Making a table saw sled or crosscut sled lets you get safe, repeatable, accurate cuts with your saw. My old table saw sled was worn out and didn’t have a integrated stop block. So I made a new one with a sliding stop block and some nice little features. I’ll also show you how to square your cross cut sled using a simplified version of the 5 cut method that doesn’t require all the math. #woodworking #tablesawsled #crosscutsled

Another great video. I always love how you use plan English to explain the processes and the way you show your try and errors. Keep it up please. X
I was planning to make a new table saw sled, and decided to look for a video while eating lunch, not expecting to learn anything. I have to say I’m impressed with this video! The method to square the back fence is one I have not seen before, and I’m sure it will lead to a squarer sled than I would have had. I also like the super glue method to hold the rails in place until the sled can be flipped and the rails properly attached. Thank you for making this!

Anyone? Just making sure of depth of my table top is only 21 inches, it’s ok to have a sled depth of 24 inches

Thank you for these free plans! I am fairly new to woodworking and wanted a workhorse table saw sled. This build will be a challenge for me but I am excited to get started and now have workable plans. And with your video I think I can get it done. Cudos!
I just finished building this a few days ago. Man, I'm so happy I did. This thing is going to get so much use. It's making life so much easier. The plans were awesome, so thanks for that! The only thing I'm thinking of now is how to insert more tracks on the sled for adding jigs like a miter jig.
Made this sled, works perfectly. Makes cutting so much quicker. Cheers.
I've recently watched 5 million videos about making crosscut sleds. This one is the best! Thanks a lot. (I'm modifying mine to use the katzmoses stop block method though.)

I have made a crosscut sled before but its not all that great. This one looks like a winner to me. Thanks for sharing your plans. I have been watching your videos for a few months and learning different techniques from you. Thanks again.
I built one of these for my new cabinet saw and it is awesome. I can't wait to put it to use on some pending projects. Thanks again!
Great video Brad! Planning to make one this weekend appreciate all your contributions to the woodworking community
I never built a Jig before and watching you video and with your plans made this cross cut jig even with the T track and stop block. Used it this weekend to make 4 cutting boards worked like a champ. Thanks
I never knew about a sled for table saws till today! Thank you so much for the great video and the insightful explanation!
Thanks man! I made the sled and it works perfectly. Best design out there in my opinion. It is a game changer and I should have done this years ago.
I downed loaded your plans today. THANK YOU for the easy design and free plans. I’ve been meaning to make a sled for a long time and your video and free plans gave me the motivation to finally get it done.
Finished mine tonight! Thanks a lot, great design. I got lucky and nailed the angle the first time, though, so no need for feeler gauge!
Well, compared to all the other tutorials on YT this build came with the least amount of therapy, so I'm going with your design. Cheers brother
Awesome video. Refreshing to see someone use blocks and guides while cutting on the table saw to protect the fingers... safety first!
Thank you so much for explaining which direction to move the fence when adjusting to get it square to the blade. A lot of videos I’ve seen seem to skip this very important detail.
Really appreciating the "or you could do it this way if you don't have this fancy tool" asides.
Very good and comprehensive plan to build a simple table saw crosscut sled. Thank you!
Thanks Fred very much appreciated, will build your sled tomorrow, your links are very helpful. All the very best over there. Hope you are all well.
I am in love with your shop!!! Amazing video and great explanating, lol. Can't wait to acquire a shop like yours! Keep your thumbs and stay safe.
Just bought a new table saw and this will be my first build with it!
Your information is appreciated. Thank you
Just a tip that came to me while building this sled... In order to assist with "squaring" the back fence with the blade, place a couple LARGE flat washers (spread out as far as possible) in the initial saw cut and butt your square up against these flat washers that are sticking up out of the initial saw cut. Then squaring the back fence is actually pretty precise.

Would this be any different than raising the blade and using the square against it?

Hey man your videos are great. I just built this table sled and it came out perfectly. Thanks for the amazing video and the printable plans.
Thank you. This looks great and I appreciate the free plans! I’ll next be looking at buying your flip top design for my planer and something TBD.
This video was extremely succinct and helpful. Thank you!
Just completed new sled. My old one was not quite square. I did my initial placing of the back fence using my igaging engineer's square and then did the five cuts to check for square and found that I was only .009" out and dividing by four comes out to .00225" deviation from square. I was amazed to see the measurement and redid the cuts with essentially the same result. After doing just a tiny bit of basic math, I quickly decided to put in the rest of the screws and call it done. Thank you for the great video. Please, keep'em coming.
Looks like a great Saturday project. Nice job. Thanks for free plans!!
Thanks for the plans...I'm looking forward to making this!
Nice sled...and of course with that kind of tools everything looks “simple”!😉
Lovely gift. Actually after printing your plans I get to appreciate your job a lot more. Long time subscriber. Thank you.
Great vid. Clear and uncomplicated project. Thanks for the plans.
Thanks Fred for a great video and easy to follow directions also thanks for the free plan, made a small sled now i am going to make yours, thanks and keep the videos coming, its really a nice sled.
I know this is a video from 2 years ago but I just made adjustments to my original sled to make yours! Thanks!
Really appreciate all your videos. Made my own Ted the Sled today!
This is the saw table I wish to see the best. Thank you so much! I will follow to get it.
A very well thought out design and great instructional pace! Thank you.
Great explanation of how to build a sled and I will be building this, thanks!
I was making some fixtures for my french cleat wall. I was cutting small squares on my table saw. I got really bad kick back, the piece of wood flew across my shop and punctured a huge crack in a can of CA glue activator, spraying all over the place. So, now I'm here! Thank you for the simple functional design and video. This will be my project for the day.
Thanks for the video and the plans. Keep fixing and building! Great work bro!!
Hey man, great video. Thanks for putting it up. I am in the process of building one of these and your explanation of everything has been great.
Great TS sled! I always enjoy your videos. Thanks
Dude, Great design! This has me re thinking my plan completely!
Thank you soon much. Can’t wait to build this sled
This is perfect for what I need to do. Thanks.

It never disappointed me in my wish to acquire more information about the art of wood working. Many topics were covered, including everything from wood types to developing your workshop.?

Excellent video and I will try at home. Thanks
"Simple" LOL Thanks for this!
Very impressive.
Finished this up today. Was 0.40 off on the square test, so I needed a 0.1 feeler gauge.... no such luck......experimented around and found that a strip of 100 grit sandpaper was just about right. Made the modification and voila.....the next test came out perfect! I also added some T-track for hold downs inside the sled.
This is the year I finally build one. Thanks for the inspiration.

So satisfying omg 🙂🙂
after the first 3 minutes, there are some advance things going on and with fancy equipment which I don't own. But I try this to do this with what I got. Thanks for sharing.

I just completed the sled according to your free plans and video. I generally don't subscribe, but I will to you because your plans and video showed me exactly what I needed for this project. I now have confidence that any projects you offer would be something I could do. I'm very capable, but needed the detail you provided. The sled looks just like yours and now is a useful and prized tool. The printed plans were beside me all the way thru as I built it. A number of times, I returned to view your video after muttering: "How did he do that again?" Thank you so much for taking time to explain and show in the video exactly what you did. I wish you continued success.

I like the idea of the safety block. I saw another sled that the backstop was a couple inches higher and there were two hand holes cut into it on each side of the blade.
that sled looks Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger! Thanks for the great vid and free plans!
