The Woodshop Shed

Mitre Sled

For my End Table Table Top that is shown on my Blog I wanted to make a mitre sled to cut the mitre corners as accurately as possible. I built a 45 degree sled following the YouTube video by William Ng.My sled however did not come out dead on perfect on the first correction adjustment like William's.After thinking about why mine was not able to be adjusted to meet my expectations I re-cut the chevron that had sat an Arizona summer in a house cooled to 88 degrees and sat upright on the upper shelf of my closet.First correction adjustment triangle came out very close and I used that to cut the outer frame of the table top.Needing a shop fix today I went through the sled adjustment with 2 adjustment cuts. I used the drill press to pretrial holes for the screws that fix the chevron to the sled. Came out 0.0025” in a 16 inch length. Good enough for me.William makes it look so easy.Here is a link to the table top blog.https://www.lumberjocks.com/gdaveg/blog/132348
