Hi Phil,

I agree showing options is a great way to help show folks how easy it can be to make great accessories and tools like the sled, unfortunately I get pressed for time and can’t always demonstrate all the options. Maybe a follow up video might help.

Thanks for watching.

Nice video if one has a jointer. So many of these instructional videos assume that hobby furniture makers, like myself, have the money, and space to acquire jointers, bandsaws, lathes, etc. It would be nice if Matt would present alternatives to construction.

You did hear it right, there is a bandsaw sled. Here’s a link to the one suggested to me http://youtu.be/CVzKIAooZhk

Hi Matt
Nice jig for tablesaw i’m sure (i’m not a tablesaw user)
Did i hear right you said can be used on a bandsaw ? If one day you decide to try this one on a bandsaw please don’t forget to film, i definitely don’t want to miss that !!! I mean the moment when you scrub your back head right after ;c)
Just kidding

Looking forward on the projects.

Thanks for the very well timed time video, I will be making a sled very soon. I’ve watched a few videos on how to make one and yours is among the easiest. I appreciate you keeping it simple for my feeble brain to comprehend.

After using the granite topped saw, not using the tablesaw top it’s going to be very difficult lol.

I have to get into the mindset of putting something protective down if I do any gluing or other work on there.

Of course, this could be a great excuse to finally upgrade the workbench?!

Matt,
Nice Table Saw (SawStop) and a Sled is the best #1 fixture for any Table saw,
But try not to use this saw as a workbench I know watching video the sled was
Raised up while drilling but I still cringed a little.

Hey Chet,

I used just one, I had originally planned to use one on each side, but after I attached the first one I was shocked at how solid it was.

I may add a second one, but not parallel too, instead in line with the first. This would give me more travel when first putting the sled on the table top.

Matt,

I couldn’t tell from the video but did you use two microjig bars (one for each miter slot) or just one?

Thanks,
