Crosscut Sleds

[Talfalfa33]

Been trying to find a better way to do some segmenting, and I've come up with three different sleds. Two for my shopsmith and a smaller version for my bandsaw. Since everything is a little smaller than normal, I was able to use T-Track for the angle guide and clamp rails. Even fabricated a stop for each angle sled.

Here is the one for the bandsaw that is only 8 inches square and adjustable at 15 degree increments

Thank you for sharing. Angles can be perplexing and you have made it simple.
I tend to cut on the right side of my blade and get confused with some angles and wood placement for safe cuts. Your sled with angles on the left was a great help.

Take a look at Jerry Bennett's new sled design. Search for "segmentology" on YouTube for some videos. His design is adjustable for any number of segments per ring. It uses two fences and an accurate triangle to set the fences. It will cut segments that do not need any sanding, just cut and glue together. Takes all the "angles" out of the setup.
