Learn step by step on how to make a super easy, simple, accurate table saw sled and why it will completely change the way you do woodworking. My table saw sled has seen better days. I’ve had it for a few years and it’s time to replace it. I didn’t want to spend money buying one so I made one using particle board. Hopefully, this video helps you to make one yourself.

My table saw sled has seen better days. I’ve had it for a few years and it’s time to replace it. I didn’t want to spend money buying one so I made one using particle board. Hopefully, this video helps you to make one yourself.

My sled is not “the ultimate” table saw sled. I don’t have fancy features or Bluetooth. I’ve seen some amazing sleds, but they just aren’t for me. I like bare bones simple shop jigs and this is a sled that you can make in an afternoon.

The dimensions of my table saw sled is approximately 34”L x 23”W. The fence is 4” tall. The bottom is made from 1/2” particle board and the fences are made with two pieces of 3/4” thick particle board. I used scrap walnut for the rails.

I’m confident that there are other ways to perform these tasks. This video is a glimpse into my shop and how I make things. If you want to follow along on my woodworking journey, make sure you subscribe and hit the notification bell so you are alerted to my daily videos.
