Cross cut sled - Variation on a theme
Greetings all.. I've been surfing trying to find videos on woodworking (and yes I do have the forum Vids already) and stumbled across this video. I searched the other month for cross cut sleds and did not find a reference to this style.. I know it would have its limitations especially in terms ripping wide stock quickly but I like the idea anyway.
any way enough waffle here is the link to the vid

My main concern with that style of sled is that there's no support for the offcut piece, so there's always the risk of a bit of "breakout" at the end of the cut.
Nor do I particularly like the idea of screw holes in the table-top, although that can be worked around by simply using a runner in the mitre slot instead.

With the fence at the front, it could be awkward controlling the work whilst pushing the jig forward, and you would be leaning way over the table to get past the blade. If the fence is at the other end, it does the work of pushing the work, which make it easier to control it, and it's not a long reach to get the work through the saw.

ah ha! Ive been ripped again. Here is the better quality original.
I understand what you mean Skew and it was a concern of mine too. As the 'inventor' of this sled, in the 2-3 years that I used it not once did an off-cut jam or bind. I might be reading you wrong though.
The reason I made the guide and fixed it to the table top was because the mitre slot is a sloppy POS pressed steel. Don't get me wrong though, it was awesome for my first saw and did a lot of work.
he he, beat me to it.
This style is the same as professional Panel Saws styles which I and millions of others around the globe use everyday. It is the industry standard, and someone else can debate the reasons for and against.I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
