The sled is a sliding table more than anything else. I, too can crosscut
small stock all day at 90 with my miter gage, but when I need to control a
board too long or too wide, out comes the sled. Before I mounted rails
under the plywood, I'd screw its fence to the miter gage. Still do for some
weird angle cuts which are jigged on mini-sleds.

Don't need two, just one, properly done.

I've been pretty happy with using a sled for crosscutting on my
table saw. My crosscuts are mostly 90 degreees.

I was just reading an old FWW shop tip about using two miter gauges
joined by a fence instead of a sled. It got me to wondering how well
that would work. It seems like it would be somewhat less rigid than
sled, but easier to make and more flexible with regard to cutting
different angles.

Does anyone here use the 2 miter gauge/fence setup? How do you like
it as compared to a sled?
