Answers: How do you build a crosscut sled for a table saw?

• Table saw crosscut sled construction
• Installing T-tracks in shop-built jigs
• Making miter slot runners from hardwood
• Squaring a crosscut sled

What it concludes

• A pre-finished plywood surface allows the sled and lumber to slide smoothly on the table saw.
• Hardwood miter slot runners should move freely without racking side to side.
• Countersinking screw holes in the runners prevents screw heads from sticking out and dragging on the table saw.
• Using shims and checking with a square ensures the fence is perfectly square to the blade.
• The Jonathan Katz-Moses stop works in combination with the custom crosscut sled.
