    A suggestion - for your match fit sled, create a matching height slab that fits in the miter slot on the opposite side of the blade (like an Incra 5000 sled). That will support your piece that overhangs the match fit sled without having to trim pieces down before you use your sled. Also - I still have flamingos in my front yard. During Mardis Gras, someone actually came and put a pink necklace with a flamingo on it around the neck of my biggest flamingo. I still don’t know who it was, but I love their sense of humor and style.

    The hype for a new miter station is real. I love the open cabinets on top of the Jay Bates design. The John Meleki design is definitely my favorite looking. I find the most challenging part wether you seal off or try to use the space behind the fence. I’ve seen a nice cup/tray design inset behind fence and then the cabinet starts about four inches back. Like a gutter before the cabinet. Also seen panels you can lift up to access inside the cabinets. Having front-to-back counter too is nice even with a fence if you raise the cabinets up. Then wether you make separate lower cabinets and connect them simply or you want more elaborate saw box with dust collection structure. So many options.

    You don't use the 5 cut method to measure "to 0.001" on everything". You use it to setup your tools to make sure they're cutting accurately. If your tools aren't cutting accurately, the errors will compound throughout the project, and if you're 1/16" off to start, by the time you get to assembly, you may be out 1/4" in some places.
