Top class jig! I used Picciuto's design as well a few years ago, (but did it in a cheap way cos I'm cheap 😄), one change I made after using was I ended up dropping a block behind the kerf, and then screwed an offcut of clear acrylic on it, that way I can still see, but don't have to worry that the ends of my mitres are going to fly into my face. Might be handy here too.

Great video, did you know you can cut aluminum with your sawstop. There is a bypass mode that I've used when I don't want the risk the safety mechanism firing. Basically all you have to do is turn the key and hold it for 3 seconds, the saw will blink. One thing to know is you have to enter the bypass mode for each cut. Check out the manual to find the exact steps.

I really like this and I saw just last night where the original concept for this sled started from and as far as jigs go, this is the number one reason I wanted to own a table saw which I have one now but I still need to build my first cross cut sled and I appreciate the amount of innovation that went into this picture framing sled. I also noticed that the feather boards help to keep the wood pressed against the ruler and this to me looks like a safe sled to use for cutting. I do however want to cut 36” x 24” frames and wondered what it would take to make a sled for frames that big.

This sled is awesome but for those who don’t make enough frames to justify it here’s a tip. Remember that the difference between the inside dimension of a frame and the outside dimension is exactly twice the width of the front facing material. This is obvious when you think about it as there is exactly one board on each side of the inside space. This means all you have to do to work with outside dimensions instead of inside is add twice the width of the board to your desired inside dimension. Then do all your work with the outside dimension since that’s way easier to do unless you have this sled.
@charlesosborn34702 жыл бұрын
Great video as many others have suggested. As you mention, the weight is over the back of the sled which is also in the way for longer frames. How do you think it would work if the plan was inverted and rotated such that the long boards would rest over the larger portion of the table top and off to the left of the blade?

I am going to add a block to support the face and keep the material at 90...maybe more tension on the feather boards would solve this? Great video!!!!!!!

Just to be clear: Once you've made the sled,, can you cut frame pieces without putting the Sawstop into bypass mode?. That is, are the aluminum fences far enough back from the blade that it won't trigger the Sawstop brake?
@JimHester3 жыл бұрын
Like the sled. I'll have to do one of these soon to make some holiday gifts. Not sure why you couldn't make the ruler cuts with the SawStop, though. You can disengage the safety mechanism and cut the aluminum without activating the brake.
@TheNateLion3 жыл бұрын
I was thinking the same thing! Maybe he doesn't know how to enable the bypass mode? The one advantage to doing it the way he did is that he was able to cut the ruler a little short and so that he could put in the wood insert for zero clearance which will ensure that he doesn't accidentally trigger the brake when using the sled.

I like it, but have a question about the 45 degree stop block. Would it be better with a 90 degree? That way the tip has a hard stop. Yes, you would lose the ease of the ruler scale but eliminate any slop of the two 45’s shifting.

Jon Peters veneer, David P's sled... it's cool that you tip the hat. A lot of folks just try to pretend that their video on [ insert topic ] just came to them, as if from a dream. For those of us, like myself, who watch an embarrassing amount of KZbin... we always know. Ha! I do have a question though... HORWEEN LEATHER!?!? You glued down Horween leather to make a jig? Isn't that kinda like cutting up a hand woven silk gown to use as a bath mat? Ha! All jokes aside... I have been trying to find out where I can buy small amounts of horween leather for years. You always have to buy huge sides and/or spend big $$$. Where did you get those little bits?

Hi Michael. Thanks for this! Question - is there any need to align the placement of the ruler with the initial cut? Like placing something in the kerf? Or does squaring the 2 parts of the ruler take care of that?
@brainwashingdetergent43222 жыл бұрын
I can tell you what I did with mine. I made the 45° kerf cut such that the cut was on the just on the left of the 45° layout line, then I used a machinists caliper to set a combination square to 4” exactly. Then referenced the ruler to the long edge of the sled body using the 4” combo square, then the narrow part of the ruler to the short edge of the sled body. If your initial kerf cut was accurate, then the corner of the ruler (zero inches) should just touching the right side of the kerf cut.
