Build A Sacrificial End Block For Your AutoScale Miter Sled | Deep Dive | Woodpeckers Tools

[@pctatc66]

thanks for addressing the sacrificial fence issue. This now looks like a winner and we are no longer "settling" good job Gang

[@5280Woodworking]

Going to build some of these this weekend after I calibrate my left and right sleds!

[@1S4Per]

Great job listening to your customers 👍

[@TallEvaGuy]

Good Grief!!! Didn’t even know about the autoscale miter sled. Maybe I should read my daily Woodpecker emails more closely. Looks like I’ve got some investigating to do. Looks pretty neat from this video. Thanks for the video Hoss!

[@1915Woodworks]

These deep dives are the best!

[@WoodpeckersLLC]

Glad you enjoy them!

[@1915Woodworks]

@@WoodpeckersLLC a little too much. I keep watching, and ordering. Like 3,4 orders this month. With all the money I spent on shipping I could have had another tool 😂

Jeff is to woodworking as Slash is to shredding.

[@WoodpeckersLLC]

Thanks....I think. ;^)

[@michaeldamico4285]

Hello Jeff, it would be really useful to show how the sacrificial end block is used in practice. Maybe you can add that small section of video to the front end of your existing video for the benefit of the people who are not already familiar with how the block us used in practice. What I'm tryin to say is actually show how it's used to make a part that requires it's use.

[@acerjuglans383]

What don't you understand about it? It's a piece of wood that you cut into, providing a zero clearance backing for your workpieces.

[@memezilla4370]

[@11211lcb]

As Jeff said, you cut into it. But a bit further, you use a new one when you change angles. FWIW you need a sacrificial fence for all cuts that you want no tear out on the back side.

@@11211lcb Thanks Leon, I think people forget that everyone has to start their learning somewhere and KZbin videos are becoming a very common source for learning from a hobby perspective. It's always easier to understand when something is shown whilst the details are explained.

Hi Jeff. Actually, I would be interested in the option of buying these Sacrificial Blocks, ready-made by Woodpeckers, in order to save shop time! Thanks for your great work!

[@WoodpeckersLLC]

We thought about it, but in half an hour and the time it takes the glue to dry, you can make enough to last you several years.

[@henrysara7716]

Thank you Jeff

[@stevennachlas9596]

Agreed. If Woodpeckers could make these sacrificial ends available at a fairly reasonable cost, perhaps made of MDF or HPDE, I’d be interested.

[@WoodpeckersLLC]

HDPE is no longer "sacrificial". MDF is not available in a thickness that is viable. The end needs to be about 1-1/2" thick, 2" wide and 3" long. You can make these out of left over chunks of 2x4s.

[@acerjuglans383]

If you can't make this yourself, why do you own a tablesaw?

[@JeffRL1956]

Wow, nobody complained that the sacrificial end block isn't available in metric?

[@brianjsaville]

Lol. I don't mind people asking for metric stuff, but this comment is funny.

[@texasbelliott]

I would love to sit down with Jeff and enjoy some Scotch together. I'll bet he has some great stories.

[@WoodpeckersLLC]

How do you feel about bourbon?

[@VeekndWarrior]

Not all all related the sled, but is that the shorter or longer sjoberg elite?

[@harleywood9588]

I hope this sled now uses Woodpecker’s new miter bar

[@WoodpeckersLLC]

It certainly does!

No blade guard?

[@kwilliams2239]

Leaving the saw with it running? Reaching around a spinning blade? Not in my shop!
