Having it come to you in a dream is primo. I know an architect who dreamed of a monument design for the state government. She got up drew the design, entered the competition and won. It's like dream creations are sanctioned by the power of the universe directly. Kudos you to Jonathan.
You do have to spend some time setting the saw up... blade, fence, etc. But once done, the saw is great. Fairly compact which is Nice ruclips.net/user/postUgkxXh-4_3-ZT1fFWP91ZV7iVqzElr0lEb-a I did get an Incra Miter Gauge which takes some setup as well. The stock miter gauge can be adjusted in the miter slot with a little painter's tape... this tightens up the side to side play a lot.
Great concept, JKM! I recently purchased a new table saw (sold my last one 12 years ago and have concentrated on hand tool woodworking since then, but have slowly come around to acknowledging the necessity of an accurate table saw in my shop). I ordered your stop block today for my new crosscut sled, which is based on your sled build video, and now I might have to order a second one so I can do THIS build. You better quit coming up with these brilliant ideas for a couple months so I can catch up, man! BTW, as a hand tool woodworker I have to say that I bought your dovetail jigs a few months ago and they have really improved the speed and accuracy of my dovetails. When you’re building a grand-daughter’s toy box and you have to cut 40+ dovetails, this comes in really handy!! PS... I liked the shout out to Tamar 3x3... that young lady is awesome!!
Maybe a dumb question: What size screws do you use in conjunction to the epoxy when fastening T-Tracks into 3/4 inch plywood? I'm worried about the screws tearing up the bottom of my sled or weakening the plywood.
BTW! GENTLEMEN! LADIES! Happy Valentine's Day Katz-Moses Mafia! *I said, "THAT TAMAR TRICK" not "chick." Tamar and I had a good laugh at all the people that emailed me in anger*
I just started building this and found one thing people should note: The 4 pack of 24" T-Track will get you just enough T-Track for the sled, but not the fence. You'll also need one piece longer than 24" if you want a single run across the fence. I'll probably just order another 4 pack of 48" cause I can always use more T-Track. Also, the shipping from JKM for the stop block was crazy fast. Thanks!
We must have had the same dream! I built this exact same jig but a smaller version. The only difference is I drilled dowel holes (for steel pins) on the ends of the fence and corresponding holes in the jig at 90 and 45 degrees so I can quickly set the fence and cut those angles without having to fuss with squares or angle finders.
@Jackson T what we’re the dimensions of the sled you made? I use a contractor saw right now so my table is quite a bit smaller than JKM’s huge SawStop table 😏
I have a small shop that I am just fitting out, 9x19 and so am always looking for multifunctional fixtures like this. I made a version of this so I could do some accurate crosscuts for plywood panels, some tapers as well as crosscuts for smaller pieces and the design worked beautifully! My problem came when I needed to "catch" my off cut and so I made a second sled to go beside it that rides in the second tablesaw track. Well it wasn’t long before I realized that if I added corresponding tracks to the other sled, used the fence with 2 more bolts for my back fence and then added a second fence at the front for more rigidity, that I had myself a full-on crosscut sled that could be converted to other purposes as well as broken down into 2 sleds and 2 fences that can be hung on the wall!!! AMAZING! Many Thanks for your inspiration JKM.
Great video, Jonathan - and a very cool sled. You need to work on your match skills, though. In the details section, you list the T-track from TayTools at $0.35/foot... A 4 pack of 2’ T-track = 8’ of T-track. Multiplied by $0.35 = $2.80. (Oh how I WISH I could buy T-track for $.35/foot! At $35 for 8’, the correct per foot price is $4.38.
Good afternoon Jonathan. I have a DEWALT DWE7491RS table saw due to my small shop. I really like your plan for this sled. It would allow me to cut my 72, 34, and 54 degree angles to make Christmas stars for gifts. I would need to downsize the sled to fit my smaller saw. Do you have ideas for a downsized version? Thanks, Scott Thompson
This may seem like a silly question but what screws are you using with the t-track? I am struggling to find any that have a big enough head but are short enough not to blow through the plywood.
I have used these from my local woodcraft with no issues. A small bit of epoxy would also help reinforce but I haven’t used epoxy and haven’t had them pull loose yet. www.woodcraft.com/products/6-x-1-2-highpoint-general-purpose-screws-flat-head-combo-drive-black-oxide-100-piece?via=573621f569702d06760016d3%2C57641fb169702d3baa002477%2C5764229d69702d3baa002554
Katz Man, I have three comments: 1. Is there a reason you are using this sled on the “wrong” (left) side of the blade? 2. I wish you had commented on why you use the piece of wood to hold down the T track as you cut it in the Sawstop? (Conductivity can be such a b***h!). 3. Awesome idea…great imagination my friend!
Great stuff as always! But I think your math on the t track price per foot in the description is off. You've got it listed at $0.35 a foot. But that's the price per inch for the 4 pack. Its really $4.37 a foot. You had me thinking you had some sort of crazy t track hook up for a second haha
Jonathan, great videos as always! I just built this & the crosscut sled for my shop and wanted to know what’s the product you use to spray on the wood? Is it just a simple spray poly? Thanks again for all your instruction & insight!!
@Jonathan Katz-Moses the fence dimensions in the plans is for your stop block? So 4 inch height is for other brands? I purchased yours and want to get it right hopefully without mistakes.😂
Holy shit i just recognized your watch. Hamilton Khaki Automatic, the rarely seen Blue version. Wife got me the same watch for our anniversary last year. Lovely piece.
Nice vid Johathan. I would be willing to pay for a much more step by step video of this. I feel like this is a very important jig and it will affect a ton of future projects. Please do the "Extended Build Video." thanks...
There should be unbounded praise for you on this. Firstly, it is an extremely versatile aid to have in the workshop. I will be making one from your plans Secondly, your honesty in acknowledging microjig Thirdly, in making your plans available for no charge Taste is personal and I very much like your presenting style. It’s open, easy to follow and everything is made correctly (safely and accurately). I’ve been woodworking for over 40 years and there are very, very few channels that I subscribe to. Yours in one that I have found to be invariably interesting. It’s a great shame but understandable that shipping costs to the UK have to be so high.
As usual, I appreciate the thoughtfulness and honesty in your channel, man. The opening moment highlighting and acknowledging the creativity of another company is just classy all around. And...it doesn't hurt that you've got one of my all-time favorite bottles subtly chilling on the desk behind you, either. Those Bruichladdich laddies know what they're doing :)
Omg the 1994 Black Art is to die for! I might sell my shop for whatever cases they have left of the 12k they made. I have like 3 fingers left in that bottle I'm saving for a special occasion.
I just built a new sled based on Tamar's design ( I didn't include the extension fence but made my fence 36") and added a JKM stop block. Very happy with it. I may have to build this one too, but I'll need another JKM stop block! :)
Very cool, I'll probably be making one of these soon. Also l feel like it might be easier to orient the fence with the plys vertical. That way you can make the slot by sandwiching some true 1/4" stock between one 3/4" piece on the back and 2 on the front to leave room for the t track. Just a thought to avoid the deep routing.
@@JP-mq7pg Eh, he said that his normal crosscut sled has it vertical, and that seems to be holding up fine for him. He also said that he just flipped it to make routing the slot easier. I could be missing something of course, but either way would work.
Ho.ly.crap! I can’t believe how incredible this thing is!!! I’ll be making one as soon as the Arctic Tundra leaves Arkansas. Too cold in the wood shop right now! Haha
This is my favorite RUclips channel by far! And I'll be making something like this soon with a jkm stop. Although I have to say match fit dovetail stuff is way more versatile and cheaper than t track
I made this and am in love with it! I know it can do a lot more, but I've been using it for mitered corners so far and they are PERFECT. This sled + digital angle calipers = perfect angle cuts without having to do test pieces. It also allows me to very easily and precisely line up my marking knife lines with the table saw teeth so the cut is exactly where I want it. I also used it to cut angled half-lap joints. Worked like a charm! Thanks KM!
man, I just came across this video, and your channel. someone in a video referenced your channel but I forget what video, it was a while back...Sorry. Anyway, this is awesome. I will be building one for my little DeWalt job site table saw. I subscribed to the channel so now I can't forget about you, and because I want to learn more, which you seem to have a few more "this type of router bit vs this type what the difference is what each does" (as well as other tools ) which I think will help me make better pieces as my skills progress. Now I wait for next friday(payday for us nyc employees lol) so I can buy the apron which I would like since I always seem to spend more time looking for a tool "I just put down 20 seconds ago" and some how mysteriously moved by itself(or a ghost did it) to another part of my garage(aka my shop lol). and that stop block, in addition to some T-track and apparently a new router bit, so I can build this. I have seen other table saw sled videos that I really liked, but this sled, boy oh boy, it blows the others away by a long shot, they don't even hold a candle to the advantages and multifunctionability of this.
I have two DeWalt routers. Been trying for many months to buy an edge guide attachment but absolutely everyone is out of stock unless you want to pay double. The COVID excuse is wearing thin. Any idea why this is so hard to find? I had to borrow a friend’s router table to do the deep slot.
I really wish this video dropped about a week earlier......I just finished up making my two sleds....crosscut and tapering.....this would have been awesome combination....I guess my crosscut might accidently get ran over in the garage....Oops...
So, the track system on the sled is basically an open smoke-box. And the fence is the crank handle with the track bolts being the slides. Genious! Great system. Yup, gotta get these plans for sure. Even if all I have is a cheap job-site saw.
Great idea Jonathan- what are your thoughts on blade kerf thickness when using a sled? I always feel like I have to use a full kerf blade because the material is lifted off the table....but maybe that’s not necessary?
Funny you mention that. I had to switch to a 60 tooth 7-1/4” blade recently while my main thin kerf blade was being sharpened. I just slowed down my feed rate and got no issues with lifting or deflecting.
Hi Jonathon. I just found your site a few days ago. I feel like I have been deprived of such an awesome site. But I have been on it a lot everyday since. I even tried to order some tools but Out of Stock. Bummer. I made the Micro ZeroPlay 360 sled three weeks ago, and after watching this one, guess what? Yep, I'm making yours. It seems to be smoother than the one I just built. Thank you for all of your expertise you love to share!
Curious, why did you say to use the up-cut bit in this video when you said to only use down-cut bits in the bits video? The reasoning in the bits video made sense so I went with the down-cut. However, I am still curious. Thanks. Incidentally, my multi sled is almost compete and I got my KM stop block over the weekend.
Finally got myself a half decent table saw an old Craftsman 10" 3hp Contractors Saw. Big step up from the PoS Ryobi Jobsite saw that I bought. This is the first thing Im going to make for it
When I was laying the T-track grid, I screwed them in. Then found out the screws that came the the T-track protruded from the bottom of the sled. Spent about the next 15 to 30 minutes sanding screws flush with the bottom of the sled. My fault, I should have tested for the correct length of screws (which would have meant a trip to the local hardware store as I was out). Just a word of caution. Great build, by the way. May have to get another stop block.
My issue is I have a stupid craftsman and the tracks have this stupid lip on the inside so I can't make the same runners. And the clearance for the T part of the slot is so thin that it's almost impossible with wood. Any suggestions??????
Sure wished you had commented in the video that the depth of the T-track is shallow on the movable fence compared to the sled. The little note on the plans is not enough. Also the plans are missing the offset dimension for this slot. My workaround is to stack washers to use your stop block. Kinda lame for a custom jig.
I am new to the sport, and was making my own plans as the Microjig sled is not cheap, especially when you are on the pointy end of a nasty exchange rate, when this popped into my recommendations. I love your videos, you are one of the first places I go when trying to figure out how to do things.
Built mine with a couple of modifications in size (really caused by availability of baltic birch). while i had my dado blade set to 3/4 i scored the bottom for the placement of the miter guide. also added a 1/4" piece of baltic birch to the fence so i didn't need to lay the t-track proud. this is a great sled that i will show off while i train advanced table saw at work. thanks it's great!
Would you recommend this build over your cross cut sled you filmed a while back? I've got a smaller shop so space is a premium so I'm on the hunt for a sled that can do it all
Of all the woodworking RUclipsrs, there are only a few I would love to host for a day in my shop. You are one of the highest on that list. Thanks so much for your creativity and fantastic videos! - From "Canter Lane Woodworking", Springfield, Oregon
I guess I'll just have to head out to the shop, put on my Katz-Moses Apron and build this thing. After I go order another stop block (don't want to have to move one from one sled to the other). You need to make something like this that also incorporates dovetails for the "Katz-Moses doo-dads trifecta"
I am learning by trial and error, and going to RUclips for explanations on what went wrong and how to do it right. In all my hundreds upon hundreds of hours watching, I have never come across the highly accurate technical term “oopsie-daisie room” before. Learning something new each day! 😝 Seriously: I love the stop block and the dovetail jig (using them often) and your videos, Jonathan. I’ve learned a LOT! And the fact that you ship to Norway makes shopping easy 👌🏻Thanks!
I’ve purchased everything to build this but was curious how often you reach for this over your cross cut sled. Would I be better served building a cross cut sled first or would this suffice for multiple purposes until I want to build a specific cross cut sled? Excited to build it!!!
Great idea/video. I needed to cut a 25deg angle the other day and I wish I had seen your video. It would have handled the cut so easy. Is there a reason you made the sled to track to the right of the blade?
Another great video. Just ordered a stop block! I didn't catch what was the reason for the fence being rotated from your other sleds? To avoid routing along the plys?
Thanks so much for introducing me to Taylor Toolworks. I buy from them all the time. I started back when you told us about the blem squares they sell. Just ordered some Narex Richter chisels from them today. They're sorta local for me too and they take PayPal 4pay. Win/win. Keep up the awesome work.
Great sled/jig Jonathon. Downloading the plans now ready for my new table saw, I do love the your banter with John Malecki, gives me a good chuckle. Great work once again mate. 👍
Bought your apron off your site. Man lemme tell you what, I don't know how I worked in my shop without it. I just completed a simple project while wearing it, and it was so convenient having all my tools with me. Love it and love the sled video
Great video, great idea, good addition; a small hold down on the fence (made of wood, sliding in the t-track) to hold down those tiny pieces to protect those fragile things called fingers ;)

I will be building one for my little DeWalt job site table saw. I subscribed to the channel so now I can't forget about you, and because I want to learn more, which you seem to have a few more "this type of router bit vs this type what the difference is what each does" (as well as other tools ) which I think will help me make better pieces as my skills progress. Now I wait for next friday(payday for us nyc employees lol) so I can buy the apron which I would like since I always seem to spend more time looking for a tool "I just put down 20 seconds ago" and some how mysteriously moved by itself(or a ghost did it) to another part of my garage(aka my shop lol). and that stop block, in addition to some T-track and apparently a new router bit, so I can build this. I have seen other table saw sled videos that I really liked, but this sled, boy oh boy, it blows the others away by a long shot, they don't even hold a candle to the advantages and multifunctionability of this.
I have two DeWalt routers. Been trying for many months to buy an edge guide attachment but absolutely everyone is out of stock unless you want to pay double. The COVID excuse is wearing thin. Any idea why this is so hard to find? I had to borrow a friend’s router table to do the deep slot.
I really wish this video dropped about a week earlier......I just finished up making my two sleds....crosscut and tapering.....this would have been awesome combination....I guess my crosscut might accidently get ran over in the garage....Oops...
So, the track system on the sled is basically an open smoke-box. And the fence is the crank handle with the track bolts being the slides. Genious! Great system. Yup, gotta get these plans for sure. Even if all I have is a cheap job-site saw.
Great idea Jonathan- what are your thoughts on blade kerf thickness when using a sled? I always feel like I have to use a full kerf blade because the material is lifted off the table....but maybe that’s not necessary?
Funny you mention that. I had to switch to a 60 tooth 7-1/4” blade recently while my main thin kerf blade was being sharpened. I just slowed down my feed rate and got no issues with lifting or deflecting.
Hi Jonathon. I just found your site a few days ago. I feel like I have been deprived of such an awesome site. But I have been on it a lot everyday since. I even tried to order some tools but Out of Stock. Bummer. I made the Micro ZeroPlay 360 sled three weeks ago, and after watching this one, guess what? Yep, I'm making yours. It seems to be smoother than the one I just built. Thank you for all of your expertise you love to share!
KM apron: check, KM stop block: check, KM Dovetail jig: check....... discount codes SWEETTTTTTTTT!!!!!
Game changer!
Curious, why did you say to use the up-cut bit in this video when you said to only use down-cut bits in the bits video? The reasoning in the bits video made sense so I went with the down-cut. However, I am still curious. Thanks. Incidentally, my multi sled is almost compete and I got my KM stop block over the weekend.
Finally got myself a half decent table saw an old Craftsman 10" 3hp Contractors Saw. Big step up from the PoS Ryobi Jobsite saw that I bought. This is the first thing Im going to make for it
When I was laying the T-track grid, I screwed them in. Then found out the screws that came the the T-track protruded from the bottom of the sled. Spent about the next 15 to 30 minutes sanding screws flush with the bottom of the sled. My fault, I should have tested for the correct length of screws (which would have meant a trip to the local hardware store as I was out). Just a word of caution. Great build, by the way. May have to get another stop block.
My issue is I have a stupid craftsman and the tracks have this stupid lip on the inside so I can't make the same runners. And the clearance for the T part of the slot is so thin that it's almost impossible with wood. Any suggestions??????
Sure wished you had commented in the video that the depth of the T-track is shallow on the movable fence compared to the sled. The little note on the plans is not enough. Also the plans are missing the offset dimension for this slot. My workaround is to stack washers to use your stop block. Kinda lame for a custom jig.
Cool idea. I think I may add something similar to my shop. Thanks for the video.
What is pile file?
I am new to the sport, and was making my own plans as the Microjig sled is not cheap, especially when you are on the pointy end of a nasty exchange rate, when this popped into my recommendations. I love your videos, you are one of the first places I go when trying to figure out how to do things.
Hi Jonathan when you made the fence with your great stop block did you have the t track slightly bit proud on top of your fence.
Built mine with a couple of modifications in size (really caused by availability of baltic birch). while i had my dado blade set to 3/4 i scored the bottom for the placement of the miter guide. also added a 1/4" piece of baltic birch to the fence so i didn't need to lay the t-track proud. this is a great sled that i will show off while i train advanced table saw at work. thanks it's great!
Would you recommend this build over your cross cut sled you filmed a while back? I've got a smaller shop so space is a premium so I'm on the hunt for a sled that can do it all
Of all the woodworking RUclipsrs, there are only a few I would love to host for a day in my shop. You are one of the highest on that list. Thanks so much for your creativity and fantastic videos! - From "Canter Lane Woodworking", Springfield, Oregon
I guess I'll just have to head out to the shop, put on my Katz-Moses Apron and build this thing. After I go order another stop block (don't want to have to move one from one sled to the other).
You need to make something like this that also incorporates dovetails for the "Katz-Moses doo-dads trifecta"
wow as a newby at tabel saw sled i love this one more, thanx greatings from south africa,,, limpopo prov
Thank you for doing this and for offering this free. I went a head and purchased the Katz Dovetail Jig. I appreciate your content and hard work.
I always like watching your stuff, but you definitely saw this before your "premonition" 🤣
I am learning by trial and error, and going to RUclips for explanations on what went wrong and how to do it right. In all my hundreds upon hundreds of hours watching, I have never come across the highly accurate technical term “oopsie-daisie room” before. Learning something new each day! 😝
Seriously: I love the stop block and the dovetail jig (using them often) and your videos, Jonathan. I’ve learned a LOT! And the fact that you ship to Norway makes shopping easy 👌🏻Thanks!
This is very cool. Essentially eliminates the need for my Incra miter gauge. Hm......
I think I'll try this with the long gap cut in before glue up rather than routing... Should work, I think...
Thank You!!! I will remember this when I have or make one (Table Saw). 👍😎😃
Sweet plans!!! On a sweet day! Also... how's your thumb healing? Hope all is well man!
I’ve purchased everything to build this but was curious how often you reach for this over your cross cut sled. Would I be better served building a cross cut sled first or would this suffice for multiple purposes until I want to build a specific cross cut sled? Excited to build it!!!
Great idea/video. I needed to cut a 25deg angle the other day and I wish I had seen your video. It would have handled the cut so easy. Is there a reason you made the sled to track to the right of the blade?
Another great video. Just ordered a stop block! I didn't catch what was the reason for the fence being rotated from your other sleds? To avoid routing along the plys?
Thanks so much for introducing me to Taylor Toolworks. I buy from them all the time. I started back when you told us about the blem squares they sell. Just ordered some Narex Richter chisels from them today. They're sorta local for me too and they take PayPal 4pay. Win/win. Keep up the awesome work.
I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.
Jonathan if you make it with the micro jig dovetail clamps you won’t have to spend $66 on all the parts for the sled. it’ll be cheaper.
I was wondering how much for all the parts.So 66 vs ?
@@2hotscottpro The dove tail router bit cuts the groove as long and wherever you need so you don’t have to buy any of the track. So zero dollars.
I love this! Now I feel that this is an essential for my sawstop!
Fantastic work, Jonathan! That's just brilliant! 😃
I'm definitely going to make one of those!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
What did you spray on before the paste wax and why? Was it lacquer?
Love the design, it’s something I would love to make!
And I have totally had material want to slip on long extreme angles!
If Taytools sold the Brooklyn Bridge you'd sell them out of it.
@Jonathan why are you talking in the third person? Lol
Great sled/jig Jonathon. Downloading the plans now ready for my new table saw, I do love the your banter with John Malecki, gives me a good chuckle.
Great work once again mate. 👍
Will definitely be making this
Great Job Jonathan. Thank you for sharing and the good video.
Awesome job JK, gunna have to make myself one of those. Thank you.
Bought your apron off your site. Man lemme tell you what, I don't know how I worked in my shop without it. I just completed a simple project while wearing it, and it was so convenient having all my tools with me. Love it and love the sled video
Great video, great idea, good addition; a small hold down on the fence (made of wood, sliding in the t-track) to hold down those tiny pieces to protect those fragile things called fingers ;)
