Table Saw Crosscut Sled

[markgum]

in the latest flyer from ROCKLER they have their Table Saw Crosscut sled coming up on sale for $79.99 $60 off. any experience with these? I know there are several post here about table saw sleds and where to obtain plans to build your own, but thinking this might be a GREAT deal.
thoughts???
thanks for your input.

If this is the one that you are looking at I have been considering it also. Looks pretty good to me.

Hi Mike;
this is the one they have listed for sale:

the one you show is the 'portable' one not sure what that exactly means. The flyer I got in the mail don't list the portable one for sale.

Charles,
I am the same way. The price of this one makes it hard to make one. IMHO.

To join the thread; I have a saw sled that I like. The advantage is that I can clamp anywhere on the sled surface.

I checked but haven't uploaded any photos here.

I didn't realize that I had clicked on the portable link. It is for the smaller table saws. I really like the looks of the full size version. I may add this to my Christmas wish list.

Here's how I make my small ones. Big ones are similar, but I use 8/4 for the braces: http://blog.woodscrub.info/2008/05/small-crosscut-sled.html

When I go to the Rockler site, I see it for $89.99. Is there a code or something in the flyer you have?

So what holds the righthand wing after you have cut it all the way through on the first use.????

Good question.

FWIW: I made my own from 3/4 plywood and it works great.
