Default Chop Saw Musings, Questions

Wed, Jul 5, 2006, 8:45am (EDT-3) doth sayeth:
of the probably dozen or so miter saws I've had to use,
thecircular-saw-and-fence jigs I've built and the sleds I've built the
sleds have been by far the most reliable and accurate. but then I'm
using a powermatic cabinet saw, so YMMV.

Yup, sleds can be made very accurate. Which is why if I decide to
use a circular saw I'll be making a base for it, to sit between two
parallel guides, making kinda a curcular saw sled. Havent worked out
the details on that yet (busy with another project), but it will be
pretty siple, and it'll make accurate cuts. I'll probably do that,
rather than a table saw sled, because the saw sledt would have to be
dedicated to just cutting those pieces, wouldn't be able to readily
adapt it to any other use. So, I'll probably make the one for t he
circular saw, which I "will" be able to to use for cutting other pieces,
and another "regular" saw sled.
