Nicely done, sir! I have been watching many videos of this type of small parts container rack builds, and this is the most efficient build I have seen. I kike that it can be blown out when dusty, and that it has a backstop for the containers. I will be building this soon! I may tighten up the vertical spacing and keeping the base only as wide as the tower though. My olan is to make it a suitable height for a bench drill press on top. Again, thank you for the inspiration and tips!

👋🏼 Newbie here. Just had my first experience with kickback. I unplugged it and took the time to install all the safeguards. So yes, love your sled. After watching many cross sled build videos, I noticed yours does not have a rear fence. Leads me to the question "how important is the rear fence?"
@TheNewbieWoodworker5 күн бұрын
That's a great question. I think it probably depends on the quality of plywood you use for the sled. For this sled, I used Baltic Birch plywood, and it's plenty strong enough without the rear fence. I mean, I've been using my sled for somethiing like 4 years, and I've never had a problem.

Why couldn't Parts Express offer videos like these, which show what unit looks like while assembling? Directions suck. Will not recommend. Also supplied batteries need to provide power advertised. Too many surprises and extra purchases necessary

Thank you for the informative video. It's greatly appreciated. Sharing here a newbie tip I recently learned: for the screw holes, using countersink screws in combination with a countersink wood/metal bit, prevents the head of the screws from getting in the surface of the t-track slot, making the move of the miter gauge go smoothly without the screws interfering. Better, it's to use the new HCS 82 or 90 degrees single-flute countersink. Keep up the good work!

It has been a while. I’m a new resubscriber. I had too many woodworking subscriptions so I unloaded all of them. This video came up and I found it compelling. I use hand planes on every project so square and accurate angles off the table saw are not things I strive for. I get there with shooting boards.I am, however always looking to learn. Nevertheless, I appreciate all the effort you put into this video, warts and all. Do you know how many hours you put into this production. I’m sure it was a lot and I would be wrong if I guessed. Thanks for your effort.

How did you stop the blade guard from not catching the sled on the pull back ? I held them up with my fingers and placed a self tapping screw to hold them up not sure what you did?
@TheNewbieWoodworker9 күн бұрын
If I don't push it too far through, it's not an issue for me because the guard sits on top of the block at the back. You can kind-of see that at around the 00:25 mark.
@Aethalops10 күн бұрын
Nice quick project. Possible improvement: Instead of strips across the back you could have used a single sheet (or several scrap pieces) of 1/4" plywood. Not only is this less work, but also provides rigidity against sideways sheer forces. And it makes the total depth 1/2" less, which may be more friendly to your appliance door.

I have two Dustoppers, one on a Fein dust extractor and the newer Dustopper Pro on a Bosch DE. The Bosch is my shop-wide DE via an overhead boom, while the Fein is dedicated to my miter saw which gets a lot of use. I chose the Dustopper because of its lower profile; it's over a foot shorter than a Dust Deputy mounted atop five-gallon buckets which ride on both DEs.

I am drilling through , 2 1/2" of ipe, a super dense hardwood. I'm having trouble figuring out what bit is the best to use. I need speed and for the bits not to break. Making clean holes is not a priority as all I am doing is making pilot holes for screws
@TheNewbieWoodworker15 күн бұрын
That's a conundrum, for sure. Pilot holes are generally small diameter, but small diameter bits break easily. So all I can say is that you should be careful. Not much help, I know, but that's all I've got. And make sure you start by punching an indentation before you start drilling, either with a punch or a hammer and nail, so the bit doesn't wander around.
