The kit comes with two precision mitre bars that fit face-to-face and run in your table saw’s mitre gauge slot, as well as four dovetail track screws that allow you to secure a fence or stops to the upper face of the plywood sled at any position or angle.

Making the necessary plywood base for the sled kit to work with involves routing some dovetail grooves in the base and drill­ing a few holes to fix the base to the sled kit mechanism. It’s not hard work. There are a number of approaches to using the com­pleted sled. One simple approach is to use shop-made wood blocks with holes drilled through them to act as stops. These stops can be quickly and easily positioned and clamped on the sled, provid­ing you with virtually any angle to cut a workpiece at. Another approach is to make a solid wood or plywood fence with long slots in it. The dovetail track screws extend through the fence and into the routed dovetail grooves on the plywood base. With a bit of inge­nuity, users can very likely come up with many other approaches to using this kit for help around their shops.

If you’ve ever wondered how to cut angles on some unique parts, or are just looking for a safer, faster and more accurate way of deal­ing with simple angles, you should consider this sled kit.
