Wedgie/ Miter Sled (Free Templates)

[@johngrace199]

I've done a handful of segmented bowls in the past but admittedly, stopped doing so because they're so tedious and time consuming. Your video was extremely well done and you've given me a number of ideas on how to easily begin doing segmented pieces again. Great job...thanks, John

[@josecaratachea1047]

Bro from a mexican in canada .bro your an amazing carpenter and bright engeneer .my respect .

[@corey800]

by far the simplest and easiest guy to follow, awesome job and great explanation

[@makaipost260]

The fact that you randomly have "magic" in your videos cracks me up.

[@JeremyMcMahan]

Very nice. That little ramp is genius too!

[@derekjanzen9745]

1:57 is so satisfying. I love it when things fit. Matthias and you have inspired me to start woodworking. Thank you for all your hard work on your videos! (You could make a video about all the behind the scenes work. Camera setup, editing etc.)

[@BrassLock]

Thanks Marius, I learned a lot from you today. Also great that you had the original design linked too, so now I understand the whole developmental sequence.

[@williamdowling7718]

Wow.. I am truly bummed that it took me this long to find your channel. This is absolute top quality content. Your ingenuity, critical thinking, and problem solving skills are inspiring. I can't wait until my son is old enough that I can share your videos with him.

[@gordroberts53]

Thank you Marius. I appreciate your generosity of time and ingenuity. Take good care, Gord

[@georges8348]

Smart, humorous and informative. And I'm not laughing (out loud) at your out takes, I'm laughing with your out takes. Who hasn't pulled a board off the drill press using drill bit levitation? G.

[@AltayGENC]

"the convenient storage place" idea is highly practical.

[@lylekobberstad8571]

Great build and I always look forward to the outtakes.

[@grantham418]

Great video. A forstner bit works great on plastics because it doesn't have a spiral helix and can't turn your work into a propeller. Enjoy your out takes!

[@nicktecky55]

I'm sure Marius just forgot to say, but it is a mistake I've heard on other sites. This works for a segmented bowl, you are removing the surfaces, so you don't have to align the edges of the cut pieces. But, for a mitred picture frame this is not good enough. You have to be able to line up both edges of the mitres on each the four pieces, as well as the mitre surfaces. The only way to do that is to accurately align the fences at 45° to the cut. It is clear that if you cut at two different angles across a parallel piece, the cuts will be of different lengths, it will therefore be impossible to match both inside and outside edges. William Ng's sled is aligned to one thou over about two feet, or accurate to one four-hundredth of a degree, roughly.

[@vectors2final36]

Oooh...I really like that storage bracket. I'm gonna make one of those for my small crosscut sled!

[@melvinparker7133]

Hi Marius,recently made the sled as per your video,it's great ! I am going to make your adjustable wedgie but for the first trial I used a 30 degree set square.It was very accurate. I then figured that if you clamp the sled vertically on edge , you can use a digital inclinometer (wixey) to set the arms. Zero on the lower arm and then set the upper arm with the wixey exactly and clamp. It works with any angle and you can set your adjustable wedgies by putting them between the arms to calibrate them and glue them to the right angle. Should cut down on the trials to get them right. Love your videos thanks for all you do.

[@MariusHornberger]

that's a pretty awesome idea to set the angle. I'll keep that in mind for when I have a one of these inclinometers.

[@billgiles3261]

Thanks, I’ve watched several wegie sled videos, this is one of the best.

[@psbdavewood]

Very helpful and well presented. Nice to see a version working with a european style sliding chariot table saw / combi machine.

[@terry2346]

Really like your cut off ramp. I made a drop in zero clearance insert for my Craftsman table saw but I like your idea much better!

[@n8guy]

Really cool! One thought on using the printed template: no need to trim that first edge with scissors, so long as it's parallel to the edge of the paper. One may achieve more accuracy more quickly that way. Anyway, awesome project!!

I love the outtakes! That's pretty much how it always goes in my workshop. Of course, it's easy to edit that out on a KZbin video.

[@CarlJacobson]

Great build Marius! I really enjoyed the video production too.

[@MariusHornberger]

Thanks Carl!

[@ZeedijkMike]

Love the way you think and work. Always a pleasure to watch your videos.

[@colinwilson7524]

love the outtakes mate, always amusing. Great project as well

[@cedricsoblet2960]

Great video editing! I love the caliper display insertions. Well done.

[@dawabbitt3079]

Great video! - You exhibit exceptional talent for fabrication and design.

[@dominiqueforrer2087]

Just amazing... You will surely go far with your passion my friend, you are one of my top woodworkers 👍

[@rafalmag]

Great video and idea to make the miters accurate. However there is one important "feature", 6:30 - when you set the 90 degrees, the jig guarantees that the sum of both cuts would be 90, however the individual angles might be not exact. To exaggerate a bit, you could as well set one to 30, other to 60 and they would still perfectly fit for picture frame.

[@theweepinghunter]

Thank you for the outtakes made me feel better

[@tonymathesonxvs11001]

I'm a little late at this video. Thanks for the post Marius. I've already watched all of Jerry Bennet's videos, they're a great source of information and inspiration for anyone wanting to get into segment turning. Thanks also for your free templates and files. Regards and best wishes, Tony.

[@Tugmun11]

yes another super video. the wedgie sled storage don't give up, you could consider a deeper upper channel say 25 mm and 10mm lower. So rather than sliding in from the side, as you approach the cabinet from the front, slip the upper edge under the 25 mm lip, and then drop the bottom edge in the 10 mm trough and poof your done. The only other consideration as you might guess is the overall deck length, is short enough to slip in there and long enough to not fall out. I bet you knew that. Great video keep'm commin... I really enjoy your channel...

[@samueljacob2973]

very clever video editing and of course brilliant engineering

[@andi.popescu]

Outakes were really funny, especially the last one. Thanks for sharing!

[@dtwistrewind7361]

Quick tip if you cut a slot or slide in MDF that will have a lot of use, cover the surface with super glue it will soak straight in and make it hard as nails.

[@mikeplyler1090]

Haven't seen your videos before, but will watch more! Great project and well explained. And for the first time ever, a woodworking video made me laugh. Love the outtakes!

[@OllyParryJones]

So many great ideas in this video and I admire your decision to keep the riving knife in place. :-)

[@markharding6582]

Interesting table-saw with that carriage moving the piece. very nice.

[@gregaltenhofel7326]

Great build. I got behind watching because of the flood here in Baton Rouge, LA nice to come back and have a couple from you. We got lucky and didn't get any water inside but, many friends not so lucky.

[@Hallworks]

such a genius

[@Stevenswoodworking]

Hi Marius - Your videos are great! I enjoy watching them. In regards to routing MDF or any material - to help prevent the MDF leaving a 'bur' or chipping at the top from routing, you can use a compression cutter in the CNC. The cutter cuts down and up. This is most important when routing material such as melamine. Keep the videos coming!

[@MariusHornberger]

Thanks for the tip.

[@brianknowles7130]

Yet another very good vid. It's a joy to watch what you do and informative.Even the out takes are good. Much envy from here in the UK.

[@derKarl_stp]

Marius... bei den Outtakes passt was auf englisch ganz gut dazu... der Moment wo der "Wedgie-Sled" sich selbst verkeilt (wedged) hat so in der Art vonwegen: "And the wedgie sled just wedged itself" Schönes Video... ich hab leider keine entsprechende Säge noch bin ich n Holzdreher, aber ich werd mir evtl. eine Art Winkellehre für meine gebräuchlichsten Winkel auf der Kappsäge machen, ähnlich deinem Verstelldesign... vor allem weil meine ja in 2 Achsen vollverstellbar ist (und meine Winkellehre leider ohne Gradskala immer manuell vorher eingestellt werden muss und dann eh wieder zu hoch ist) ;)

[@TheWoodenRider]

Thank you Marius, I was looking for something like this for a while

[@robmckennie4203]

here's a challenge for you Marius, make a hinged sine plate for setting the wedgie sled. If you design it to be set with the calipers, you could set it to any arbitrary angle you like, quite accurately, literally in seconds.

[@drail80s]

All your outtakes are excellent along with good builds Thanks

[@JimsonMakes]

Nicely built Marius. I just wish I had room for a table saw , or perhaps I don't , I have too many projects on my list already ! Great video production too. All the best, Jim.

[@chartle1]

I'm looping back thru all the wedgie sled videos I watched a year or so ago and in rewatching this could you have just come up with a way to attach the sled to your sliding table? It already has precise guides on it.

[@GlassImpressions]

Marius, another great video! A little insight on your CNC bit...the bit you are using is incorrect. MDF CNCs very smooth. Look into the correct bit for the right material! Will save you a lot of time and also produce better results.

[@MariusHornberger]

Thanks. I'll try a better suited bit next time. I probably already have the right one, but was too lazy to change it...

[@jorgenlannock]

yes, you are correct about the bit.

[@superdau]

The problem is that you are using an spiral upcut router bit. While they are good at clearing chips (which you don't have, since last time I tried MDF just turned into ugly dust ;) ), they will rip the surface. Get a straight cut or spiral downcut bit.

[@GlassImpressions]

+superdau that is part of the problem but he is using a bit that is meant for metal..

[@jorgenlannock]

when i do mdf i use a straight double flute. btw always make sure they are sharp lol.

[@je7630]

Very nice and smooth build! But why did you change the shape of one fens to make room for wider stock? You won't have a problem with it if you cut it on both outsides of the fenses if you know what I mean. The angle of the stock will be the same and you can use every size of stock.

[@Gantzz321]

he did it to get both passes on the front side of the fences, instead of having to use his hands to grip it tightly against the back side of the rear fence.

[@GaryTruesdale]

Nice precise work on that fixture Marius

[@anklebiterwoodworks2818]

Cool sled. Thanks for explaining so thoroughly.

[@Funkilover82]

Tolles Video, vielen Dank! Wollte dich schon lange mal fragen welche Bohrmaschine du benutzt und ob du diese empfehlen kannst?

[@robertjohnston1628]

I have a question and I can't seem to find an answer. My question is about the wood stop or gauge of the size of the wedgies cut. How can I find out how deep or what is the right depth to set the wood stop to cut for each wedgie segment?

[@Wordsnwood]

Good design!

[@manialna4419]

Hi I have question. Is the wood durable enough if I use it for spot welding jig??

[@TheKJVpreacher]

Very good video! And I love your "bloopers" section!

[@borgpunx]

Best video skills so far. Nice job.

[@marcintolas572]

still impresively clever. thanks for another good tut

[@thomasschurmann322]

Very nice. Thanks. The right video to the right time!

[@leapinglemurcraftworks6426]

Nice job. Just getting my lathe up and running so this will be handy. Scott

[@windsongdj]

Your a great diy videographer. And funny outtakes

[@harrykline3998]

Well done Marius, great instruction and explanations. Also...I love the outtakes!

[@robertwhitecotton1984]

Thank you for a great demonstration of how to make a wedgie sled, easy and affordable. I do have one questions if I may ask. The piece of wood that you would use to cut each wedgie what are the measurements you use?

[@worshipmelody1]

Great video Marius! I really enjoyed the making of the jig! A lot to learn from it!

[@mattwragg6966]

do you prefer drill drivers or impact drivers

[@MrCasutherland]

Love your work Marius.

[@RICKYDENNIS49]

Great video. I noticed that hi tech looking wood plane you were using. Would you be good enough to let me know the make of it please. Many thanks.

[@MariusHornberger]

It's a RALI 220 Evolution plane

[@RICKYDENNIS49]

@@MariusHornberger Many thanks

[@cbkipper]

Hi Marius, Thanks for an excellent clear and easy to follow video. The sled will be my next project which I'm sure will be more accurate than my mitre saw. Thanks also for the free wedgie plans, very useful. Please keep up your brilliant videos.

[@leksey7870]

Great video. Shows in detail the whole process. Like!

[@prlswabbie]

your videos are always top notch. Great content and well thought out projects. I hope you channel continues to grow! The outtakes are also one of my favorite parts. You do great work, keep it up!

[@adl1956]

what are the details of the plane tool you used to shave the corners off the HDPE please?

[@MrNewcast]

Like your last out take. We've all been there. But great idea, I will try.

[@georgevalente4223]

Can you make an 8 segment closed ring that is 13" wide? 8 segments and the platter is 13 inches wide.

[@FrontierlessCraftsman]

Top notch build Marius, very enjoyable video to watch too!

[@btgame1836]

Really nest video n where's the plans found

[@MrTako-kf6on]

Good to see a new video. Keep 'em coming.

[@ShortyzProductionz]

Hahahaha, your outtakes this one were hilarious. I have the problem of the plastic getting pulled up all the time as well

[@ilovewood79]

Well done. Impressive young man.

[@TimeWellSpentHere]

That dust collection attachment on the CNC is brilliant! I often ask myself why every woodworking youtuber has to sit by with a vacuum cleaner. Have you build it yourself, and was it inspired by Matthias Wandel's pantorouter dust collection?

[@Pete.G]

He has a video from 3months ago that shows how it was made :)

[@TimeWellSpentHere]

Pete G Thank you for the help. I'm pretty new to this channel, but will make sure to find the video.

[@bobwilcox2243]

Marius, Was hoping to download the wedgie template, but the link appears broken. Can you repost it please?

[@BFran89]

marius, you are a great teacher, Thanks

[@troyconnor8655]

having a bit of trouble downloading the plans for this jig I downloaded the bevil grinder plans and had to set up a dropbox account to gain access to them and now when ever I click a link for dropbox including this link it only shows the bevil grinder image. can you assist

[@Oscaro9928]

How large is the base and what are the dimensions if the two “arms”?

[@bluestarindustrialarts7712]

Great video, love the out takes. I made one of these for my small bandsaw

[@jean-paulroy1009]

Great job and real easy to understand. I will definitly make one. Thanks for sharing

[@TheDirtFighter]

Great video and great jig!! Thanks for the outtakes too...Makes me feel a little better about my (many) mistakes =)

[@JamesCoyle95]

I think I would have rounded off the ends of the fences to make it look a bit nicer and have more clearance between them. Would be interesting to see how this concept could be improved. Perhaps by adding some sort of mechanical linkage between the fences so an angle set on one is mirrored on the other.

[@HeimwerkerDeluxe]

Thumbs up for the outtakes!

[@MojeToczenieBartoszSokoow]

Nice work Marius

[@marykedykhuizen6902]

Excellent video once again. Thanks for the template

[@jonathancook4022]

Im soooooo surprised Matthias did not come up with this idea first!!!

[@1974HondaCB350F]

Awesome video! You must put in so much time recording and editing these clips. Thank you very much. I learned a lot watching :)

[@solobassoon]

At 8:21, why did you cut the line on the paper? I think it would be easier just to use the original edge of the paper.

[@konaok1]

Just Brilliant! You made my day with this project. Off to the shop. Thanks!

[@ErikAnderson1]

Nice Job!

[@scott98390]

Marius, what kind of factory had the scrap polyethylene? I'd like to see if I can scare some up from someone locally... free stuff is always awesome.

[@MariusHornberger]

All I know is that they make custom shapes for their clients. Someone told me that they had this material and I asked for leftover stuff.

[@ghostwheelppk]

Video request: Could you do a video that goes into more detail on the Rali 220 Evolution? I watched this video 5 years ago, but I didn’t catch the few frames where you used the plane. Now upon revisiting the wedgie sled, it has piqued my curiosity about the hand plane. Thank you do much for your content. The internet is a better place because of it.

[@berniesr]

great project and amusing as always

[@keithsshop6559]

Very slick Marius.

[@Xyienced]

Very slick storage
