Cross Cut Sled

[fjimp]

Having also purchased one I can say I am very satisfied with it. It may not be as large as some would like(Big enough for my '500'). I REALLY like the replacable(make it yourself) zero clearance insert. Only problem is they are not available all year long(seasonable/available during slow winter months).

Be advised they sell a shopsmith version with miter slot bars. The standard sled does not have ANY bars(you must add them yourself). It sells for 10$ more. It is also pre-drilled for them. Looking at their site today I see NO reference to the SS version. These folks are SS fans and I am sure they can accomodate ya if at all possible! BTW when I purchased mine, it included the mitre attachment(cost 189$).

I have both table the appalachia and shopsmith sleds. Most of my usage is with the shopsmikth sled and the sliding tables Nick introduced us to in the sawdust sessions. I have built a couple of them and find they do numerous different tasks. Once we get moved and have space the Applachia sled will be used more frequently. fjimp
