In the workshop, crosscutting larger panels that are more than 300mm wide has always been a challenge. My mitre saw is too small, the mitre gauge on the table saw isn't that much better, and my crosscut sled can't handle panels without modification or replacement. So what's the solution?

I was inspired by ‪@MakeSomething‬ to give making a sliding mitre panel accessory for my table saw a go. After a few teething issues, the end result allows me to cross-cut almost double what I was able to before.

Is this the ultimate table saw accessory? That's probably a stretch, but it has me thinking that I probably won't be replacing my mitre saw if the day comes it dies.

Big thank you to #vevordiyproject #vevor ‪@vevor.official‬ for providing the rails for this project.

Let me know your thoughts, is this something you'd find useful in your shop?
