Excellent video thank you, I'll definitely be making one of these! I think I'll stick a sheet of sandpaper on mine to stop the wood that's being cut from skidding about on the MDF though, I did that on another jig and it works really well 👍

[@genejarussi3731]

Thank you. I am neurotic about "perfect" angles and this looks like a simple but reliable "tool."

[@LouisS-cs7bh]

Excellent presentation. Easy to follow and very good information!! Thanks

Starting my Saturday morning by enjoying a cup of coffee while watching TodaysCraftsmen-a great way to begin the day!

I need one of those silver Woodpeckers!

[@davebauerart]

I’ve been needing one of these forever. Thanks!

Thanks for the tip of using the fence to make sure piece is square to runners.

Great video. My only comment is I've made 3 of similar design.. Made 1 of mdf,, over time the far side, side closest to the blade warped..Actually one side at very end slightly rose higher.. But it's a much bigger sled.. Made another from plywood. Same result eventually.

Great simple jig. I’m gonna make a bigger one with a taller fence for some box work. Thanks boys.

I love your humor!

[@danyodice1048]

Cool info as always thanks gents...🤘🤘🤘

[@sapelesteve]

Well done Jeff! I have made a few of those of various sizes. As long a you follow the procedures that you have outlined, the miter sled is very easy to make. 👍👍

I'm actually impressed about the sawstop tolerances, wouldn't have expected the sled to fit on another saw as just a mm off would have lead to binding

[@jimrosson6702]

Great video very great little jig going to try making one could come in very handy. Thanks for sharing

[@gowenrv3762]

I saw this sled on an earlier video... (guess I missed this one) LOL

[@vernsteinbrecker3759]

You made it look so easy

[@AshtonMillworks]

That is useful, I use a guillotine for fussy stuff, but this is fast! I am going to borrow some ideas from your tenoning jig! Great channel! ❤

[@rickculpepper709]

Good stuff

[@weideworks]

Question -- If you're making items thin enough for the height of the table saw to reach, could you add height to one side of your jig and cut two pieces simultaneously to get your miter?

[@williamellis8993]

Great idea, great technique to build, Jeff. I see you used the Jon Peters method of marking the center of the runners lol.
