I was wondering.. Doing it the other way around amounts to just one cut, and thus does not tell us much. But given the size of the square Matt used for initial alignment, the 5-cut method was probably overkill anyway.
Nice to see someone else looking at the traditional sled and actually thinking "how can this be improved" and not immediately thinking "add more t track". I don't own one, but I've suspected for a while that the only reason most people put 2 fences on is because that's what everyone else has done and why change something so simple, well this is even simpler and safer and cleaner! Any worries about the kerf opening up because there is no secondary fence are gotten rid of by the fact that the 2 bars slide in the slots, and the riving knife also keeps it from closing up. Top points that man and to the Newbie Woodworker too.
Another great build. Just one question when doing the 5 cut method i thought you was meant to put the cut edge against the fence each time but you turned it the opposite way. Serious question by the way not a dig.
Nice build, Matt - I'm going to make one of these myself since I share the same concern about removing the blade guard. One small thing: when you were doing the 5-cut test, it looks like you rotated the test piece anti-clockwise after each cut, so the freshly cut edge wasn't against the fence for the next cut. This tests the squareness of the original piece, not of your cuts. If it ends up square after the 5th cut, you're still good (I think) but if it's a little off, the final cut won't be representative of how much adjustment you need to do.
My clone of your workshop is coming on.18mm Floors down and treated, ready to put framing up. It's been a pain getting hold of the curved corrugated roof sheets that fit 2.4m with overhang. The next job is getting hold of a good second-hand door :D.
Fantastic idea Matt this one tablesaw sled I'm definitely going to be putting together now I've seen you make it. Just goes to show how a little bit of jiggery pokery will save you tonnes of time removing part's from the tablesaw each time you need to use the tablesaw jig !!! Thanks again and as always 💯% 👍🇬🇧.
Great sled for keeping everything attached to the table.👌🏽 Good job there, Matt. 👍🏽 I agree, there are some cuts where you just needs a sled. Love Dan's channel, he's an awesome maker, wicked sense of humour, and an all round top bloke! 👍🏽
A beautifully precise jig, well manufactured Matt. Enjoy, with confidence, the cuts it makes. [which roughly means...I need to redo my rickety old sled ] Cheers
Hi Matt, that a great looking sled, you have done a fantastic job, hope you have many hours of use with it, 9hope you are keeping well during these crazy times, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia.
That's Excellent Matt. Once i get a decent Table saw, i'll definetly be making one of these. Really like the fact that it's got 2 flip stops on track. Fantastic buddy 😉
Another very good video Matt. I wish you luck with your new mitre saw, as I bought Einhell power tools a few years back and they were truly awful, so much so, that I will have nothing to do with the brand anymore!
I've made three sleds over the past handful of years and the fences on all of them have warped. I might need to try this method with the full 2x4 support behind!
Just an idea..why not laminate some ply to similar measurements of the 4X2 ? It would be far less liable to warping. should stay stable and would be even stronger I think..
@@MrCassbren the last one I built was with 2 layers of 3/4 (19mm) ply and it still warped! I have up on the sled and bought a precision miter guage. BUT, I think you might be on to something. If I use ply as the brace behind the fence, it would never warp along it's width!
Pretty nice work, dude. Seems great! 😃 I need to make one as well... And I'm going to use some of your ideas! Thanks! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Hi Matt, I am just in the process of making this sled. It looks like you have more of the sled to the right of the saw blade. Was this just to reflect the width of your table or did you have a reason for this? Thanks Brian
Hi Matt, I used the same UKJ guides as you but I find that the grub screws are just to slack and keep loosening making them a bit useless to get a snug fit. Gave you had a similar problem and if so did you find a solution?
Hi mat, thanks as always for the content, just one question please if you would. Your table saw is the 216 compared to the 254 version right? When using your sled do you feel you have enough cutting depth or have to flip wood around to cut through larger pieces. Or do you just go to the bandsaw instead? Im interested in the axminster tables but of course the larger version is more pennies. Many thanks, Col.
Hi Matt, Just discovered your video. I'm sure you have mentioned what the table saw is but my search drew a blank. Looks like a cast iron table? Regards, Andrew

Nice job shouting out Dan from Newbie Woodworker! He's such a source of wholesome energy in the maker community.
Great video, and thankyou for pronouncing it "shamfer".
I'm pretty sure when doing the 5 cut test, you should place the cut against the fence each time.
I was wondering..
Doing it the other way around amounts to just one cut, and thus does not tell us much. But given the size of the square Matt used for initial alignment, the 5-cut method was probably overkill anyway.
Top video pal. One thing to note. You've a bulb out on your arrow sign. Stay safe.

Good design.
Excellent and being new in wood working removing the blade guard seemed pretty scary. Thanks to both you and Dan from Newbie
Matt, great project , structured approach. 👍👍👍
Thank you
Looks great neat solution thanks for sharing

Nice sled although i would have avoided pine personally as no matter how dry you think it is in my experience it’ll twist/bow etc.
Brilliant! Nice sled!
Thank you
Nice build Matt
Thank you
Your videos are so good Matt, thanks! 👍
Thanks Matt. It's on my project list. :-)

Love it. Will be copying that! Thank you 😊
Great stuff. Cheers Matt. 👍🏼

As always it’s great material. I come away with a as new insight
Thanks.
Thank you very much
That's great I have the same table saw and will be making a sled like that soon
Great sled for keeping everything attached to the table.👌🏽
Good job there, Matt. 👍🏽
I agree, there are some cuts where you just needs a sled.
Love Dan's channel, he's an awesome maker, wicked sense of humour, and an all round top bloke! 👍🏽
That’s Bill. Yes he is good
Always useful jig to have. Use mine all the time. Great video.
Thank you
Nicely thought out sled that bud.
Thank you very much
Good build Matt!
Thank you
I love how simple this is, definitely going to give this a go for my table saw - Little Garage Woodshop
Fantastic video as always really need to improve my sled

Thank you Les
Lovely job Matt ,workshop looking organised not jealous at all.
Thank you
Great video. I have two 12 inch aluminium runners. What would be a sensible length for my base
That's Excellent Matt. Once i get a decent Table saw, i'll definetly be making one of these. Really like the fact that it's got 2 flip stops on track. Fantastic buddy 😉
The two stops are very handy
Nice job matt looks tidy , I really need to remake a sled mines seen better days now...... I'll have a look at the parts you used cheers 🍻👍
Thank you

That’s a great idea, I’ve just picked up a second hand Axminster hobby table saw so this is perfect timing. Thanks for sharing 👍
It’s a great saw
Pretty nice work, dude. Seems great! 😃
I need to make one as well... And I'm going to use some of your ideas! Thanks!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you
Very useful. I must admit I hate removing the guard from my saw and I try to find other ways of making those cuts if I can.
Thank you

How are you getting on with your dust collection, ordered one today using your code after you video. Excited to install it!
It’s working great

If I’m cutting thick prices I use the mitre gauge then I get the full depth of cut
Matt can I ask you what your thicknesser planer is. Many thanks steve 👨🏼🦽
It’s made my metabo

Hi Matt, was that your wood blade you used to cut the aluminium ??
Yes it was
A use for 5 penny piece, I have always detested those tiny things, as far as I was concerned they were made to make holes in pockets so you would have to buy new cloths because all your pockets didn’t hold anything because once you have a hole it gets bigger and bigger until you mobile phone falls out.
Not seen you for a while, you having a workshop makeover?
Ps where’s the link to the stops n rails ?
Did it at the start of the year. Tools I use

I cant believe that you have had the table saw for a year lol
Yes and still like it
I thought exactly the same thing, LoL
@@sidfinley6087 in badger table saw years, that’s got to be at least 5!
Surely your due a replacement table saw matt😉😉😉😉 great video. Overall you happy with the saw. Doesn’t struggle etc. I’m on the lookout.
