Easy Table Saw Sled With A Stop Block/ DIY Woodworking/5 Cut Method Explained
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 авг 2024
- A table saw sled is a must have tool in any shop. In this video I will show you how to make a crosscut sled with an integrated stop block. I can't believe I waited this long to make one!
I used 3/4" plywood to make the body of the table saw sled and added a Kreg Mini Track to the back fence as well as the base of the sled. The stop block utilizes a knob and T-bolt kit from Woodpeckers.
I also go into detail explaining the 5 cut method to dial in the accuracy of the cuts made by the sled.

Very well explained.I like that you take you don't speak fast,easy to understand.thank you for providing the measurements.
No problem and thanks for watching. Be sure to check out the follow up video where I explain a big mistake I made in this video.
Excellent, clear and easy to understand. I've watched about 497 of these sled videos and I have to say, yours was the easiest to understand. The only thing I will have to change is the runners. Where I live in this desert, the humidity changes will affect wood runners too much. Thanks for a great video. Your voice is relaxing and thanks for not using any annoying music.
Thank you sir for the kind words. Ya, some of those ready made metal or composite runners will work great for you. Be sure to check out the follow up video which is linked in the first pinned comment on this video. I explain the mistake I made in this video. Thanks again for watching!👍
@@LTDWoodworks Okay, I watched the video about your mistake. No worries from my end. I know how to do the 5 cut method and actually missed your mistake on your first video. Glad it worked out for you and cudos for having the courage to eat a little dust and admit your mistake. Still, a nice sled - well built and now ...... square! Cheers.
Ok good. Just wanted to make sure you were good to go. Thanks again 👍
This has to be one of the best how to sled video I’ve seen, great job 👍
Thank you but keep in mind I made a couple of mistakes. Be sure to check out the follow up video. There’s a link in the description. Thanks again 👍
@@LTDWoodworks thanks, it was very helpful!
Good, thanks for watching!👍
Really liked the diagram of the 5 cut formula your the first one that's explained it properly.😁🍻
Thanks👍 Ya, the formulaic good but be sure to check out my follow up video where I explain a big mistake I made in this video. Thanks for watching!
Nice sled, John~! I'm needing a new one and this fits the bill. I have a Katz-Moses stop block, so I'll bury the T-track in the top of the fence instead of on the inside face. Thanks for the video~!
Thanks!👍 Good luck with your build 👍
Like this one A LOT!!!!! As a beginner with a nice table saw and not much else, I think I can make this. I'll be watching several times. First time viewer, and new subscriber. Thank you for showing us this great sled build!
Sorry for the slow response. This comment went to spam for some reason. Thank you so much! Yes, go for it, this sled is supper simple to make. Just takes some time to get things dialed in just right. Thanks for watching!
I like your video, thanks.
Thank you and thanks for watching 👍
Great video!
Thank you! Be sure to check out the follow up video explaining a mistake I made in this one.
nice simple explanation of the 5 cut method. thanks!
You’re welcome and thanks for watching!
Very well explained! I use my sled a ton and have no doubt you will too.
Thank you!
Very good explanation of 5 cut method and adjustment.
Thank you! Although, I made a mistake in this video so be sure to check out my follow up video where I explain that as well. Link in the description. Thanks for watching!
one of the clearer explanations of the 5 cut method - thanks heaps!!
Glad I could help. Thank you for watching!👍
Nice work. Straight to the point and well explained.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Excellent description of the 5 cut method!
Thanks but be sure to check out the follow up video that explains a mistake I made in this one👍
@@LTDWoodworks to be honest because I knew which way it should be rotated, I never noticed you did it incorrectly. It takes a good man to publicly admit a mistake, subscribed!
Thanks!👍
I love your sled buddy! Those T-tracks look good 👍👍
Thanks! Once I get the hold downs build for the base of the sled this thing is going to be even better! Thanks again for watching 👍
As woods expand and contract more along the grain lines (tangent to the growth rings) I wood cut the runners with the grain running vertically.
After doing more research that I should have done first I find that yes, you are correct. This just proves that you cannot believe everything you hear on RUclips. I have heard the way I explained many many times from big names on RUclips and took that to be true. Oh well... Thanks for clearing this up👍
Nice build John, its on my to do list for sure. Maybe over the winter I will finally get it done!
Thanks👍As I keep saying, I can't believe I waited this long to build one. It's going to make certain tasks much easier!
Nicely explained and nice build, think the dog approves.
He does, just wish he would help out in the shop some more. I mean help clean or something! Geez...🤣
Great looking sled! They sure are handy to have around the shop! You had some great tips in there as well. Keep at it!
Thank you sir!
Great video my friend! Well done and nice build!
Thank you sir! I am very happy to finally have this done👍
NICCCCE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!
After a few months of prototype design and struggling with the mess; I decided to build a wood cart, look into dust collection, and of course production jigs. There is one thing I discovered early in the process that I have not seen anyone do: Use two part epoxy in conjunction with wood glue. Add dollops of epoxy along the workpiece along with wood glue. I got the idea from watching counter installers. When installing backsplash, they used hot glue and silicone. The glue hardens instantly and holds it while the silicone cures. Same with epoxy and wood glue. The epoxy cures in 5 minutes and then you can remove clamps and get on with things.
That was pretty much what I was going to do. I had some CA glue but the cap glued itself to the main cap so I couldn't squeeze out small amounts. Of course after I was done I realized I could have used a very small paint brush and dipped it into the bottle because I could unscrew the main cap just not the secondary cap. Hope that made sense. Epoxy is a great idea as well. I just didn't have any on hand at the time. Thanks for watching and commenting!👍
Thank you putting out this video
You explained everything to the T. Now I can build one for myself and understand what I just built. I subscribed and look forward to more quality video builds.
Glad I could help👍 If you have any other questions just let me know. And thanks for watching!👍
Great build!
Thank you sir!
En la prueba de los 5 cortes, creo que volteas la pieza en en sentido contrario a las agujas del reloj, cuando en realidad, la tienes que voltear en el mismo sentido que las agujas del reloj, o por lo menos eso creo. Saludos, buen video
Estás en lo correcto. Cometí un error en este primer video. Tengo un video de seguimiento donde explico el error que cometí junto con más detalles. Gracias por ver.
Really useful thanks. Great presentation too.
Glad you enjoyed it 👍 Thanks for watching!
Great ideal nice looking sled
Thank you and thanks for watching 👍
Nice build.
Thank you sir!👍
Hello John.
Nice video. Thanks for posting.
I watched the video from Bill Ng regarding the 5 cut method. He said many woodworkers are somewhat put off by the math involved, so I wrote a simple calculator for that. It's free and can be used and shared by anyone.
I welcome feedback regarding ease of use, etc.
Cool, where can we find it?
Very nicely done. Lots of great tips that I had not seen before. Thank you for teaching us new techniques to use.
Thank you, I am just spreading the word of information that I have learned myself from the RUclips world. Glad I could help though 👍
Nice video. It seems as though your Kreg track on the back edge of your sled could get cut into if your blade were needing to cut through a little thicker stock. Love the overall design though.
Yep, you’re right. I’ve already raised the blade and cut through it. Not big deal as the track is aluminum. Not sure why I didn’t do it in the video. Oh well. Thanks for watching!👍
Great video and really clear instructions to follow. Great job 😊🙌🏻I need to update my cross cut sled really bad. Add to the list of things to make! 🙈
Thank you! I just keep saying I can't believe I waited this long to build one. So go ahead, get yours done!👍
The Wood Whisperer (Marc Spagnuolo) said just the opposite about wood expansion for the runners. Wood expands horizontally WITH the grain not vertically. Therefore, turn your wood 90 degrees so it looks more like quarter-sawn and expansion would then go toward the bottom of the track, not the sides. Since you’re milling the runners shallower than the depth of the track, expansion isn’t a factor. You’ve had a year with the sled, so are your runners oriented properly....?
Ya, that’s one of many mistakes I’ve made and shared to the world 😬 My runners are doing ok though. They got real tight when I did the follow up video on this one so be sure to check that one out too. Not I keep giving the runners a light sanding on one side and test for a while so I don’t overdo it and make them loose. Overall now that I fixed the fence (follow up video) I’m pretty happy with it 👍Oh, and I’ve kept them the wrong way this whole time. Thanks for watching!
Great sled but with my compact table saw its too heavy. any suggestions
/modifications for a workplace table saw. I have Dewalt 7480. thanks
Yes, mine is a big sled for a bigger saw. That's what's nice about woodworking and jigs, you can make them however you see fit. I have seen much smaller versions of sleds that "look" similar to mine. I have also seen variations that would say only have one runner underneath and only have the whole sled ride on one side of the blade. I have seen small sleds with no front fence ( farthest fence from you while operating ). I can go on and on on the variations that I have seen. Search something like small tablesaw sleds here on youtube and you will find a wealth of options. I will say that so far I have not needed the depth that I have on my sled so keep in mind the width of wood you normally cut and go just a bit more than that in the overall depth of your sled. That alone will cut down on some weight. Well hope this helps. It's the best I could do just waking up with not enough caffeine yet😆 Thanks for watching!
Hi I'm new to table saws, still trying to figure the finer points out. The biggest problem I have is when I set my fence up and run a cut down it the back end is ridged so the cut can drift either on th the cover bit at back of the blade or drifts other way. Making real pain to get straight even cuts. Any ideas?
Well let’s start with what model table saw you have? I would say there’s quite a few saws out there that the fence systems are not very good. I know, I used to have one. This is why I upgraded my saw. Making sure that the fence doesn’t move sideways is very important. Also that the fence is parallel to the blade is important as well. If these last two points are an issue we will have to explore ways to fix the issue.
Is there any explanation why a t square or any tool used for checking square is not enough? Why is a 5 cut method necessary? We still use a square for final checking.
Will a t square get the fence close? Yes. But using this method insures that it is as close to square as possible. I once cut a cutting board using this sled after only using a t square to set the fence. I started on one short side and made a cut, then rotated and made another cut and continued for the last two cuts. Just looking at the board I could tell that something was wrong. I then took a square to one of the corners and could immediately tell that it was out of square. So cutting a square or rectangle shape on all for sides using a sled that is out of square will just multiply the "out of squareness" on each cut. Now that it is set properly I can now cut my cutting boards on all four sides and have perfect 90 degree corners. Hope this make sense and helps👍
Which countersink set did you use? Looks like a good one.
And thanks for the video!
Well... to be honest I have no idea. My father in law gave me the set. I’ll try to remember when I get home to look and see if there’s a name on them somewhere. Thanks for watching!👍
Why not use steel or aluminum for the guide rails?
That's definitely a great option. I think on my next sled I'm going to use some pre-made runners. These wood ones are just a nice option if you don't want to spend more money on other types of runners.
I am back.....lol What are the tracks on the front side of the sled for ??? Thank you
Welcome back! The T-track up on the fence is for the sliding stop block. The two T-tracks down on the base of the sled are for hold down clamps which I made in a later video - ruclips.net/video/BnpnswgIdnk/видео.html
@@LTDWoodworks Thank you for your prompt reply. Got it !!! Those clamps are SUPER DELUXE .I would NEVER use them, instead put them in a showcase and charge people to look at them. These are beautiful. Thank you for your great videos .
Ha, I use them all the time! Thanks for the kind words though 👍
I bought some t tracks to upgrade my tablesaw. Is there an advantage to placing it either on top or on the front face of the backfence?
I would say the primary one would be on the front face like mine. This way you can have a slide stop block or a clamp for a certain situation. Or... you could go all out and put one on both the front face and the top. This would allow from a slide block on the top tack and room for two clamps if needed on the front face. Good luck either way with your sled👍
@@LTDWoodworks nice! Ok. Is it ok I bother you with questions when I eventually run into snags?
Anytime, Just ask!👍
@@LTDWoodworks Q: what type of screw is best to fasten the t track to the wood?
Small flat head wood screw is about all you need. I forget the size at the moment but as long as they fit the diameter hole in the t track you should be good. If the screws are too long you may have to grind them down to fit the length needed. And as a back up you could use a bit of epoxy.
Sorry but it looks like you turned the first 3 cuts clockwise but the last 2 counter clockwise. This surely would give an incorrect figure for the 5 cut method
It sure would give an incorrect reading if I had in fact done what you say. But I can assure you that I turned it the same direction every time. I can see that the camera angle and sped up video may make it hard to follow so that’s my fault for not showing it more clearly. Thank you for your interest and comment 👍
You did rotate the board the wrong way. Your ment to lay the new cut against the fence each time. You made a cut then put that cut edge at the top of the saw.
You are absolutely right. Just one of those times where filming and building get in the way of each other. I am often thinking more about the camera angle, etc, then what I'm actually working on. I am going to pin your comment to the top to let others that I should have rotated the board the other direction. Thank you for your comment!

no - don't use a LEVEL, please!
YESSSS... I used a LEVEL!!!! Because I'm a REBEL!!!😉
Nice one! I keep thinking about one for me, but I think I will wait until I’m able to get a newer table saw. They one available right now is old and not very accurate.
Ya, a good table saw makes a world of difference! I used to have a cheaper one and was very happy to finally upgrade. Get a good one when you can, it will be worth it!👍
Simple Woodworking As the 'proud owner' of a similarly inaccurate older, cheap Craftsman jobsite saw, what saved my cuts was one of those cheap aluminum-channel straight-edge guides where 2 pieces just over 4 feet join together to make a straight edge that can guide your circular saw through an 8-foot straight cut. The channel is incredibly straight, but more importantly its edges are parallel. Using one of these 4-foot pieces, I raised my blade as high as it would go, and put the straight edge up against it (if it touches a tooth, turn or slightly lower the blade so it's only touching the side of the blade). What this does is transfer the line of the saw blade all the way to the front and all the way to the back of the saw table (kinda like how the 5-cut method multiplies the error times 4 sides, making it more visible). From each of these 2 points front and back, it's now an easy matter to simply measure from the straight edge over to the nearest miter slot to see how far out of parallel the blade is (since the blade should always be precisely parallel to the miter slots). Then use whatever blade adjustment method is built into your saw (mine was loosening set screws in the table and levering the entire motor this way and that, then tightening the screws -- not a method where it's easy to be precise!), and re-check the parallel measurement. Once your blade is parallel to the miter slot, you're as accurate as any saw worth thousands of dollars. (Holding that line through hours of motor vibration may be another matter, but at least it's accurate right now....). Now you can build your sled and do your 5 cuts to square the sled's fence. Easy! (Well, if not easy, at least possible.) Good luck!
