Stop block - Accessories for the Super Sled

A stop block on your crosscut sled can improve accuracy for repeatible cuts. This video shows how to make the stop block for the Super Sled, and also compares a commercial flip stop to the shop made version.

The Super Sled combines two of my best shop jigs!

I love my original crosscut sled, so when you (the viewers) asked me to make a video about how to make that sled, I started to think of ways to improve upon the existing design.

I regularly use two different sleds in my shop:
1. My crosscut sled which I use mainly for crosscutting, and cutting shoulder cuts on tenons.
2. Wood Magazines Universal Tablesaw Jig which I use exclusively for mitering.

The Super Sled has all the benefits of my original crosscut sled, including a t-track for adjustable stop blocks. The new sled uses a flip stop, so you can keep the stop in the same place, but flip it up out of the way to make other cuts in between.

I really love mitering with Wood Magazines Universal Tablesaw jig which is why I wanted to incorporate all the features of this jig into the Super Sled. The Universal Tablesaw jig needs to be switched from one side of the blade to the other when doing complementary miters. With an identical setup on both sides of the blade, you can easily miter on either side of the blade.

I designed the Super Sled with versatility in mind. The four slots in the main board of the fence function the same as t-tracks, and allow for the inclusion of stop blocks, the miter fence, and other add-on jigs like a tenon or box joint jig.

Where can i get those hold downs?

[EagleLakeWoodworking]

The blue hold downs are part of the t-track kit from Rockler. MLCS woodworking also sells the same type.

There's plan on my site to build your own hold downs. Part of the Universal Tablesaw Jig project details how to make your own hold downs.

Visit EagleLakeWoodworking (.) com and search for "Universal Tablesaw Jig", and then browse the fles for that project, and download the plan. In the plan, you will find info on pages 6 and 11.
