I have used cross cut sleds and miter sleds for many years but never

height of table saw blade, while a bevel sled cut is limited only by
the size of the sled.

Found the bevel sled made it easy to make a mitred corner box that
went together clean and square.
Properties of this sled that contribute to precise cuts:
1. Fence on the miter sled was calibrated by 5-cut method to get it
dead square to the blade. 2. Stops on the miter sled fence ensure that

the length of box pieces are exactly the same. 3. Clamps on both
fences keep the material flat on the base during the cut.
4. Tight fitting UHMW runner eliminates any play between the sled and
saw table.

I'm confused.Â* Why not just use your rip fence?

Are you going to participate in this group or is this click bait?
For picture frames I use a gauge similar to this one.

Rockler 45 Degree Miter Sled

With mine I extended the bar so that he thead was in the middle so I
could just flip it end to end to cut the other side of the corner. Also
add a 2" X 14" X 1"of piece of maple attach to the face of the head to
extend the support for the piece being cut.

With oposite sides of the frame Exactly the same lenght, I get perfect
mitered corners.

For a cost of $19.99 it is not worth my time o build one myself4

While I never have had a need for it Rockler has ar 22.5° Miter Sled
