in the whole neighborhood when he would push the ON button. She said said she held our first aid kit in her hands whenever he used the thing, said the whine of the motor was blood curdling. DeWalt has had an interesting progression of owners (read Wikipedia) since 1923 and is indicative of the frequent changes of ownership of these tool companies. I didn't mean to write a book here, but just to say that I think it is wonderful that you have apprentices/helpers in the shop. Thanks for a great video.

Remember to count your fingers before and after using the table saw! :-O
You are very gifted in not only what you do with your hands, but your narration as well. Some of the best video I have ever watched. Thank you.
I spent the last two days making this after buying your plans. It is simply amazing. I used my carpenter square to set the back fence initially and after all was done, following the 5-cut method, my adjustment came out to be 0.0013 inches. That was plenty good enough for the work I do (and the smallest blade on my feeler gauge was 0.001"). Thanks for this video and all the great work you've done.
One important item I did not notice being covered in the video is that the fence must be straight with zero bow. This can be achieved by clamping the fence to a known straight edge while squaring and adding screws up through the sled into the fence at quarter points. Very good video and it gave me some good ideas to improve mine. I love playing with the five cut method.
Awesome sled, James. Very informative video. After watching, I actually used the 5 cut method to square up the fence on my old radial arm saw. ( I didn't want to reset the 90 degree stop which is a pain) The method worked perfect and resetting the fence was relatively easy. I do not move the RAS out of the 90 degree position but rather use jigs and fixtures to make perfect miter cuts. Thanks again for all your informative videos.
Fantastic use of grade 9 geometry which I have long since forgotten. This is one of the best vids about making an ACCURATE crosscut sled. I also like your explanation of the 5 cut method, I found it much easier to follow than other tutorials. Thanks !!

Without any doubt the absolute best crosscut sled and cross cut sled build on youtube. Congrats. I will be purchasing the plans and building one. Only one possible safety improvement on your "death block", fit a stop on your outfield table. Mine is a 1/2 inch diameter bolt with the thread cut off and a large round rubber bumper fitted. It is positioned so that the saw blade is into your death block to the max depth for any piece you are going to need to cut without it coming through the back of the block. Your dado will also need its own hole due to differing diameter. It can be stored on a rare earth magnet under the edge of the table saw top so it is always at hand. I've seen too many of those Safety blocks with saw kerf slots cut all the way through. All the best.

James, when you installed the runners you drilled and tapped them, you then ran the screws into them from underneath. The holding power by doing this will be minimal at best. If you would have brought the screw through the plywood and then into the runner the holding power would be greatly increased.

Thought the same. When watching my first thought was "oh, that's a good idea, drill all the way through and tap the metal so you can countersink the wood on the top side and drive a machine screw down. But yeah, those screws are basically doing very little to hold the metal to the wood.

@@mj.sorrondeguiThere are a couple of reasons. First, aluminum has far more strength to hold machine threaded screws than plywood does. Second, wood expands and contracts, meaning those screws could come loose over time. In either case, it's probably a good idea to wick thin CA glue into the wood to prevent too much compression.

Made this sled last week and really like it. One interesting thing about using replaceable inserts is that you can use it to effectively be a multi-purpose jig. I put a box joint finger on one of my inserts and can reuse the rest of the sled. This means I don't have to create / store two separate jigs for this. Pretty cool. Curious to see what other inserts we can come up with. Cheers!

I’m very happy to find this video on your ultimate sled. A few years ago I started building your extreme miter station but due to unforeseen family circumstances had to stop 3/4 way through construction. Now, with more time on my hands I decided to finish it but wanted to construct the many drawers with box joint corners. After cruising KZread for a workable jig, I found yours. As usual you made the build using simple explanations for each step - like you did with the miter station. I’ve ordered the plans and I’m beginning my own sled to make the drawer box cuts. Thank you so very much for those instructions. I hope to provide you with a finished version before spring.

Great tip on making the miter guide! Also a great explanation of the 5-cut method. There is one slight error on adjusting the fence. Instead of dividing by the length of the fence, you should measure the length to the pivot screw since that is the point that stays in place. In your case, the dimensions are close so your method is pretty accurate but it might have been even more perfect. It would make more difference if the screw was not near the end of the fence. Subscribed. Thanks.

I would like to both purchase your plans for this sled plus donate some money to your family but I don’t do social media and prefer to avoid having to agree to Patreon’s “cookie policy.” That said thanks in advance for your patience in getting back to me on how I go about getting you a check that you may cash then send me the above plans. On a side note, I have two daughters that love to help in my shop for decades and I LOVE seeing you with your girlies! Blessings, Lou

Hi Lou!! Thank you so much for such a wonderful and kind comment!! James
Appreciate the update I recently received. Getting ready to finally build this sled. What is the weight of the finished product?
Watched it in two sessions James, interesting how things come together mate, Nick Ferry made a wonderful cross cut sled & you’ve put your own interpretation on it & that’s how these things go, Jay Bates Mitre Saw station builds get modified but all in all it’s a nice touch how everyone views it 👍👍👍👍👍

More than the idea of this jig, I think what we need more than this is that other hand helping out in every process. Hope everyone gets that hand :)
Man, that is the best cross cut sled I've found on YT! Thank you for sharing this video! Great you've made your business a family affair! Cool. God bless you and yours, brother!
Awesome tutorial, thanks for sharing!

Hi Fernando! You are very welcome. Thank you for watching!
Looks good! I was thinking that if the stop block you bolted on was exactly 1" thick, your tape would be accurate on both sides of the block, plus one inch on the right side of the blade.

Hi Ryan. Great tip.
Great video and design. What a WONDERFUL shop helper you have there. She's thinking ahead, anticipating your next move, and making your job quick and easy. Nice!
It is so cute seeing the girls working in the shop, takes me back to when my one grand daughter was younger and she'd "come help Papa work"!! Her and I would spend our days doing all sorts of things!! We'd paint things together or even pick up branches that fell of the tree in our front yard (that she called "Antlers" at the time...she was only 6 years old then)!! One other time I was pulling nails out of some lumber I was "reclaiming" and she insisted on "helping me" (at around 8 years old) and she would help "hold wood" as I would saw it at times (though I seldom ever actually let her hold it, but she thought she was "helping"!)!!!! I know she just got such a "kick" out of wearing my old googles or safety glasses, and she LOVED to wear my old work gloves!! BUT at least today as a teenager she isn't afraid to "get her hands dirty" and try to do things on her own!! Which I feel she gets from all those days in her childhood "helping Papa"!!! Makes me proud to see a young lady who isn't afraid to use tools is my point and I am so glad I had those times with her, to share making things with her!! God I miss those days, and I had a lot of fun showing her how to build stuff, as she was around when I was working on my shed that is NOW my workshop and she was there watching me (and helping me) build my desk and a few other projects around my home too!!!
