Of course none of the rest of us have ever been guilty of that.

(maybe even PTWFE) I saw plans for a sled that you also used for all manner of angle cuts etc. I have a book of "Jigs & Fixtures" here "someplace" (dang I say that a lot). Maybe that was where it was. I'll look tonight. I recall one that used swinging stops to make the angles and another where you just cut angled blocks and dropped them in place where they were held with guide pins for accurate angle cuts.
I couldn't find the sled pictures I was looking for but I did do some Google "image" searching (table saw cutoff sled) and found this one which is a little similar to the one I had seen for making angle cuts.

I have also seen sleds that had a piece of plexiglas about 4" or 5" inches wide on top over the full length of the blade path. It would do a good job of stopping something like a flying carbide tip or the like.

Tomorrow makes a week. Need updated photos of you hand progressheathicus wrote:I had an incident yesterday that really scared me. I was ripping some boards on my Craftsman table saw for the "cowboy cooler" I'm building for a Christmas present. I thought I was being safe. I had the guard in place, I was using push sticks, wasn't standing in line with the blade, etc. But then I made a careless mistake.......

Dusty...
Thanks for posting the pictures. Very good illustrations of the subject being discussed, as your photos usually are. I found it entertaining that you called your safety appendage (aka "doghouse") ugly. If you would really like to ugli-fy the doghouse you can do as I did to mine...With a red magic marker I wrote in large letters across the back of the doghouse "NO HAND!" I did this after I discovered that I had a tendency to use the doghouse as a handle to push the sled, thereby totally defeating its purpose. The magic marker letters keep me honest. Even though I have the ss x-cut sled, which I really like, I still use my "ugly" sled for shorter pieces.

Interesting thread.
A while back I posted a "sled" which is at:
https://forum.shopsmith.com/viewtopic.php?t=485
The exact reason I built this was for cutting short pieces. I too use a pencil to control the cut off parts and the miter grip to hold the stock in place. This is really a dirt simple easy to make jig and I have cut at least 4920 parts on one project alone with it (well the version before the one I posted but it was identical to the one shown).
I built 140 of these "kites" as a project and a few extras of the pieces I'm sure. There are 41 pieces per kite each 3/8" thick.
[ATTACH]6808[/ATTACH]
Sorry but my arms were not long enough to get this shot and having it turning didn't help either.
This is a close up so you can see the parts.
[ATTACH]6809[/ATTACH]
I now have a new piece to work with this but I don't have any pictures, perhaps tomorrow. It was an idea that begged to be stolen for use as a safety device on a shopsmith. Just to cold in the shop to go out and shot any photos tonight and my battery indicator shows it time for a recharge.

My little crosscut sled
Hi,
Similarly, I've attached a homebuilt sled I use a lot. Actually I don't do a lot of the small-parts cutting, but I found taping the parts to the sled was very helpful for those cases.
As it turns out this is also a great sled to use for horizontal-boring and disc-sanding the ends my pen-blanks. Very straightforward to clamp them down with a C-clamp and have everything nice and square.

I've added the text description of the idea and pictures over at the sled posting:

Here is a shot of how this works just in case you only want the short condensed version in a picture.
