seems that everyone uses a sled on their ts

well at least in the videos i have watched

i like the idea and so i am making one or maybe two


if you have a sled do you use the same one for dados or do you have
two sleds

I Never use a sled with when cutting a dado. That said IIRC you bought
a 6" dado set. How deep do you think you can cut if you use a sled?

I do have a left and right Dubby sled and have used them extensively
over the past 18 years.


small shop and do not want two sleds

A left and right side sled is handy if you are cutting asymmetrical
moldings at an angle.



thinking of devising an insert so that i have one sled with two inserts

anyone done this

what else is there to know about making the sled

steel versus wood runners

like the idea of steel runners but wood may work fine too
metalsupermarkets.com had some cold rolled that would work


my ts has t slots but the sled runners probably should not lock into
the slots as they might get caught up

I've had my TS for better than a decade and I don't have a sled on it. That
being said, probably the best place to see different options and determine
what you want or maybe more than one is YouTube. Lots of great videos and
maybe a scary one or two.
