For people who wonder why this is such a good board, I encourage you to look at the last two minutes of the piece, where it all comes together. You will see that the width of the space for the blade is adjustable, from narrow to a full dado head. This is a true innovation by Young Je. Second innovation: There is a rail along the top of the back guide for a stop (nothing new, of course); the clever addition in Young Je's sled is that the back rail can be extended by a foot or so. So you can make repetitive, accurate cuts of long pieces without the weight of a wide sled.
this is, in my opinion, the best sled on RUclips because it's highly functional for a variety of tasks, requires actual skill to build and makes use of things you might already have around the house. It's not just a piece of MDF with a bunch of sponsored Kreg gimmicks slapped on it like so many others.
There are a ton of table saw sleds that can be built but this one is by far the most practical, functional, and within the capability of most woodworkers. Excellent job Young Je and thanks for sharing this video!
As many have said here, It sure would be nice to have plans for this. I'd build one this weekend if plans were available. It's a GREAT sled! Thanks Mr. Je!
It really shows that you have hundreds of hours of table saw experience...Or it looks that way anyway. I'm sure people will comment about safety but I can see that you are highly skilled and know exactly how to use a table saw. Oh and the sled is amazing and I notice how solidly it is built. Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic table saw sled !!! Have you any plans for sale, you could sell alot for this particular table saw jig. I really enjoy and appreciate the work you put into your videos. Many thanks Paul
RUclips에 수많은 table saw sled중에 단연코 최고라고 생각합니다. 처음에는 Miter bar를 하나만 써서 약하지는 않을까 생각했었는데 Dado blade 사용하려면 이 방법이 최고인 것 같아요. 몇번을 돌려 보기하니까 왜 이렇게 디자인 하셨는지 잘 알것 같습니다. 소중한 자료 감사합니다. 건강하세요.
Good to see you still have all your fingers (for the time being). I personally know of those who don’t! RUclips is an excellent visual observation of neat ideas and what to be careful, to avoid & perform in a safer matter! It’s nice to be able do this... 👍🤙.
I have just started watching Young's videos and he is obviously an old hand at it!! I read the comments about the lack of safety etc, and in no way would recommend a newbie to follow suit!!! BUT it is as obvious as the nose on my face that the skill and knowledge here is decades in the making and the thought and ideas are fantastic!!!
I love your design and one day I will get around to making this one as said the best that I have seen up to date and I watch a lot of u-tube to get ideas
hello Mr. je I would like to know if you are willing to share your ideas and offering some plans to make those jigs in your videos. many have asked you but I don't see an answer, can you please give an answer, I hope it's yes. I'm a beginner and don't have much money but I like your jig ideas and would like to make one. thank You J. L. M.
At first I didn't understand the right side sliding adjustment, but it all became clear at the end when you used it to adjust for a dado set kerf. Awesome job. Like others, I would like to make one. Have you made the plans available yet? I know most of us could just wing-it and make one with our own measurements, but plans would make the project quicker. Looking forward to seeing more of your project videos.
I have probably watched this video 50 times or more.. I took careful notes and estimated the measurements. I just finished making my own copy of this sled.. It is great. Thanks Young Je. I was skeptical about the plastic blade guard but went ahead with it anyway.. it works great. I put my T track forward on the front fence allowing me room for self adhesive tape measures. For now, I am not using the flip up stop block.
Would you mind sharing your estimate approximations of the other parts? I was just about to watch the video over and over until I got the same thing but came to the comments looking for this exact thing thinking someone already did it (and it seems that you have). Greatly appreciated.
That's a solid sled! Surely will be long lasting with the build quality AND the adjustable throat. I guess that when it gets chewed up you can just close it up and re-cut. Most excellent!
Was thinking about making zero clearance inserts for my next sled but this is so much better! What an awesome solution! You literally pulled out all the flippin stops!
i agree. i like the idea of inserts but think they would be a pain to remove and install when one is busy. this looks like one can make a fast adjustment as needed. your post is 1 year old, did you make this sled? does it work for you?
You have my undying admiration .. now for one little suggestion. Buy a plastic cutting board and make a track runner from it to replace the hardwood you used and then there will never be a problem with wood expansion and contraction making the sled hard to move. True perfection in your design.
I think I've watched every friggin' crosscut sled video on RUclips & this was the only one that made it clear to wax the runner immediately after installing it on the sled. If you wax the hardwood, and maintain it, it won't be a problem.
Great video.. This sled is so very practical for the woodworker. I have been researching sleds and have found there are a zillion ways to make them... but most are single use. You have to have 5 different ones for the various cuts. Your design allows me to have only two, maybe... that covers all my needs. Thanks for this video. I might post my sled once completed... I too will use only one runner... as a properly fitted one is all you need, mount the fence first and then cut the extension free... This will allow me to square it using the 5 cut method and then split the piece left of the blade.
Im just getting started in all this myself. What are the paper shims for at about 4:05? This is a good video, and a lot easier to build than the laminated MDF sled I just made; this thing still doesn't slide smoothly, and I used HDPE runners. Cant figure out why or where it is binding.
Those pieces of paper are there to give it just the slightest gap to allow it to slide when loosened off, but not enough of a gap that there would be slippage in any direction that could cause accuracy issues. It basically makes it so there is no binding on the adjustable piece of the sled.
Mr. Je, You do very fine work. I love your channel. No words are necessary the videos explain the process quite well. I have subscribed and will spread the word. Keep up the great work please.
Ein Wunder, dass da noch alle Finger an den Händen sind. Sicherheit ist hier ein echtes Fremdwort. Fräsen ohne Rückschlagsicherung, schneiden ohne Spaltkeil und Schutzhaube ..... Wahnsinn.... Sägeblatt kommt beim Schlitten einfach ins Freie....
A very nice design! Functional and well made! Too bad you don’t show all angles of the finished sled so we can fully understand all aspects of this design…seeing as you don’t offer plans for this build. But perhaps that’s intentional as you don’t want to reveal all your secrets… and that is your right! However, thanks for sharing this video.
Very very nice design.The only thing I did not see on camera is proving the rear fence is 100% square before it is permanently mounted I do not mean this in a negative way,this guy is obviously 100 times smarter than me.Top notch design and build quality.
Is there any chance you could take some close up pics all around this sled and send them to me. This is the best sled I've ever seen. A really good idea!!
The design is well though t out. Love all the options. I am new to cross cut sleds. I wonder if the one miter slot design will hold accuracy. I would have to think more if the right side extras would still be practical if two miter slots are incorporated. Love the sled.
You need to get somebody to show you how to operate a T/S safely & shitcan the long sleeves. I watched just over a minute of this and that was enough for me.
Greetings sir. Well seen some good sled in a few years this however is the best yet. thumbs up and now subbing. keep them good ideas coming many thanks for sharing.
I would gladly pay for the plans for this if they're ever available. It'll be hard to try to replicate this sled based on this video alone, even though you graciously shared the base dimensions. Thanks
PARABÉNS, adorei!!! Quanta habilidade, com que carinho faz o trabalho, parece brincar!!! Obrigado por compartilhar comigo seus conhecimentos. Abraço aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷
Je. You are cool. That is so amazing. Please watch your hands when you get them so close. Want to watch everything you build so make sure you have the hands to do so. LOL. Great great sled my brother.
Very well executed sled, you have incorporated features that I have not seen elsewhere. One que stion: a later video shows a t-track on the back fence; what is it's function?
Nice Idea with the adjustable width for dado blades. Did you check to see it your back rail is exactly 90 degrees to the blade? Can you adjust it easily? Thanks for posting the build.
+Tae Jin Lee 사실 전 썰매 잘 안써요~^^ 그리고 지그를 만들때도 될수있으면 간단하게 만들어요,하드웨어 최대한 않쓰고,,,, 이전 썰매는 걍 합판에 앞,뒤 휀스만 달랑 있는거였죠 이번것은 태진님은 이렇게 만드셔야 할것같아서,,,,,마이러 쏘가 없는분은 썰매를 자주 쓰시잖아요~^^
This man is an excellent woodworker. You could trust him to build anything and it would be done perfectly. And i'll be he could outwork anyone out there, at anything.
A really fine sled. One question: At 4:56 you are shown cutting board apart at an angle. I do not see where it fits in. Can you show me? Also, at the very beginning you cut several small pieces off from the plywood. I didn't see where you used them later. Did I miss it? Thanks again!
I like your sled so much I have created a one page introduction to share with my friends. I have it in a pdf file and word file if you would like to have it. I don't know how to send you an attachment, however.
Young, Do you have instruction for the build process? I really like the way your sled is built and would like to build one. I just got a new table saw and my old sled went to the guy I sold the old saw to. Thanks.
Great job I'm in need of making anew one actualy 2 think ill borough your idea for one the other would be a combination of Nick Ferry and Just Fooling Around's
Great build but those long sleeves so close to the blade make me quiver. I see you using push sticks but you still get way close! Really fine result however. Subscribed!
yes i saw some fingers getting very close to the blade, no splitter and also no throat plate. Made me very nervous, was expecting the screen to go red at any minute
Sometimes, you get TOO comfortable with your high powered tool, then you lose a finger. You must respect the machine and never lose sight of what it can do to you when you become complacent.

yeah.. i had to watch it twice to figure out why the sled needed to be adjusted,, the dado blades made the difference.
I wish I could get a copy of his plans for this sled

Love the sled! With all the requests for plans, I'm really dissapointed that you haven't stated whether or not you would provide them.
I have just started watching Young's videos and he is obviously an old hand at it!! I read the comments about the lack of safety etc, and in no way would recommend a newbie to follow suit!!! BUT it is as obvious as the nose on my face that the skill and knowledge here is decades in the making and the thought and ideas are fantastic!!!
This is most advanced saw sled on RUclips!
Thanks~
true
Agreed
I love your design and one day I will get around to making this one as said the best that I have seen up to date and I watch a lot of u-tube to get ideas
Love the idea of sled being adjustable. Very well done. Thank you.
i will be looking for the plans myself. this was a great sled
hello Mr. je I would like to know if you are willing to share your ideas and offering some plans to make those jigs in your videos. many have asked you but I don't see an answer, can you please give an answer, I hope it's yes. I'm a beginner and don't have much money but I like your jig ideas and would like to make one. thank You J. L. M.
That is a beautiful sled young je.. I tried making one a while ago and then I had to replace my table saw so I’m deeply inspired by this build.
Well done. Another commented that this is "The Cadillac" of table saw sleds. I agree.
At first I didn't understand the right side sliding adjustment, but it all became clear at the end when you used it to adjust for a dado set kerf. Awesome job. Like others, I would like to make one.

VERY NICE! Gotta try this. Really like the "Stop Block Extension".
This is a great sled, thanks for posting!
great approach... I'm probably gonna base my sled on this design

This is probably my new favorite sled.
Literally just finished my table saw sled. Whish I had watched this first! Guess I'm rebuilding it this weekend!
Mr. Je,
You do very fine work. I love your channel. No words are necessary the videos explain the process quite well. I have subscribed and will spread the word. Keep up the great work please.
Thanks~
very good. the best work in sled saw table in youtube
Ein Wunder, dass da noch alle Finger an den Händen sind. Sicherheit ist hier ein echtes Fremdwort. Fräsen ohne Rückschlagsicherung, schneiden ohne Spaltkeil und Schutzhaube ..... Wahnsinn.... Sägeblatt kommt beim Schlitten einfach ins Freie....
Very ingenious. I saw many great features that I can incorporate into my sled. Love the stop block in the top of the front wall. Great job!
Thanks~
Looks like a good, effective, uncomplicated design for a starter.
A very nice design! Functional and well made! Too bad you don’t show all angles of the finished sled so we can fully understand all aspects of this design…seeing as you don’t offer plans for this build.

one of the best sleds out there

good safety practices bub, long baggy sweater over tablesaw blade...nice
This is my 3rd watching this video as I try and figure out a plan for myself base on what I've seen, thanks again.
thanks for watching, and good luck!
This is dang impressive. Masterfully made...thanks for sharing your expertise!
Wow I am impressed. I am going to copy yours. Will probably take a few tries but worth it.
You need to get somebody to show you how to operate a T/S safely & shitcan the long sleeves. I watched just over a minute of this and that was enough for me.
Great job on the sled and video. Would like a set of plans to recreated for my table though.
Wow! Would love the plans for this. Very nice job!
Greetings sir. Well seen some good sled in a few years this however is the best yet. thumbs up and now subbing. keep them good ideas coming many thanks for sharing.
Impressive sled! Do you have plans for it? I’d love to build one like it
Wow - putting your hand on the back side of the blade? Dude - you're scaring the crap out of me.
Love the sled - also interested in plans when you have them.
Wow, I love the way you work! Thanks for posting
I would gladly pay for the plans for this if they're ever available. It'll be hard to try to replicate this sled based on this video alone, even though you graciously shared the base dimensions. Thanks
Like your work, nice design. Do you have any plans published yet? Keep on posting.
Thanks.
Nice job. Very inspiring. Why that cut in angle at 4:47? I have not realized where that part was used.
PARABÉNS, adorei!!! Quanta habilidade, com que carinho faz o trabalho, parece brincar!!!
Obrigado por compartilhar comigo seus conhecimentos.
Abraço aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷
Je. You are cool. That is so amazing. Please watch your hands when you get them so close. Want to watch everything you build so make sure you have the hands to do so. LOL. Great great sled my brother.
Wow do you have 2 tablesaws set up facing each other...? Thats so gangster.
very nice table saw sled compact and usefull any plans for this sled
Very well executed sled, you have incorporated features that I have not seen elsewhere. One que

Nice Idea with the adjustable width for dado blades. Did you check to see it your back rail is exactly 90 degrees to the blade? Can you adjust it easily? Thanks for posting the build.
One of the best operational looking sledgs I've seen but no plans or was this to just show off on RUclips?
excellent video and process. Thank you for sharing.
캬~
끝내주는 썰매네요^^
계속 보면서 연구해야 겠어요 ㅎㅎ~
나름 youtube에서 sled 많이 봤는데 선생님표 썰매는 특히 실용적이고,
아이디어가 "짱" 입니다요!!
썰매 만들면서 동영상 찍고, 편집하고, 영상올리고...
매번 보통일이 아닐텐데 감사하고 고맙습니다^^~~~
+Tae Jin Lee
사실 전 썰매 잘 안써요~^^
그리고 지그를 만들때도 될수있으면 간단하게 만들어요,하드웨어 최대한 않쓰고,,,,
이전 썰매는 걍 합판에 앞,뒤 휀스만 달랑 있는거였죠
이번것은 태진님은 이렇게 만드셔야 할것같아서,,,,,마이러 쏘가 없는분은 썰매를 자주 쓰시잖아요~^^
Very nice, the adjustments are really well thought out. Thanks for sharing. Just one thing I don't get - what are the dowels for?
Also curious
Just read some other comments: they serve as handles to pull the extensions in/out
Extremely nice and innovative. Any plans available?
Good job, nice layout design
thanks
I love your sled!!! Great design
Where are you located? You are one my favorites Keep doing what you have been doing
This man is an excellent woodworker. You could trust him to build anything and it would be done perfectly. And i'll be he could outwork anyone out there, at anything.
cool first one i seen that excepts dado's of any size,,,, as well as a standard blade ,,,, like the double stops as well ,,,, great job, tks
thanks~
best table saw sled I have ever seen I will have to make one
Do you have plans for this? Very nice design!
Young Je does NOT have plans!
A really fine sled. One question: At 4:56 you are shown cutting board apart at an angle. I do not see where it fits in. Can you show me? Also, at the very beginning you cut several small pieces off from the plywood. I didn't see where you used them later. Did I miss it? Thanks again!
The part is an extension rail & guide(5:10~5:35),
and plywood is final dimensions cut
I like your sled so much I have created a one page introduction to share with my friends. I have it in a pdf file and word file if you would like to have it. I don't know how to send you an attachment, however.
Keene great design. Any chance plans would become available?
I just made one... works very nice great ideas you have keep it up.
Young, Do you have instruction for the build process? I really like the way your sled is built and would like to build one. I just got a new table saw and my old sled went to the guy I sold the old saw to. Thanks.
Good work. Never seen this type before. Nice. Thanks for sharing.
do you have any basic dimensions for this. I would like to build one but would like to get some start. Very good design. Thanks
27 1/2 x 17
not include extend block,
Other than the video itself and the above dimensions, are there any plans available for this sled? I would love to make a sled like this. Daniel
Nice work my friend :)
thanks :)
No problem sir good job :)
Nice design! Thanks for sharing.
that is a great sled. Well done.
Great job I'm in need of making anew one actualy 2 think ill borough your idea for one the other would be a combination of Nick Ferry and Just Fooling Around's
Fantastic design! I really like your solutions.
Thank you
Thank you for sharing, do you have plans, I'm convinced that's what my sled should be.
I agree. If plans were available, I'd pay for them.
Great build but those long sleeves so close to the blade make me quiver. I see you using push sticks but you still get way close! Really fine result however. Subscribed!
yes i saw some fingers getting very close to the blade, no splitter and also no throat plate. Made me very nervous, was expecting the screen to go red at any minute
Quite cringe-worthy. Yikes.
I don't get your discomfort? Maybe you don't know how to use tools. At least that is what your comments suggest.
Sometimes, you get TOO comfortable with your high powered tool, then you lose a finger. You must respect the machine and never lose sight of what it can do to you when you become complacent.
Agree. I am perpetually terrified by my unisaw... hopefully that keeps me safe.
Outstanding design! I'm not clear of the purpose of the dowels on both ends of the front fence (7:28 & 7:45). Are they simply used as handles?
+mjmeyer23actual
Yes! i am using the handle~
Great sled ... I learned some great ideas from this.................Protect Your DIGITS................
A very well desinged sled. The adaption for use with a dado stack is great.
Very Nice Sled. May I know the plans for this project?
Real nice job, but the plexi plate at 8.05, didnt see why or where?
Very nice job. Really enjoyed the video.
thanks~
Fantastic, a sleigh handy table. You have detailed insturcciones for implementation ?? Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
sorry~ i do not
Young Je j
I didn't see what the plastic was used for on the back. I really love this and I'm going to make it for my tablesaw tusk you.
great project, you can tell those hands have cut a LOT of wood ;)
you need to get yourself an impact driver for screwing in those screws!
Very good job Mister
Excellent. Do you have the plans for this beautiful sled?
Hello Very nice crosscut sled
That is the thickness of the base 20 mm 25 mm ?
Thanks for sharing
I used 19 mm (3/4 inch)
Thanks
I like that. You make it look so easy.
Thanks~
Great work! Excellent craftsman. Many thanks.
