Table Saw Crosscut Sled

Take your table saw to the next level with this lightweight, high-performance crosscut sled. Unlike bulky traditional sleds, this compact design features a precision aluminum fence and cutouts in the base to reduce weight—making it easy to handle and perfect for everyday use. Despite its smaller size, this sled delivers exceptional cutting capacity and accuracy, allowing you to make flawless, square crosscuts on larger workpieces than a standard miter gauge allows.

The plan includes details for essential features like a rock-solid adjustable stop block for repeatable cuts, and a steel miter bar with spring-loaded ball bearings that ensures a snug fit in your table saw’s miter slot. You’ll also get tips for aligning your saw for optimal sled performance, plus optional accessories to expand the sled’s versatility—like a longer fence and support platform for big projects. Build this sled and upgrade your shop with a tool you’ll reach for on every project.
