I agree it is the first thing you should make when you get a table saw and that’s what I’m going to do
Literally just made one as I was watching.. Thanks very much
Excellent video and instructions!
Excellent video! To-the-point, simply explained with every step shown nicely, and only essentials.
cool and simple, but why no pivot point instead of full glue/screws?
Great design – thank you!
Very simple 👌
👍👍👍
Okay, just bought a De Walt DW7485 – I guess I really need to get on and build your simple sled!
Super easy and super useful – a great video! Thanks
I like it. Thanks for sharing. I’m going to make one for myself. Thanks
This is great.
I was wondering how you’d make sure it was square… As a semi newbie, I hadn’t thought of cutting halfway through it and squaring up from the cut 😉
👍
Very simple and useful jig. Compliments!
I loved the simplicity of it, The one I made came out awesome as per your instructions, looking forward to seeing other projects, thank you very much
You’re right! This should’ve been the first thing I should’ve made! Part of me wonders why these aren’t mass produced for table saws🤷🏻♂️
Love the simplicity of this sled. Thank you.
The best video for newbies like me.
Very smart👍👍👍
Brilliant and simple to follow. I will be making one this week. Thank you.
Excelente…, gostei de algumas dicas, tenho um que fiz já a algum tempo e terei que refazer o talvez fazer outro, deu um pequeno problema…, vamos ver !❤️
Abraço aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷
Great! Thanks
Awesome! I was looking for one of these now i get to make one!
Thank you, made a very similar one. Salute from Spain
Good video, but I must say I’m surprised you still have all your fingers – wouldn’t a riving knife help? Last year 65,000 people had life changing injuries due to table saws, including my friend who nearly lost his thumb.
Do I need to make a cross cut sled if I just have a small 8 1/4 in portable table saw? I only use it in my garage but all the cross cut sleds I have seen on YouTube have been for very large shop table saws?
First time I’ve seen your videos, Dimitri. Very heartening to see a Greek woodworker take such a prominent position on YouTube.
Great video! So simple and functional… 👏🌹🇦🇺✌️
Does it detract from sled at all if you leave rails a little longer in front?
Very easily understood instruction manual on how to make a table saw sled. Thank you sir.
would you please share the dimensions if you wont mind…thank you…its so simple… i want to make the same
Thank you for a simple sled. Most are too complicated. Well done.
First thing you should make, after a push handle! 100% agreed. Great video!
Clear and simple insturctions. I will make one tomorrow
You should verify squareness using the 5 cut method.
New sub. Thanks 🙏
Best simple plan I have seen. Thanks
Off to build it!
The way you purnacate the word "saw" makes it sounds like such an elegant tool! Classy!
Can you use vassaline to lubricate it instead of bees wax
I’m beginner and I’ve watched a lot of films about easy sledge for my table saw but your’s the easiest. Thanks!
the first SIMPLE cross cut sled instructional video in YT. Thanks and subscribed!
Easy, simple, good. Thank you very much
DONT glue the back board support. Screw on only, allows for adjustment. Also cut a a small chamfer on the bottom of the rear board to allow for any dusk
This is all I need but how long can I rip pieces length wise?
Thanks for posting this. I’m planning to make a ‘simple’ sled, so have been watching several videos. You obviously understand what the word ‘simple’ means!
Absolutely love this
good instructions, easy to follow,really like this sled
Thank you! This is the first video I came across where the guy wasn’t using a table saw sled to make the table saw sled 👍
Yeah I’m making something like this too. Simple. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for taking the time to share. Making one today.
