Telford P on Jun 14, 2016
I do a great deal of picture framing. This appeared to be a simple device for cutting 45 degree angles. It works well, though the sled guide does not fit the table grove as snugly as I had anticipated. With care I am able to compensate for this and get precise cuts.

Call me lazy for buying this versus making my own but I figured having something that is 45 degree sure would help to create some frame projects that I have in mind without having to tweak a new jig...but I will more than like build a new jig anyway at some point.

will this fit my skil model 3310 table saw?
richard b on Jul 20, 2015
BEST ANSWER: Probably not since the miter slot on the Skil table saw is not the normal 3/4"" x 3/8". I bought some Skil miter slot bars for my Skil table saw and I used them to make the jigs I needed.
What's the best cure for the slop in the miter slot?
Jen S on May 11, 2016
BEST ANSWER: I had the same question with my first miter sled, thought it was defective and asked Rockler to send me a replacement! Then, DUH!, I realized that there are two nylon threaded screws on the miter designed to remove the slop. Adjust in small incriments with an Allen wrench, being careful to move each screw the same amount until slop is gone. Good luck!
Can I use it with a router table miter track?
Gurgen S on Apr 30, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Works well on both my router tables.

Used the miter sled to make 45 degree cuts on cabinet framing with my table saw. The sled made the cuts come out more precise than before. Too, it's less trouble than setting up your 45 cuts on the table saw or with a miter saw. Good tool.

Wow, this thing works! Given how many times I've had do-overs with 45's, I'm pretty darn pleased with this. So far, the several 45's I've cut came out just great. I will say this, the adjustment for the miter slot is difficult at best to adjust. But with patience all things adjust.

Like some of the others, I used to avoid miters at all costs. Not so anymore. Gives me perfect 90 degree angles everytime. Worked great with my T-track with no adjustments, even on thin stock.

Great for miter cuts for picture frame molding. I made a "jigsaw puzzle tray" from 1/4" plywood with a suitable molding around it to form an edge. The miter joints came out perfect.

The concept is great but to use it the slot in your saw table must be at least 3-7/8" from the inside of the slot to the blade. My table saw is less than that. I can use it with the point of the sled away from the blade but then there is a lot of room between the blade and the sled.

Miter Sled Concern
The sled works very well when cutting miters, way easier than adjusting a miter gauge for every cut. However, it took quite a bit of fiddling and adjusting to get the incredibly tiny nylon set screws to fit my miter slot on the table saw. This is the weakest part of the tool.....and the most important. If you have a sloppy fit you will have sloppy miters. Larger nylon set screws would be a big plus.

I am very pleased with this...
I am very pleased with this miter jig. I have made many jigs over the years (from woodworking magazines), but none of them yielded the consistent joints I desired (my construction inaccuracy probably accounted for most of that!). This jig fits my old Craftsman saw perfectly (using the nylon adjustment screws). It doesn't matter if the faces are exactly 45° to the blade - since the two angles are complementary, the sum of the two cuts is exactly 90°. I made a picture frame with sides about 2 ft long, and all 4 joints were tight. This not only proves the concept, but validates the precise manufacture of the jig's 90° angle.I have already recommended it to some woodworker friends.

Really neat device. I've made things from small box frames to picture frames, to hardware for an outdoor project with better accuracy and lots less hassle than my miter gauge.
