Now that the saw is "squared" away...
I've built a proto sled for small parts.
I've added a few features to accommodate the parts that I will cut.
It will have angle plates to facilitate quick, accurate, repeatable cuts.
It will have the most common angles cut into the sled for quick reference.
The slots will have a countersunk slot on the under side for use of a carriage bolt and threaded knob for quick adjustments.
I might add 1/2" increment marks across the sled just for giggles.
I will also add a toggle clamp to hold some of the smaller parts.
This rendering doesn't show the fence or miter bar, since I didn't use 3D software to draw it. And it will also get a 90 degree plate, it's just not shown.
This is a right hand side sled and I'm drawing up plans for other sleds.
After testing the sleds and making any final adjustments, these will be cut from solid surface for longevity and to eliminate warping and it's slick properties. I have access to the solid surface, so why not use it?
Thanks for looking.
