You could also use a track saw or a circular saw guide so the blade cuts as close to the edge as you can. Provided it's on a 1x8 or 2x8 with enough surface to support the track. But then again, I rip my own 2x4's anyways.
This is not a bad idea for a table saw jig for those people without a jointer. Good idea to make it zero clearance, as that will help with aligning boards for the saw cut, and may reduce splintering. That said, the clamping system for this jig is more complicated than it needs to be. If you have a 14 degree dovetail router bit, all that you need to do is use that router bit to make a couple of 3/8" deep passes across the width of 3/4" plywood. Microjig makes a two pack of quick action squeeze clamps (DVC-625QCK2, currently sell on Amazon for $39 USD for the pair), which will use those dovetail slots to hold the clamps in place. Those clamps look a bit like plastic toys, but I have used them with good success with various jigs on a PantoRouter, and have found them to work very well. If the cost of those clamps is too high, Mcrojig makes hardware (DV-HL1.5K6) that will slide through those same dovetail slots, permitting you to create a wood fence or hold down (Amazon sells a six pack for $16). If you do not have a 14 degree dovetail router bit, Microjig makes a kit (DVC-1177K2+MB-050-025ST) that includes a straight router bit to create a relief cut for the dovetail bit, a 14 degree dovetail bit, two screw type clamps, a jig for setting the router bit depth, and a few hold downs that may be used for wood fences. I have bought all three Microjig items to use with a custom made half-blind dovetail jig for the PantoRouter. T-track and T-track compatible clamps might also work, but the overall cost may be higher.
I would greatly appreciate it if you make this again for beginners for dummies. And just a suggestion I would be awesome to have camera (top view). Thanks again. Gonna try to make this hopefully.
Good jig. Just a little doubt, how well do those clamps hold the board to be straightened. Because clamping makes the sled to cup, even if just a little. And the harder we turn the clamp handle, the more noticeable the cupping will be.
It sounds like you're tightening the clamps a bit too much. I haven’t experienced cupping, but I think loosening the clamp pressure just a bit might make a difference for you.

Excellent! Great design&well built. You need an infeed table and possibly an outfeed too. Nice job. I'll be building one soon. Thanks.
Really enjoyed this video thank you

Perhaps make the handle higher so that the clamps can go under 🤔
Did you ever hear of a fender washer?
That's what I was thinking 😂
Your fingers looked like they were in an outrageously dangerous position on the router table
Did you ever hear of a fender washer?
I was thinking about that too. But I think they are thicker than 1/16th.
