Jason Hotze Posted June 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 So I'm about halfway done with the miter sled. Should I use plywood for the fence or is it ok to use hardwood? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jason Hotze Posted June 20, 2016 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Ran some oak across the jointer just to make sure.

Rapid Roger Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Beautiful job! Now you are ready to build the clamp for keeping it square when you glue up. But, you still need to measure it corner to corner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Hotze Posted June 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Whoah roger. Def wasn't planning on building a space jig tonight. I'm gonna cut the rabbets in the back first and figure out the glueing later.

But, you still need to measure it corner to corner. Ok roger I did make that jig after all haha. Do the square corners that wrap the ends need to be perfectly square? Yours looked like one that had a starter hole for a jigsaw and that's what I did but the roughness doesn't seem to square it up well. Thanks again!

Ronn W Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 I use this version of a sled. Frame pieces are on the inside. As long as the 2 guides are at 90 degress to each other and you cut each piece from the proper side it is right on the money. In addition, I know that that if I hold the piece tight into the corner, the cut removes 3/32" from each end of the each piece so I can start with a piece 8 3/16" long, and end up with the 8" I want without having to cut to a line. Additional tip. I have a large 45 degree drafting triangle that I know is exactly square. Cheap solution for laying out things like this sled, squaring my miter guage to the blade, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Well, obviously the more square the better but, still you will need to dry clamp and make an adjustment or two. I generally dry fit/clamp and make sure that things are like I want them and loosen the clamp just enough to lift out each side to apply glue and replace it in the proper order. Then re-clamp snugly, measure and look, then tighten up on the clamp and leave to dry. I think that I cut the sides from out side in to the hole with my scroll saw but, it has been a long time ago when I built the jig so I really don't remember. You will really like the adjustability of this jig and it should last you a lifetime.(as long as you wax all surfaces so you don't glue your frame to the jig....makes it hard to hang on the wall :)) mp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdwerker Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Making the corner blocks very square helps. I drill about a 3/8" hole at the inside corner to prevent crushing the sharp corners. This also lets you see if the points become misaligned . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logos Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 I've posted this before, but this is how i made sure I had a perfect 90s while positioning the rails I'm about to make a new sled for my new saw and plan doing the same process My buddy just bought the incra sled and told me he got got dead perfect 90s right out of the box. I need to see it to fully believe it though! Yours looks like it works great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleedinblue Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Bringing this back up because of the shooting board discussion. I made my first miter shooting board to help with a current build. The first board didn't fare too well...I didn't leave enough of a ledge for the plane to ride on and the cuts were coming off square. The second board was much better. Of matching frames, I got one set really, really close and the second set is just "pretty" close. I checked and checked again but can't find the error in that set...maybe tomorrow with a fresh pair of eyes. I need some more practice, and my LAJ needs to be just a wee bit finer honed. Most times I was getting full length end grain cuts in one piece, but some cuts were difficult to push through. A big problem I had was the work piece sliding around in the middle of the cut...any solutions for that? Sandpaper glued down onto the board maybe?

I can still remember the shock of how much better my control was with a bit of 180 or 220 spray glued to the fence or support surface of whatever I was using. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown craftsman Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 I don't see the need for sandpaper. Your blade must not be sharp enough or your taking to big of a cut. It also help to know what miters that need trimming. A small square to check its square to the face and 45. I hold the matching pieces right up next to each and feel with my fingers tip to see if one is longer than the other. I do realize you didn't ask for my pointers so feel free to flush my words.

bleedinblue Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 I'm never afraid of pointers. I added some sandpaper and was more careful of the depth of cut. I also waxed the board. Definitely much better. The best I could tell, all pieces were the same length and all were at 45 (according to my squares, which COULD be off) The frames still don't go together perfectly, but seem to be very, very close.
