Stepped Crosscut Box
Oct 25, 2005
I added a removable step to the sliding crosscut sled for my tablesaw, as shown above. This gives me two fences to work with. I use the front fence to square one end of my stock and the back fence to cut the stock to length using a stop. Another advantage of this setup is that I can replace the step at any time and saw a fresh kerf so that I can better see the exact cut line. Also, I can remove the step to cut wider pieces.
