Default Crosscut Sled - epiphany

I pivoted fence ends close to the blade using T nuts and machine
screws and glued blocks so they were greater than 45° from blade.
Card stock shims pull then into true 45°. T nuts ans machine screws
secure when final adjustment reached.

Ok, how about an easy way to make a 90 degree miter sled? Any tricks?

Screw two cleats at as close to 90 degrees to each other to any sled
you have. Make the intersection of the cleats land over the existing
saw kerf. Mark one side "A" and the other "B". As long as one side
of each miter is cut with the "A" side and the other the "B", you get
perfect miters.

You could even make the cleats removable and make the sled do double
duty.
