what's your solution to clamping smaller projects. what I'm talking about are like laser cut projects. I've been using normal sized clamps and i have noticed it tends to either A break what I'm clamping due to being a thin material or B it clamps it at a slight angle. ive seen that their are the mini quick grip clamps but they tend to break quickly. i've also seen that lee valley sells Hatagane Clamps which are miniature bar clamps made of brass. could you do a video on making clamps or what scenarios you use a type of clamp. and maybe review some of the odd clamps that are out there such as the Cam clamps for guitar luthiers

Thanks for reviewing this crosscut sled. I’ve seen it for sale but wasn’t sure about the quality, but looks solid.. The price seems reasonable too. When talking about price to build tools, most videos say things like, “I built it out of scrap or left over wood”. Well, if you don’t have left over wood, you’re out of pocket for a, in this case, full sheet of nice plywood. Also, I understand the satisfaction of building your own tools/jigs, but my focus right now is on projects for around the house, not tools. Rant over.

Great video as always. However, I must say that I, personally, prefer your own crosscut sled better. Two main reasons: 1) the cut piece is supported on both sides of the cut, and 2) zero-clearance cut on the nearside fence. Two very important aspects for accuracy. YOUR sled is better. Keep doing such great work, please.

I'm still a very new woodworker and it's definitely just a weekend hobby, so even something as simple as a crosscut sled can be somewhat let's say annoying to have to build and be accurate. My first iteration was horrible. So if I can find an affordable solution, I frankly don't want to mess with building my own. I'd rather spend that effort building a table saw outfeed/support so i can actually fit this sled since i bought it last week. That's why I appreciate what rockler does for having so many jigs (although too expensive a lot of the time).

Your shop built sled is still better. I guess if the extra 10" width and 4" depth is a deal breaker for folks with small shops (like me), then the Powertec may be good. I prefer a sled that covers both sides of the blade. Also, the dovetail clamps are overkill unless you're using them in other areas of the shop. For angle cuts, I made simple angled inserts from 3/4" plywood that clamp onto the top of my sled. Then the cut piece butts against the insert. Also, I made sacrificial inserts from 1/4" (3" wide) hardboard that run along the path of the blade. I can easily replace them when the zero clearance gap gets too wide and/or for for angling the blade. Thx for another great video.

There are a couple of other similar sleds, although remember if you only want 90 degree cuts you should probably just build a crosscut sled yourself, or use a kit. Most of these are available in left and right, and most have a matching drop off, although you can probably build a drop off yourself. One I used extensively is the Incra Miter 5000. This is an Incra Miter Gauge attached to a sled. Before I had a full size table saw, this allowed me to use my job site saw in a safer fashion because it added more surface area safely. The biggest issue I had was Incra's tightening design. To get the drop off on or off or tighten the fit you had to use an hex wrench - but these fasteners were not made of good material. I had one of them which reach the point of being unusable. You can replace these. Another (and this applies to all the Incra Gauges) is that the back bolt is in a place where you have remove parts and spin the gauge around to tighten it. All of these issues encouraged me to look for another sled when I got a full size table saw, although I've ended up using a regular Miter Gauge instead mostly (Jessem). There are instances when I wish I want to get a Miter sled working again, but not enough of them. I have the Powertec sled, but the MDF was destroyed in a move before I ever used it so I can't say anything about it. I also have a Dubby Sled from Peachtree. I had trouble getting the parts together because of the same move. I really just need to figure out which parts I'm missing and get it fixed. On the premium end, there's Woodpecker's Autoscale. I haven't tried this, it's $530 per side and $130 for the drop off. I'm sure it's great.

Aligning the fence to the blade is not the best way to setup a crosscut sled. What you really want is the fence to be perpendicular to the travel of the sled, which is determined by the miter slot. Think of using a cross-cut sled on a router table or bandsaw - you can't align to the cutting tool anyway. After trimming the sled to length, just use your square on the cut edge and the fence. Then check with the 5-cut method.

Since this sled is really not compatible with say a SKILL model jobsite saw, what would you suggest for a cross cut sled for the smaller job site style saws?

One thing I did years ago that you could do with this jig is to score a line into the top of my saw all the way from the blade to the outside of the table. This gives you a perfect reference line for the left side of the blade. I just did mine with a utility knife. Now I have a perfect line in the table top to line up where the blade will cut no mater what blade you use.

any chance of talking them into making a job site saw version size?

That looks just like the Rockler; I guess they're made by the same manufacturer.

Will this work with a Skil 15 Amp 10 IN. Table Saw or is there something like this that will work with a Skil Saw? Thanks

Could you put an adhesive tape across the top of the metal fence to use as a quick reference for exact measurements/repeat measurements?

For me, building gets you what you need and increases your skills. However, when you have a project that needs finished, there .ay not be time to build, so then I buy .
