Removable Crosscut Arm

- Building an extension for a crosscut sled that allows much longer workpieces to be cut precisely.
Sorry, I do not have plans available. This device needs to be customized to your particular sled and needs. But you should be able to adapt my method to your own version.
Products I used in this video:
23 gauge pin nailer: amzn.to/3rhtywm
Dovetail clamps: amzn.to/3xih5wo
Dovetail jig hardware: amzn.to/3Kw0V6d
Great addition to the crosscut jig! Nice to be able to use scrap wood for a very practical project. Easy to take off when you don't need it.
I'm always glad when I come across a new Patrick Sullivan video. Great project, thank you for sharing.
As always, thanks for sharing. And I appreciate showing how you store your sleds. I keep scratching my head on where I'm going to store all of mine. Though I have to say mine are VERY crude, after looking at yours ;)
Thank you Patrick, a very enjoyable and informative video. The narration was excellent.
Sharing the oopsie events was good fun, and very personally identifiable. I thought “I could do that too” 😉
Not just this, but about all your videos, I'd like to say you are an inspiration, sir. From design and thought process to videography and execution, well done.
Now I would like humbly like to offer a safety tidbit to help you avoid injury. You mentioned being new to pin nailers. Succinctly, it's best to establish a habit of always firing the tool while perpendicular to a narrow workpiece. The pins, as far as I know, always have a wedge point. This rule doesn't really seem to apply in plywood, as in this project. Although in solid woods, there is a possibility of the wedge point hitting a knot or defect within the wood and deflecting out the side into your hand. With the tool perpendicular, a deflected pin is almost guaranteed to remain within the workpiece.
Fix This Build That and The Honest Carpenter have good and relatively short videos on the subject.
Thank you, another informative and well made video , well done
Yes, light sleds are the best as long as they’re strong enough to do the job at hand. 👍👍
A trick I often use is to attach a clamp to an object to steady it and add mass so it won't flop around so much on me.
That would have worked well in this case. Great idea.
Looks good. Great idea!
Well done Patrick. As usual your videos showcase excellence coupled with key information. They are a pleasure to watch and inspirational at the same time. Thanks and keep up the great work.
BTW noticed some kind of a fence used on the belt sander (at about 6:50 time marker) - looks like a useful contraption. Can you please share more info or make a short video on that? TIA
Great idea and video:) Can't wait for another one!
Nice work, we wish you more progress and prosperity PS
Great video, sir.
So I was just on my way to the shop to make a new sled when I saw this post. After discovering mine had fallen out of square after years of usage and a couple moves, I needed a version with a stop for cabinet sides (>30"). Great timing. Thanks!
Glad I could help!
I only have ONE issue with this crosscut "arm"... you didn't cut a relief for sawdust to go in between the bottom piece and the vertical piece. I know it's probably not going to be an issue since its detached from the main sled, but if it ever gets sawdust there, it may become an issue. Otherwise, this is an excellent solution and most likely something I'll be doing for my sled too !
👍 Yea Baby
Why are there so many downvotes?
Are there? How do you know?
@@riba2233 I'm on mobile right now, there's about half as many dislikes as there are likes
@@Guruc13 they removed dislikes... How can you see (without extension on desktop)
@@Guruc13 oh yeah I see it now, really weird. I guess people expected some mythbusting
Nice work Patrick! Thank you for sharing with us!👍💖😎JP
Great idea. Very useful when needed, and not having to have a huge sled that wouldn’t be fully utilized most of the time.
Brilliant, Patrick! Nicely done! 😃
Do you have a video showing how you made that first stop?
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Sorry, I made that sled and stop before I started making videos. It might make a good video for the future, though.
@@PatrickSullivan Oh, no problems! Thank you! 😊
Thank you! I always enjoy your content, Dr. Sullivan.
Thank you for the video. It's a great idea. 👍👍
This is great! I am having the same issue with my cross cut sled.
wonderfully simple build! :)
Nice addition. Do you have plans for the crosscut jig? What is your technique to be sure the sled is true 90?
As always, excellent. Thanks.
really happy you posted, was being to thing the rona got ya or something, waiting on a new glue video
Really nice sled man! I came up with a far more rigged up version by screwing a longer board to the face of the existing fence, then using a block and clamp as a stop block. Your version is much cleaner and professional looking.
I have done exactly the same thing several times. That is the reason I finally decided to make this extension.
Now I want to build a smaller sled so I can add one of these to it!
Honestly i love these videos. Always excited when you post something new. Your explanations are perfect.
Thanks for your support. I make no money from the videos, so your positive feedback is my only reward. I appreciate it.
Great job Patrick! This give me a few idea :)
You are my hero!
Nice solution to this problem, sir. I’m stuck (for now) in a very small shop, so have committed to looking for smart/small solutions to problems like this. This is inspirational. I look forward to your videos, keep ‘em coming!
Very interesting! 🤔
Nice setup 👍
nice addition - and I had to learn (via Amazon) that 23 Gauge is 25 mm
Amazon is a big fat liar. 23 gauge pins are 0.025 inches thick, or 0.64mm. They are so thin that they are practically invisible when driven in, and if you later accidentally run them through your table saw, the blade eats them without any complaint. Really handy for things like jigs.
@@PatrickSullivan sounds good, I have a much bigger one, really not handy, that destroys the wood most often with up to 4cm staples, now I understand your compasion for the smaller mashine and should try to find one. By the way: I do not trust Amazon myself, but I've found it written on the package they want to sell, maybe it is 23 gauge and 25mm wide ... - no, that doesn't sound logical - I'll take another look: Ok, me was wrong, it says: Makita 0,6mm, 23gauge, 25mm (long!) = 1", 10.000pcs f0r €10,29 :-), PINS!
We have a saying in Austria (and for sure they say it in Germany as well!): "Wer lesen kann ist klar im Vorteil" (Aiming to stupids like me, who are obviously not able the give the seen letters a meaning :-) - THANKS for your answer and keep up the good works and videos! THUMBS UP!
@@paulwyleciol3459 The cost of these pin nailers has greatly reduced. The one I bought was $50, including several thousand pins of various sizes. This is not the best or the most powerful, but for occasional use, it seems like a good value. Here is a link to the US Amazon site: amzn.to/3rhtywm
