Cross Cut Sled

What happens here

A cross-cut sled is shown in use on a table saw. This jig, designed specifically for making perfectly square cross-cuts, features a large flat base with integrated runners that slide smoothly in the table saw's miter slots. It also includes a front fence and a crucial back fence against which the workpiece is placed. The sled, with the workpiece firmly held against the back fence, is pushed through the blade to make an accurate 90-degree cut, ensuring straight and consistent cuts for stock preparation or component sizing.

Goal: Make perfectly square and repeatable cross-cuts on a table saw.
