JoshC1501 Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Curious how others do this. Had a sliding table on my old table saw. Was the only good thing about that saw. Couldn't get accurate cuts with my stock miter gauge on my new table saw. Couldn't keep the panel straight. So I built a obnoxiously large cross cut sled.

..Kev Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 I use the track saw.. Straight edge and good circular saw could achieve the same results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Sliding table on my tablesaw. 61" crosscut. Tablesaw fence goes to 72" so I am all set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodger. Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Draw a line, cut close, and trim with a hand plane. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jHop Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Straightedge guide and a circular saw or jig saw. Fine tooth blade (for near finished cuts). Then again, I've been working on a lot of plywood jobs lately. As for a hand saw.... well... lets' just say I'm open to technique corrections.

Pwalter5110 Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 With the current project I am working on, I needed a couple of longer crosscuts. I had a cross cut sled leaning against my table saw. But my brother in law tripped on it recently and broke the fence. Although I will eventually end up building another cross cut sled. I found it to be a good excuse to by the grizzly track saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinF Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 I like a nice straight edge and a circular saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trip Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 How wide is wide? But the simple answer: Track saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 I saw a guy on youtube last week with a crosscut sled big enough to do full sheets of plywood. Required infeed and outfeed extensions for support, but worked like a charm!

Dan S Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 I use a giant single runner crosscut sled like this http://www.finewoodworking.com/workshop/article/ultimate-crosscut-sled.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trip Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 ==>I think this is it: Table Saw Cross-Cut Sled Until I got the TS55, I used a sled about this size... But it was heavy... and a pain to store when not in use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missioninwood Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 TS-55. "Shop changing tool," that's what I always say. But I have a few sleds too. miw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryMcK Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Sliding table on my euro TS. Nothing like as big as Steve's though so on really big stuff I use a circular saw and clamp guide. Not perfect but I have little call for a track saw - yet..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byrdie Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Circ saw, couple clamps and a straight edge. That or a couple roller stands and the TS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakjak220 Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 I'm in the TS55 group... if you do much plywood work then it's well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 We do it first shot to finished size on a heavy cabinet saw with outfeed table, and rolling infeed table to position it, but I have two very strong guys helping me who have done it many times.

wdwerker Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 TS-75 is on the short list. Gotta rip and glue up 10 ft solid oak bar tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stahlee Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Use a TS55, usually with the MFT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Bienlein Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Depending on the width of the piece I'll either use my slider attachment on my saw or just set the fence and crosscut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
