I use that setup a LOT, and it works great. Fence is 3/4in baltic
birch with a phenolic surface, and is plenty rigid

I also have a big sled, but find I use the 2 miter gauges and a fence
much more often, used it this last weekend to make about 300 halflaps
for a project in 10ft 2x4s and 2x6s, worked well

I've been pretty happy with using a sled for crosscutting on my

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?
