Description of ๐Ÿ”จ Fulton DIY Table Saw Crosscut Sled Kit: 2 UHMW Bars, 2 Aluminum Tracks, 1 Knob, 1 Bolt, and GUIDE to Build Your Own Crosscut Sled - Full Color Booklet

If you own a table saw, you probably have come across a situation or two where you need to make smaller cuts or make cross cuts. You may also have had the need to make repetitive cuts of the same length. Making small cuts, cross cuts and repetitive length cuts is where table saw crosscut sleds excel. Crosscut sleds help stabilize the work piece and are very accurate since they are essentially calibrated to your saw during the sled building process. Some time ago we noticed a lot of companies had UHMW bars available for purchase. While we as a woodworking company know exactly what they are used for, many novice or non-woodworkers do not. Thatโ€™s when we decided to create this package with pre-cut UHMW bars, pre-cut aluminum track, a knob and bolt and an easy to understand how to guide booklet so you can create your very own, custom crosscut sled to fit your table saw!. UHMW bars are most commonly used as runners for crosscut sleds since they donโ€™t produce as much friction as wood does. Another advantage is that UHMW wonโ€™t expand or contract like wood does during drastic weather changes. Each bar is approximately 3/4โ€ x 3/8โ€ which fits most standard table saw slots. UHMW bars are also slick and wonโ€™t leave any residue, dust or shavings behind like wooden bars tend to do. The tracks that are included in this kit are made from solid extruded aluminum and are Made in the USA. Each track is cut to length for the perfect sub-fence on the crosscut sled. The included knob and bolt is for making a simple stop block which when finished, can slide the length of either track along the sub-fence. The stop block will allow you to make repetitive cuts without having to constantly move and measure the fence distance each time you make a cut. We have also included a full color and detailed how to guide book to help you with the crosscut sled building process. Each kit comes with 2 each 19โ€ long by 3/4โ€ by 3/8โ€ UHMW bars, 2 each 12โ€ long mini tracks, 1 each knob, 1 each 1/4โ€ by 20 tpi bolt and a how to build your own crosscut sled guide book. Make your crosscut sled to the size you want or need for your table saw and your specific cutting needs. Please Note, the bars do NOT FIT RYOBI table saw track slots.

Good kit - bought for bevel

I ordered this kit specifically for bevel as it can take some time to manufacture to set up the saw and such. The parts fit perfectly on my new Ridgid r4518 table saw, don't wobble and slide easily. Equipment and fixture directions are clear and precise. The hardware is what you'll find in one of the tool kits here at Revain and I've had no problems with it, even in a garage that regularly hits 100C in the South Florida summer. As long as you follow these instructions, or some other plan, youโ€ฆ

Good option for fast carriages

I have a 'temporary' saw and don't want to spend a lot of time (or valuable hardwood material) making a homemade carriage that may soon not fit my new saw. I got this to allow myself to do some small projects for the upcoming winter. In general, I was impressed by the set. The rails are shorter than I would like, but overall they make a good sized sled for most people. For those who want to build a sled with this kit, I recommend making the sled wider on the side of the table (usually the right

Pros
  • Power & Hand Tools
Cons
  • Expensive

The guide rails are made of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene. This is not the best choice of material. Yes, UHMW slides easily because it's a low-friction material. That seems smart at first glance. But it has too many flaws that make it a really bad choice of material, making any build with this kit totally frustrating and time consuming. Descent. Well, the cement doesn't hold up well on these bars. So you can't keep the rods glued to your table well. Mine has crashed a few times. When
