I have the same sled at work and truly love it.

Wanted a sled for long time! Chose Rockler cross cut sled (larger one) because it does about everything small sled will do plus larger pieces and miters. Can't go wrong w excellent reviews. Making sled from scratch just too exacting to get 100% right for someone with limited skill and patience, like me. After I see how well this fits on small Dewalt saw, I hope to order drop off platform. Costs way less than other brand and seems simpler. Like that.

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.
BEST ANSWER: The springs that hold the bearings in place, are too short.
There is a YouTube video by David Stanton addressing this issue and a great fix for it.
Hope that helps.

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.

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.

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.

will this sled work with a sawstop contractor saw?
Has anyone tried using this with your table saw blade at a 45 deg angle? For cutting beveled miter cuts on crown moulding?
BEST ANSWER: It would be good if you had a hold down clamp to keep the material from slipping at the greater angles.

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.

How compatible is this sled for bevel cuts?
My saw has a left lean
My saw has a left lean
BEST ANSWER: My crosscut sled was very accurate. I used several truing devices to measure the angles and all seemed to be right on the money. I needed the sled to be very accurate for some jewelry boxes I was making that had many small pieces and multiple angles on each piece. Works great on small pieces of wood and keeps your fingers away from the saw blade.
Your left leaning blade needs to be fixed first if you want accurate cuts. Turn the saw table upside down and adjust the saw trunnions to true up the blade.

Two questions will the crosscut sled and platform work when all safety equipment is installed? Also will this sled and platform work on a so called contractors table saw and also has wheels on the table saw? Thanks Jim
BEST ANSWER: I dont see why not as long as it has a slot for the rail to slide in. However a bigger table top with a longer slot would be much more handy as the sled may over hang and naturally tip downward. I have a table saw slot that didn't fit the location on the sled. I had to modify (relocate the rail) and that took a little work, but even a novice woodworker should be able to handle. All in all, its one of the best purchases I have made. Its extremely handy.

Will this work with a Dewalt DWE7491?
BEST ANSWER: I have this set up and am not happy with it. The table on the saw could use a side table to keep everything stable. A outfeed table would also make this better. In my onion a smaller sled would work better on this saw.

will it work with sawstop jobsite?
BEST ANSWER: I have seen but not worked with the Sawstop Jobsite. You just need to check the width of the miter fence slot. The left side slot is used by the Crosscut sled to align and hold the sled. As far as I know this is a standard .75 inch width. So it should work. The other consideration is that the Sawstop table is shorter so you might need an outfeed roller to hold up the sled as it finishes the cut.
Hope this helps. BTW, I use my sled more often than I thought I would.

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.

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.

Hi, I just got my crosscut this Friday love it but I find that the Adjustable stop is not working like it should.I find that if I but something against it and tighten it down it movie the ever so slight to the right which moves the peace I'm going to cut very annoying. Is Faulty or am I doing something wrong When I do tight it down its almost like it's not sitting flush and then jumps to sit flush if it makes sense ?
BEST ANSWER: Mine does the same, that thing is pretty much worthless. I just clamp on a block for a stop. Otherwise, I love the sled!

I recently added stabilizers to my saw blade which moved the kerf of the blade away from the sled by about 1/8". Anyone have any thoughts on re-zeroing? I think my only option is to move the miter track over about a half inch and recutting, but I wanted some feedback before I gave that a try.
BEST ANSWER: Interesting, I have been thinking about adding stabilizers & was wondering the same thing. Also, would need to adjust for your zero clearance plates as well. While I haven't done this yet, I think you are on the right track.

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.
