comp56 Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 I'm cutting 45° cuts quite often so I figured I put together a fast cross cut sled just for 45° the smaller trim stuff I can do with the Incra 1000 but it is nice to have a stoppable cross cut sled as well. I'm making two different size pieces for these boxes so I made it directly for this procedure with two different stops at the end. It sure is nice to have perfectly cut miters to build with ...here is the first box with the jig turned out perfectly..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comp56 Posted January 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 nice I like it, didn't have any issue dialing it in at all......I swapped out the plastic rings that came in the rail it to fit miter slot and it was good to go. I have a feeling they are different sizes (white ones) but hard to tell between them. once I changed it out it fit super nice..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrich1 Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 I need a crosscut sled in general. Yours looks good. I bought the plans from Nick ferry but haven't gotten to it yet. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the plans from Nick ferry but haven't gotten to it yet. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk I never gave a cross cut sled too much thought. I have bunch of 1in acrylic scraps from work that I want to make some shelves and curtain brackets out of, so a cross cut sled may be the way to go. Thanks for mentioning Nick Ferry, I watched his video and will be buying his plans. The last time I cut acrylic on my miter saw I chipped the carbide off a tooth, but I have a blade for cutting aluminum and plastics for my table saw. EDIT: Ouch there is about 200.00 worth of Kreg products in his sled. I will definitely be going a cheaper route. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could always piece it together as you go. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted February 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 ok so maybe I didn't just get lucky and actually set up the 45° cross cut sled and incra mitre gauge bang on..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
