A Simple Crosscut Sled

Make square cuts on large pieces.

A piece of 1/2″ melamine, a hardboard runner and a hardwood fence are all you need to make a crosscut sled that can accurately square large unwieldy boards as well as plywood and other sheet stock up to 24″ wide. A simple adjustment method makes it easy to precisely square the fence, and the sled has a zero-clearance edge so you can quickly and accurately align each cut.

  2. This is a very awesome video so simple & your right Dan clear explanations.

    I use plating card all the time in the shop to fine adjust miters on the mitre say or table saw as well in shimming to fit drawers & doors any where you need a tiny, precise & predictable shim.

    I will use this method on my next Crosscut Sled
