45 sleds

[Hexhead]

Has anyone made any 45 degree sleds for cutting 45 on the end of pen blanks so it is repeatable If the blanks are the same.

Thanks

I have shown this one before. It is made for my tablesaw and can do many different things. The example on the saw is one of the simple segmented blanks I made not that long ago.

Nicely done, John.

It's time to dismantle the one I built and re-use the clamps on one that looks like yours :biggrin:

Yes that is aluminum. Here is the thread showing the pens done with that technique.

As I said you can do alot with a dedicated sled. I have one made for 60 degrees also. Don't tell anyone but you can make segmented scallops using that sled also.

Really like what you have shown. My question and please forgive me if it sounds stupid, as I do not have room for a table saw I like to know can this jig be sued on a Table Saw?
did not want to assume.
Thanks really a neat project
