Making a table saw sled or crosscut sled lets you get safe, repeatable, accurate cuts with your saw. My old table saw sled was worn out and didn’t have a integrated stop block. So I made a new one with a sliding stop block and some nice little features. I’ll also show you how to square your cross cut sled using a simplified version of the 5 cut method that doesn’t require all the math. #woodworking #tablesawsled #crosscutsled

Anyone? Just making sure of depth of my table top is only 21 inches, it’s ok to have a sled depth of 24 inches
Thank you for these free plans! I am fairly new to woodworking and wanted a workhorse table saw sled. This build will be a challenge for me but I am excited to get started and now have workable plans. And with your video I think I can get it done. Cudos!
Just made this and it is such a huge improvement over my last sled! Thank you so much for the free plans! Got mine to about .00012" of error over a 10" length :) Was very pleased!
Another great video. I always love how you use plan English to explain the processes and the way you show your try and errors. Keep it up please. X
I was planning to make a new table saw sled, and decided to look for a video while eating lunch, not expecting to learn anything. I have to say I’m impressed with this video! The method to square the back fence is one I have not seen before, and I’m sure it will lead to a squarer sled than I would have had. I also like the super glue method to hold the rails in place until the sled can be flipped and the rails properly attached. Thank you for making this!
I've recently watched 5 million videos about making crosscut sleds. This one is the best! Thanks a lot. (I'm modifying mine to use the katzmoses stop block method though.)
I’ve watched 5.5 million videos 😜
@@camofpv Oh yeah? I've watched 5.7 million!
Where did you find the time to watch 5 million videos? How old are you?
Awesome video. Refreshing to see someone use blocks and guides while cutting on the table saw to protect the fingers... safety first!
Really appreciating the "or you could do it this way if you don't have this fancy tool" asides.
I just finished building this a few days ago. Man, I'm so happy I did. This thing is going to get so much use. It's making life so much easier. The plans were awesome, so thanks for that! The only thing I'm thinking of now is how to insert more tracks on the sled for adding jigs like a miter jig.
I have made a crosscut sled before but its not all that great. This one looks like a winner to me. Thanks for sharing your plans. I have been watching your videos for a few months and learning different techniques from you. Thanks again.
Made this sled, works perfectly. Makes cutting so much quicker. Cheers.
Great video Brad! Planning to make one this weekend appreciate all your contributions to the woodworking community
Finished mine tonight! Thanks a lot, great design. I got lucky and nailed the angle the first time, though, so no need for feeler gauge!
Very impressive.
Well, compared to all the other tutorials on YT this build came with the least amount of therapy, so I'm going with your design.
Cheers brother
I never built a Jig before and watching you video and with your plans made this cross cut jig even with the T track and stop block. Used it this weekend to make 4 cutting boards worked like a champ. Thanks
Fantastic. Everyone posts 30 second fast forwarded videos without describing what they are doing.
Thanks for the free plans.
Thanks man! I made the sled and it works perfectly. Best design out there in my opinion. It is a game changer and I should have done this years ago.
I built one of these for my new cabinet saw and it is awesome. I can't wait to put it to use on some pending projects. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for this video and plans
I downed loaded your plans today. THANK YOU for the easy design and free plans. I’ve been meaning to make a sled for a long time and your video and free plans gave me the motivation to finally get it done.
I never knew about a sled for table saws till today! Thank you so much for the great video and the insightful explanation!
Thank you for making this. I used your video for guidance in making my first sled and it worked out beautifully. Your technique for truing the fence was really helpful, it came out more precise than I thought it would!

Hey man your videos are great. I just built this table sled and it came out perfectly. Thanks for the amazing video and the printable plans.
I am in love with your shop!!! Amazing video and great explanating, lol. Can't wait to acquire a shop like yours! Keep your thumbs and stay safe.
Awesome video!
Thank you so much for explaining which direction to move the fence when adjusting to get it square to the blade. A lot of videos I’ve seen seem to skip this very important detail.
Just a tip that came to me while building this sled... In order to assist with "squaring" the back fence with the blade, place a couple LARGE flat washers (spread out as far as possible) in the initial saw cut and butt your square up against these flat washers that are sticking up out of the initial saw cut. Then squaring the back fence is actually pretty precise.
Would this be any different than raising the blade and using the square against it?
Would be nice to see this in a video. Kinda hard to picture what your saying to do.
@@jayj4ysmith He's saying instead of trying to align the square with the saw cut by eye, have something flat sticking up out of the cut line to butt your square up against.
what?
@@bobthomas8342 not an english native speaker, so still hard to understand. Should washer be placed under square end that is placed on the side of blade? Is that the idea?
Clamp flip. Wood Dude Perfect.
😜
I’m so glad you kept it simple 😅
A very well thought out design and great instructional pace! Thank you.
Very good and comprehensive plan to build a simple table saw crosscut sled. Thank you!
Your information is appreciated. Thank you
I love your workshop. A lot of great woodworking machines.
Hey man, great video. Thanks for putting it up. I am in the process of building one of these and your explanation of everything has been great.
This video is incredible. The step by step instructions and correcting the tiny error with that 5 cut process was great! Thank you for showing that.
It's a great technique William NG shared with us!
Thanks Fred very much appreciated, will build your sled tomorrow, your links are very helpful.
All the very best over there. Hope you are all well.
This video was extremely succinct and helpful. Thank you!
Thanks Fred for a great video and easy to follow directions also thanks for the free plan, made a small sled now i am going to make yours, thanks and keep the videos coming, its really a nice sled.
I love the last part the safety block, Great idea
Just bought a new table saw and this will be my first build with it!
Thank you. This looks great and I appreciate the free plans! I’ll next be looking at buying your flip top design for my planer and something TBD.
Great vid. Clear and uncomplicated project. Thanks for the plans.
Super easy demo to follow. I will be using your sled.
Thanks for the free plans! ;)
Nice sled...and of course with that kind of tools everything looks “simple”!😉
Really appreciate all your videos. Made my own Ted the Sled today!
Dude, Great design! This has me re thinking my plan completely!
"Simple" LOL Thanks for this!
This has been on my todo list for far too long, thanks for the reminder 👌
You can knock it out in an evening!
LOL! Same here...I was supposed to make something like this last year...I like this design though. Great video
Lovely gift. Actually after printing your plans I get to appreciate your job a lot more. Long time subscriber. Thank you.
Excellent instructions for us beginners
Looks like a great Saturday project. Nice job. Thanks for free plans!!
Great explanation of how to build a sled and I will be building this, thanks!
Thanks for the video and the plans. Keep fixing and building! Great work bro!!
Thanks for the plans. Regards from Panama City Panama
Nice Job Brad! Easy to follow. Really liked your method.
Welcome to the family, Fred!
I like the look of the first one. Much easier.
Excellent sled!!!! I just ordered t track and have left over...Building my own sled today...Thanks again for sharing..Cheers Jeff
Awesome, Jeff! Hope it turned out well
This is the saw table I wish to see the best. Thank you so much! I will follow to get it.
Just finished mine tonight, looks n feels awesome
This is perfect for what I need to do. Thanks.
I was making some fixtures for my french cleat wall. I was cutting small squares on my table saw. I got really bad kick back, the piece of wood flew across my shop and punctured a huge crack in a can of CA glue activator, spraying all over the place. So, now I'm here! Thank you for the simple functional design and video. This will be my project for the day.
Lots of techniques and tips in this well made video. Thanks
So satisfying omg 🙂🙂
Just completed new sled. My old one was not quite square. I did my initial placing of the back fence using my igaging engineer's square and then did the five cuts to check for square and found that I was only .009" out and dividing by four comes out to .00225" deviation from square. I was amazed to see the measurement and redid the cuts with essentially the same result. After doing just a tiny bit of basic math, I quickly decided to put in the rest of the screws and call it done.
Thank you for the great video. Please, keep'em coming.
This is the year I finally build one. Thanks for the inspiration.
How about this weekend! Git er done!
Great work. Thank you for sharing the plans.
Great build and great tip on the 5 cut method for hitting your mark! Thanks for sharing Brad!
Thanks Casey! Figured it's a lot easier than doing all the rest of that work.
Thanks, this is awesome and the sled I'm going to build.
I know this is a video from 2 years ago but I just made adjustments to my original sled to make yours! Thanks!
Thanks for the plans...I'm looking forward to making this!
A work of art
This is a great speed. Thank you for the video and the plans.
Thanks you so much for this great idea...you made it look very simple to make.
Thanks!
Great TS sled! I always enjoy your videos. Thanks
As a long-time woodworker, this might be my favorite channel ever...and yes, I just finished building this...would upload pics if YT would allow it!
I didn`t intend to make use of this woodworking book, *TopFineWoodworking. Com* but rather curious about it. I had been truly amazed right after trying it. It never disappointed me in my wish to acquire more information about the art of wood working. Many topics were covered, including everything from wood types to developing your workshop.?
Great tutorial! Best sled design I've seen. And thanks for no annoying music, barking dogs or screaming children.
I make up for it with the bad jokes :)
Thanks for the free plan. I purchased and built the flip top station plans a while ago.
This will be my next project for my shop, thank you to sharing you plan!
You're welcome!
Just saw your video. Nice job. Kept it simple. I appreciate the free plans. Just downloaded them. Going to give it a try. Really wanted a sled. Thanks
after the first 3 minutes, there are some advance things going on and with fancy equipment which I don't own. But I try this to do this with what I got. Thanks for sharing.
pretty simple sled. but if I have just table saw, hummer & screwdriver I'm screwed to make this simple. I do not have a single clump & the glue. But I have many many screws worth of $800.
@@alexk6745 You don't have to use ply to make the fence though. You could use a piece of 4x8". The most important thing about the sled is that it's square, all the rest are nice to haves.
I will make this. but add a dust port into the safety block. Thanks
Nice vid & nice build. I like your simplified 5-cut process. Thanks for the plans!
Holy mother of math... that entire bit... WHOOSH!
Thanks so much for making this video. Great simple design!
Thanks, Mark!
Dave Bergman was one of my favorite Detroit Tigers growing up 👍🏻
I saw a lot of Tiger games back in that era with Sparky Anderson and team!
Thank you, I like the way you do your videos. I'm off to make a Fred Sled, thanks for the links!
Your shop is amazing!
Great job! I’m due for an upgrade.
This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks very much
6:15 This is a nice detail. 8:20 Nice method of squaring the fence.
Thank you for your entertaining instruction.
Time to make this cause my current one was my first and it has been nice but it’s time for it to serve other purposes lol. Thank you for the nice and simple video and plans!
Just the right amount of info and dad jokes. Subscribed!
Thanks!
excellent presentation... thanks and God Bless !
Thanks for the free plans man! Cooler thing is that I discovered there's a Woodcraft store about 40 mins from me! So I'm pumped about that too
wow! well done mate! thank you for sharing the video and great job!
After watching a dozen of videos this is the one I will build. Love it.
As an amateur with woodworker, I typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement. Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness [Link Here== *TopFineWoodworking. Com* . I now work like a genius. That is great!?
Thank you soon much. Can’t wait to build this sled
