Small Cross Cut Sled – Precise and Versatile

I made a standard size crosscut sled but found that I was often cutting smaller pieces that would be better suited to a smaller lighter sled.
Some features implemented on the small sled:
- Fence was aligned using five cut method, with a sacrificial fence.
- Bessey clamp to hold small pieces that would be unsafe to hold by hand.
- Clamp slides in a T-track that is secured to base with epoxy
- Fence is designed so that accessories can be swapped between the sleds

Nice! I really like the method you used to square the fence. Using playing cards would also help with that fine adjustment.

Best thing I did was make a small sled. Far more useful, far more often, than a large sled.
