mds2 Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I didn't have a good way to cut miters on the edges of boards. I have an older Craftsman table saw and while I think it is a pretty good saw the blade will not tilt all the way to 45. So last night I made a miter sled. It isn't quite finished, I need to add a hold down yet. I am happy with the jig though. It cuts miters easily and if I flip the board over and lower the blade I bit I can also cut notches for splines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert.hoover Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I like it. I'm always thinking of ways around having to alter the blade angle on my saws. It's a lot easier to calibrate to 90 degrees than something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froglips Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I too have an old Craftman table saw. It was my dad's and I think he bought it in the fifties. It sure looks similar to yours. Mine still tilts ok:) The legs and casters are shot. I was going to try and build a new set of legs for it. What is yours sitting on?

mds2 Posted May 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I built a rolling cabinet for it. My legs were shot too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
