Excellent video thank you, I'll definitely be making one of these! I think I'll stick a sheet of sandpaper on mine to stop the wood that's being cut from skidding about on the MDF though, I did that on another jig and it works really well 👍

Thanks for watching! That would make a great addition.

Thank you. I am neurotic about "perfect" angles and this looks like a simple but reliable "tool."

Great video. My only comment is I've made 3 of similar design.. Made 1 of mdf,, over time the far side, side closest to the blade warped..Actually one side at very end slightly rose higher.. But it's a much bigger sled.. Made another from plywood. Same result eventually. finally made the 3rd and placed a brace spanning both sides of the kerf.. That seems to have done the trick for me.

Thanks for the tip of using the fence to make sure piece is square to runners.

I'm actually impressed about the sawstop tolerances, wouldn't have expected the sled to fit on another saw as just a mm off would have lead to binding

Well done Jeff! I have made a few of those of various sizes. As long a you follow the procedures that you have outlined, the miter sled is very easy to make. 👍👍

Question -- If you're making items thin enough for the height of the table saw to reach, could you add height to one side of your jig and cut two pieces simultaneously to get your miter?

@TodaysCraftsmen

Ah, interesting idea! Yes that would work!

That is useful, I use a guillotine for fussy stuff, but this is fast! I am going to borrow some ideas from your tenoning jig! Great channel! ❤

Thanks so much! Never used a guillotine but even lots of the old school trim carpenters had them on site.

Great idea, great technique to build, Jeff. I see you used the Jon Peters method of marking the center of the runners lol. Bill

Thanks, Bill! A carpenter who can’t do that trick isn’t a carpenter!

really nice job. what are those screws you use. do you use them for everything.

@TodaysCraftsmen

5 ай бұрын

Thank you! The screws I used to fasten the triangle down were #8 x 1-1/4” torx drive from Fasco Fasteners. The ones to secure the runners were #6 x 3/4” Phillips drive.

What do you do when you need identical length pieces? Thanks Ed

@TodaysCraftsmen

5 ай бұрын

You can set up a stop block if you need a lot of them or just use the first piece to mark the next if you just need a couple

Do you think this can be done successfully if my table saw only has 1 groove? Cheers from Chicago.

Did that Bosch miter saw formerly belong to John? Just curious.

Actually belonged to our buddy Keith over at Two Bit Woodwork!

I have to disagree with American Walnut being the first choice. Everyone knows that African Hornbeam is far superior even to European Hornbeam which would be my second choice. Silver Woodpecker, never heard that one but instantly understood it. Have to ask you again where's the accommodation for repetitive cuts. I got 100 doors to miter trim into and there all the same height . Hint... your useing Coconut shells for a horse
