Mitre Fence for Slider

Is the unit swing-adjustable

Chuck Nickerson

to handle situations where the vertical pieces are a different width than the horizontal pieces?

I have the INCRA sliding table / miter gage, length gage combo which I like a great deal. I use my CMS for most projects, but if I have a number of cuts to make very accurately I use the Incra.

The price was a little high, but I was at a WW show and it looked soooo nice!

Congrats on your build

Seems to me you solved your dilemma. Nice work.

Your effort reminded me of a sled I was given. It was called a Dubby and was made for segmented turners.

I got mine at the end of a woodworking show teardown. I was told that a different saw was to be used at the next show and this one was not set up for the new saw and this one was headed for the trash bin as it had no further use. Of course I offered to save it from the land fill.

It isn't set up for my saw eiither but can be made to work, ( or reverse engineered) if I ever get around to it. For now a chop saw works for my applications, but I ought to spend some time on the Dubby as new ones are over $350 US dollars these days. They come in left and right angles.

I'd like to see your plans when you get a chance. Different, but maybe better.

Derek.....another great piece of kit......and you made it!

I have this basic jig for the table saw and have been wanting to add arms for repeatable lengths......

you've given me some ideas with this.....thanks.

I see a chop saw in the background. Why are you cutting miters on a table saw?

Well, let's see......

I can cut wider miters on the table saw than the chop saw which has a 10" blade.

This simple table saw jig gives perfect 90* corners......even if its made in such a way that one side is a little over/under 45*......the other side of the jig will produce the complementary angle under/over 45*.

My chop saw is an early model by Delta.....built like a tank (65 pounds).....and intended for use in construction. There is not much adjustability in these early saws.....like making sure the blade is at 90* to the table (vertical)......also there is no stock hold-down so there is always the possibility of stock creep during the cut.....the chop saw is useful.....but, I believe I'm getting more precision on the table saw for certain things.

What I've used for years

I have both the left and right hand versions of the Dubby crosscut sled. I started with the left of the blade version and used it so much that I later bought the other one at a show. My first one is so old the arm is wooden unlike the aluminum ones on the later versions. It's very accurate, can be set up for repeat cuts, and I like the ability to micro-adjust (sneak up on) the cut length when necessary.

Yes. There is about 25 degrees of movement to each side ( estimated, not measured).
