Ah very good JPG.

Your link would be better. I was thinking of making that jig/sled but moving the fence back to accommodate wider stock. I like the idea of using the feather board that I already have. No need to hunt down a toggle clamp.

This is a very professional looking picture you posted. Do you have a plan? How would you modify this to make raised panels, for example?

Yes I do have the plans that I picked off the internet. They are for a "45 degree bevel sled":[ATTACH]22616[/ATTACH]

If I was going to use something like this for raised panels, I think a different kind of sled would work better line this one: [ATTACH]22617[/ATTACH]

I can cut up to a 16' board with very little difficulty. For longer boards (like clapboard siding), I add additional out-feed rollers as support. The Shopsmith makes an excellent Miter Saw Stand (albeit a little more expensive than one from Dewalt).

I'd be interested in seeing some pictures of this set-up. Either here, a new thread, or by email. Thank you.

I'm out of town for a while so I'll take some pictures when I return and post them.

I'm back in town so here is the promised picture:

Here it is with a 10' piece of poplar that I need to cut to length for rails and stiles to make a kitchen cabinet door. My SCMS is just clamped to the Shopsmith table and the outrigger tables are adjusted to provide support. Very simple and very easy.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

dragginbutt wrote:Wow, I had not thought of that. I purchased a cheap table top table saw just for those times I needed a bevel cut. I can see a bunch of guys filing quick patents for new accessory for this with some sort of adjustable angle that can be locked at various angles. OK all you engineers, get busy... I'll buy one

Too Late! Shopsmith already did it:) and discontinued it:(.

How do I make a 45deg bevel cut on my MK V safely?
