THANK YOU SO MUCH, Tamar, for sharing your skills, experience, know-how, innovation, and just plain hard work with us! You are my NEW INSPIRATION! My first saw was a jigsaw, but it wasn't enough to satisfy my fascination with wood, especially after watching shows like This Old House and The New Yankee Workshop back in the late 90's. I was fascinated with angles and bevels (still am), and wanted to do so much more (still do). My woodworking hobby started back in 2000 - I bought a table saw, miter saw, plunge router...and dabbled at some projects. Over the years, I have built a floor-to-ceiling wall unit for my family room, a desk for a friend, an art station for myself, and numerous other projects, besides doing many home improvement projects. But now that I am newly RETIRED, I am turning the end of my garage into my "perfect" workshop - perfect for me, anyway. As a 4 foot 11 inch woman, I have to be creative in order to keep SAFETY in mind (like storing my wood stock low rather than where it is now - up on shelves). Anyway, I am DELIGHTED to have found your videos, for you explain things so well and clearly, along with the many helpful links. Your innovation sense and enthusiasm are catchy - they get me thinking about the things I want to make, and the many JIGS I can't wait to build (you are so adept at coming up with jigs that are masterpieces of design and function!). I also am purchasing many of the tools you use and recommend, for as we all know, there's a right tool for every job. I too think the stop from Jonathan Katz-Moses is AWESOME!!! Please know that I now end my day by watching at least one, if not more, of your videos, and am taking notes on all of the neat techniques I am learning. So THANK YOU AGAIN! I hope every WOMAN within the reach of the Internet watches your videos to LEARN AND APPRECIATE that they, too, can DESIGN - BUILD - CREATE - INSPIRE.

That's soo true,never seen one soo... Fancy and DIY.

Thanks for the great video. I am a new viewer and have really enjoyed watching. I think the reason you had difficulty with the back fence was that you added a second set of threaded inserts into the two oak back rails. This acts to deflect the two surfaces by however much error in clocking exists between the two joined threaded inserts, rather than tightening them together. For a 1/4-20 fastener, this can be as much as 0.050", nearly 1/16" (or zero if they are clocked just right.) If you used clearance holes into the oak pieces, the alignment of the extension rail to the primary rail should be much better, because the pieces would be pulled together. Still, really great video, thanks for the effort!

That's funny, I was just watching the video for the first time and got through the first 12 minutes and saw that issue and jumped to the comments to see if it was fixed. I guess not. I have run into this issue many times with other peoples work. You can only have one tightening surface. Even if they are clocked right it isn't going to tighten which is why your clearance idea makes the most sense.

I like to make boxes, and what sold me is (not shown) the ability to flip stock to the other face at the angled edge, and put a spline groove in the angled box side/end. I've looked at all sorts of spline sleds to hold box sides that have an angle cut. But, here's a fully controllable solution that adds one more functionality to an already brilliant design.

Really nice sled, and finally, I see one with the T-track for a stop. I am really impressed with this design. A little food for thought on your extension, and primarily the spline. The biscuits are brilliant Extending the T-track across in the dato is brilliant. The spline, as you mentioned could have been a single, however, I would have made it wider. When you used those 1/4-20 T-bolts, you took away most of the strength they had, even collectively. I'm sure you are getting a pretty big stress riser right where the holes are, but as it is, that really shouldn't see much stress. IF you do see that spring at all, I can pretty much guarantee that is why Also, a threaded insert mated to a threaded insert typically doesn't work out that well. I'm glad it did for you. When I make a joint like that (Typically in metal) I will use the single threaded insert (Usually a Keensert or Helicoil), a bushing for a through hole, and a shoulder screw..which of course complicates things tremendously, but now you are sure to get the spline to clamp tightly against the fence. I also absolutely LOVE the Bevel feature you have introduced here. I have been toying around with some similar ideas as well. I like the 2 track method, I have been wrapped around idea of an axle...probably a shoulder screw, bushing and threaded insert....... Once again, my hat is off to you. You have some serious smarts as well as talent here!! EDIT: The Bevel I was referring to above is really the Tapered Fence feature. The Bevel is ALSO genious. My current sled has three or four Kerfs. One at zero, one at 22.5, one at 30, one at 45 lol I have the same saw you have, so this should go a long ways in helping me.

Most problems come from not planning ahead and not having at least one deadly accurate square to keep everything else square, saws are a prime example of this. 4. Probably the most important is don't get ahead of yourself, you'll make mistakes you'll get more impatient and most likely give up or get angry or both, especially true for ADHD'ers, you know who you're, i am ADHD so i know from experience, there is always a way to salvage and or fix something that's wrong or off just take time and plan.

I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and why sometimes they didn't work, such as adding the extension when trying to square up the fence. For one of us that are going to try it stops us from thinking we have a better way, that you actually already tried and found not to work like one would think it does. One last thought, your explanation of Katz Moses stop block came across clearer and had more direct appeal than other I have seen on his top block, maybe I just haven't come across the right one yet.

a really good looking sled....I will take some inspiration from it. One thing I think might warrant changing is having the inserts on the oak battens on the extension. Once the locking rod engages in the "oak" insert, it will hold the oak away form the insert on the main fence. An oversized hole will allow the nut to pinch the two parts together.

@@3x3CustomTamar Thanks so much....saw the link.

The holes in the oak extension pieces should not have threaded inserts as they will not be able to pull down tight properly... drill them out to the clearance size of the threaded knob (M8 ? 5/16" nc ? ) Great jig... 😉 😎👍☘🍺

They seem to be pulling down right properly.

@@3x3CustomTamar as long as they are tight together when you start they should stay that way. With your t-track and "biscuits" you're going to be aligned.

Frank DeRosa it’s just extra precaution to stay square. Yeah. That’s how I’ve been installing it. Make sure the oak is flush to the ply and tighten down. My thought process was that stacking them would act as if they were one threaded insert instead of two and the alignment would always be spot on

@@3x3CustomTamar I would ask you to visualise this... screw 2 inserts on a knob with a 1/8" or so gap between them, grip them in your hand and screw in the knob... once the knob bottoms out onto the top insert it will feel tight ... but you will still have that 1/8" gap... hard to explain in words but I hope you get the point I'm trying to make (poorly🙄) And yes, you are correct they will act as one nut but this " long nut " will be bridging both jig pieces, not what you want if you want to tighten one against the other.... I'm a retired engineer btw so I have some experience here... 😉 Of course if you are happy with your setup ignore my comment and carry on... as long as it works for ya, thats all that matters ... 😎👍☘🍺

Peter Fitzpatrick I totally get what you’re saying. But since I make sure the oak is flush on the ply before screwing in the knobs it’s been working fine!

This is quite possibly the most well thought out and FUNCTIONAL crosscut asked I have EVER seen!!! WELL DONE!!!!!!

Love your videos. Great instruction for those of us that aren't experts. Keep bringing it!!

Over-engineer it like a boss, typically lasts longer and is more stable.

Bought the 0lans last fall, finally got around to building this jig. It works perfectly; just as you described! Your instructions and plans are so very clear and so follow. Grateful for your guidance.

Just finished making this sled. It is GREAT! Much better than the clunker I had. Thank you, thank you. No excuses now for my wife's jewelry box. lol

Great to hear!

Thanks. I make bases to put a cross on with the words He lives and drill a hole in the middle for the cross. It is 3 in square and three sides have a 15 degree bevel. I made a crosscut sled like this without the bells and whistles. Thank you so much. Just what I needed.

I really thought you were over-designing this sled but I figured I'd watch the whole thing and see where you went with it. Now I think you might just be a genius and should probably be working for NASA. I can't even tell you how impressed I am! This setup is the answer to so many problems I currently have! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for sharing this video!

Just built a new sled for my new saw, basing a fair amount of its functionality on your design (particularly the t-track positioning and the ability to use the miter stop with the clamps. It's a great tutorial video, and I'm really happy with my result. I didn't (yet) include a t-track on the fence because I haven't convinced myself that the extra utility from a track-based stop block is worth the effort, but perhaps that'll be something I add when I run out of things to do :) Thank you!! (also bought your plans online for the layout details)

I used the HDPE kit with predrilled holes. I also used CA glue to glue the runners to the base, the CA ran through the hole at one point down into the saw fence. Took a bit to clean it up, and the runners did expand with the screws even just put in lightly , so it took a little finness to sand them into alignment. Used the router jig to route the T Track locations, worked great, and used epoxy glue to adhere it with a few cut off screws.

Your video is just awesome, thank you for making it!! You provide very clear and logical steps and the camera shots are so clean! My wife and I are going to try to build this. Thanks again!
