Step 8: Cross Cut Sled

DSCN2169.jpg
My cross cut sled is 2X2 feet of 1/2 plywood, 2X4” fence and an acrylic piece for safety. A mixed design from various ideas runs on metal miter track bars and its true 90º, can do without it.

Nice job, Stelios.

You have included an original feature I have never seen on a crosscut sled, the acryllic safety shield.

I plan to submit an Instructable for a crosscut sled of my own design, and will reference your original idea as an optional feature.

Thanks
Bill

Thanks Bill, I'm sure this is not an original idea, I have seen it somewhere and I just included this feature.
What will be practically nice (as I discover working with this feature, I had this idea) it's to have a hinge attached to the acrylic so that you can easily lift it when needed, and let gravity hold it down, as there are few times the acrylic is in your way and you might not need it :)
