I purchased the sled, but found that the miter bar has too much slop. Adjusting the ball bearings on the bar helps only so much. In fact, the bearings move very little. The bar never tights in the slot. Not sure if I'm adjusting them right.
Has anyone attempted to build an L-shaped extension to the fence to support longer stock? If so, how did it perform?
BEST ANSWER: There is one attempt at an extension that I saw on lumberjocks, but it doesn't add much. You could increase the length based on his plans. Just search for rockler sled.

Will this item fits sawstop jobsite?
BEST ANSWER: I use the crosscut sled on a Bosch table top saw. This saw is basically too small for using the crosscut sled. The miter slot is too close to the blade. However, what I did was trim the left sled bored flush with the saw blade. then I used the excess piece that I trimmed off and glued this to the right side sled board, and trimmed that even with the blade; thus giving me a left and right side cutoff sled with zero clearance to the blade. But to do this, you need to purchase, both the main cutoff sled (left side) AND the optional right side drop off table. Also, I use an extension table on the left side of my saw to rest the left side crosscut table on as it otherwise hangs off too far on the left. With these modifications it works very well. The crosscut sled is really made for contractor-type saws (such as the Delta Contractors Saw). But with some ingenuity it can be modified to work on a smaller saw, such as my Bosch.

My porter cable small 10 inch saw only has 6 inches to the left of the slot, but has an extendable table on the right side of the blade. if the sled was "opposite hand" it would be better. I am considering building out the table on the left side to accommodate the slide, but not an easy task. Has anyone done this?
BEST ANSWER: I did exactly that and bolted my new extension to the left. worked just fine, made sure it was level by using straight edge..great product...I have had no problems with not working, I set up just as they said checked for square and when set to 22.5 degrees made my circle perfect...Hope this has helped you.

will this sled work with a sawstop contractor saw?
I have a dewalt 7490
The miterslot is 6" from the blade.
Will the sled work for this saw?
The miterslot is 6" from the blade.
Will the sled work for this saw?
BEST ANSWER: WHEN you put the sled into the slot, assuming it fits the slot, you run the sled through the blade and it cuts the sled to the exact dimension for your saw. This gives you a zero tolerance cut which is ideal. You might also consider buying the matching cut off sled (not the actual name) that catches the cut off section so that it doesn't splinter when the cut is complete, giving a much cleaner cut.

I have a DeWalt 744 contractor's saw with a 27" x 19.5" table top and not a full size saw. Will it work with with the saw?
BEST ANSWER: I have the Dewalt 744. Use the smaller version specifically for small saws. It is what I have, along with the off cut. I like it, although be aware that if you are cutting something tall that the fence pulls out of perpendicular when you tighten it down. When I do that I use some paper to wedge it into alignment. I just upgraded to a full size saw, and this will be one of my first purchases.

What is the cross cut capacity?
BEST ANSWER: I'm unsure what you are looking for as an answer to this. The sled is 23 3/4" wide so anything longer than that will be hanging off the edge. The capacity then becomes a question of how dense the wood you are cutting is because more dense wood will cause more leverage in a shorter distance as it hangs over the edge. That combined with whether you clamp it down using the built in fence or just use your fingers to hold it in place. You will essentially be able to cut a longer piece of light wood that is clamped at the fence as compared to dense wood that you are holding in place with your fingers.

does it work with porter cable table saws?
BEST ANSWER: PRobably. Just slide it through your miter slot . Youll have to trim it to your particular saw. Just run it though and buzz off the excess MDF

I bought this sled and used it on a Ryobi, which I later sold. I have replaced it with a Rigid. The sled no longer is wide enough to reach the blade on the Rigid. How can I adapt the sled to my new saw?
BEST ANSWER: the miter bar sits in a routed groove; relocating the bar is not a good approach.
my solution would be to rip off a hard wood - maple suggested - strip at least 2x the width needed. glue that strip onto the router sled and then recut.
be aware - different saw blades have different kerf widths so presuming you've overcome the large distance issues, switching blades you will still encounter small differences sled-to-actual-kerf.

Will this work with a Ryobi 10" table saw?
BEST ANSWER: It will work with the miter slot but because the saw top is so small it is awkward and probably unsafe to use. I built an indeed table to rest my sled on. It is far from ideal. I also bought the smaller version from Rockler which is easier to use. That's fare for small pieces. I also have a larger Bosch job site saw and the sled is too big for that top top. If I were you I'd make a small crosscut sled or buy an Incra like miter gauge to use for cross cutting.

Can i use it on Bosch PTS10 Table Saw?
BEST ANSWER: Probably. I answer that way because there is only one variable that would prevent it. I had a table saw that had non-standard width groves for the miter gage. Since the CrossCut Sled comes with a standard width bar to fit into that slot, it may or may not fit into a non-standard width slot. Since all the other variables such as distance of the slot from the blade and the cut position on the table are all accounted for during the setup process, the sled will work with almost every table saw available.

I have a dewalt contractor table saw. The channel guides in this saw are a t shape. Will this sled work with my saw?
BEST ANSWER: Yes, it just won't lock into the slot like a mitre gauge usually does.
I have a DeWalt contractor saw also. It has T shaped slots and it works fine.

I own a Craftsman 10 inch table saw. Does anyone make a miter sled that will fit into the 5/8 inch miter slots? Why are there not miter bars of that size available. I can't be the only person to buy a craftsman saw.
BEST ANSWER: Had similar problem, but the company gave you some white silicone plastic, very slippery and I cut a piece off about 1/4 inch high by 10 inches and fastened to the edge, holds great great adhesive and now it slides very well and it also fits perfectly. needed to adapt not all things are perfect, but this did the trick and I do have a nice even slide in miter slot

What size router bit is used the create the t-track on the sacrificial fence? We need to make some new ones.
BEST ANSWER: It's a "keyhole" t-slot cutter, Rockler #92024; you'll need to make 2 passes to get the correct width of slot. If part of one of the old ones still has the slot intact you can use it as a guide.

I am thinking about buying the sled and the drop off. I am a little concerned about the fit I will get in the mitre slot on my Rigid 400?? has anyone bought this item and have it working on the Rigid T2400?
Has anyone tried using this with your table saw blade at a 45 deg angle? For cutting beveled miter cuts on crown moulding?

I've had this now for about...
I've had this now for about a year, and waited to provide a review for just that reason. It's good, does what I need it to do, but it's not really worth full price. I got it on sale, and was glad I did. First, the miter bar that says it's adjustable isn't really the best miter bar that it could have. There's still some slop until the last ball bearing engages the track as you're pushing the sled into the cut. Second, zeroing out was really easy-a real bonus. Third, the stop that comes with it is worse than useless. Looks nice, but there's far too much play between the head of the stop and the arm! the hex nut has a "on" or "off" feel to it: either way too loose, or locked down solid (thus making the "flip" part of the stop nonfunctional). The head of the stop, too, has way too much play and I can't get it locked down so there's no play. The drop-off platform is a real bonus, and does what I need it to do, too. Finally, if your miter slots are non-standard, you'll have to trim the table to fit, but check the distance of your miter slots with before you purchase this if your miter slots aren't one of the common sizes. My bottom line: save your money, take a weekend and some patience and and make your own.

Update 3 years later...
I appreciate this jig more every time I use it. A little more information is in order about "perfect" setup. Get your blade aligned with the fence before doing anything else. The blade should be as parallel to the miter slot as possible. Once that is done, move the jig's fence to line up with the front of the blade and place a large draftsman's square against the saw blade, not touching the teeth. Slide the jig forward a bit and align the jig's fence with the edge of the sqare. Once you have a perfect 90 degree alignment, lock down the fence and loosen the transparent plastic indicator on the jig and align the indicator line with the zero mark. This process will assure that any angle you cut will be as near perfect as possible. Put a flat shelf near your table saw with a couple of pieces of MDF on it to give the miter bar space while the MDF supports the jig's table. This will help keep it flat over the years. It will also keep it handy because once you learn how accurate this gadget is, you'll be using it frequently. You can also add a sacrificial board behind the work piece to stop tear out. Read the instructions thoroughly before you cut it to size on your saw. And consider also buying the drop off sled as well. It really helps make a clean cut.

Tablesaw Cross Cut Sled: Disappointed
Sled Material is very cheap MDF. One slight bump and it chipped, it is not going to last long. The stop jumps when you tighten it down, making it difficult to accurately set. The miter bar design is lacking, bearings do not provide enough material to eliminate slop. I do like the all aluminum adjustable sled bar, it is easy to lock down and easy to zero out for square cuts.

I've only been in woodworking for about 6 months. I tried creating my own sled, but it just wasn't 100% so I decided to purchased this crosscut sled. I own a Ridgid 3660 Table Saw and when I got this sled I thought, at first, I messed up because it hung over the hole where the blade is. I went ahead and put the sled on my table saw and with a 80 tooth blade, turned on the table saw and cut the sled to perfect size. I also purchased the drop off platform and had to do the same. I used them both everyday and has saved me a lot of time and grief trying to make my cuts 100% accurate.

The cut off sled is dead on accurate. I use it with the drop off table. I checked it for square right out of the box. A machinist square confirmed the accuracy. I then arbitrarily tried a 30 deg. cut, and measured it for accuracy. I didn't have to make any adjustments. I've used it a number of times since my recent purchase. A great value, especially when purchased as a unit.

I'm not the easiest guy to...
I'm not the easiest guy to please but I have to say I was impressed with this product. The sled is very well designed and equally well made. The main board is 1/2" thick 23-3/4" x 23-3/4" MDF table with melamine coating. This combined with the low friction slippery tape applied to the bottom makes it glide very well.The miter slide bar has spring-loaded ball bearings that have adjustable tension to eliminate slop in the miter slot. The aluminum fence is nicely sized and measures 3" high x 25" long. The MDF fence face measures 2-7/8" high x 27" long and can be repositioned at any time to suit your needs and can be removed and replaced at will.The easy-to-read 1/2° graduations and a hair-line indicator and larger scale makes this a breeze to use. The 90° stop is steel and adjustment screw is held in place with LocTite so it won't move once it's adjusted.Both table boards come a bit wider and allows the user to custom fit this to their particular saw.The sled drop off platform in made the same way. The miter bar has the same spring-loaded ball bearings but includes an additional feature that locks it in position so it doesn't move.Conclusion:As I'm concerned, this is one of the nicest and easiest to use miter gage / sleds on the market and will be in my shop for a good long time. Is it cheap; no, but them again nothing is these days but the quality and forethought make this a real winner.This miter gage functions the same basic way any miter gage does, it follows the T-slot in the cast iron top. If your saw blade is not parallel with the T-slot then your cuts will be off. I suggest you periodically check this to ensure accurate repeatable cuts. Once this is done then trim the table boards to size and you'll be good to go.

Bad fit.
The miter bars didn't fit the miter slots on my table saw. Someone should tell you this might happen. I was really disappointed. Now I have to send the whole thing back and it is costly to do that. I have purchased several things from Rockler , but this was a major disappointment. Editor's note: As described in this on-line offer this sled requires a standard miter track 3/4" w x 3/8" deep.

Very disappointing
I have a SawStop contractor saw, with a standard 3/4" miter slot, but the miter bar on the sled is too narrow and has considerable slop. Also, the glue on the low friction tape bunched up, making much of the tape useless.

I bought the crosscut sled and drop-off platform. fter adjusting the tension to the maximum there was little resistance from the ball bearings. The springs compress with just finger pressure, My saw miter slot measured 0.753". The sled miter bar measured 0.730". The slop is 0.023", enough to "clunk" and not worth the $ for the set. I returned the product.

I purchased the Table Saw Crosscut Sled when it first came out. It is a great improvement over the shop made jig that I had. I am very pleased with it, and I recommend it very highly for a wood shop. I want to add another comment about Rockler products. I receive other wood working magazine's but I always go back to your company for parts and shop items. Your personnel are always friendly and helpful. Thanks
