Hey there

I once saw a contractor that had a sled with a setup in it that allowed him to add a trigle in order to make miters on the ts.
I am trying to think of how I can add that to the sled..... anybody has some pictures or plans ?
also is it even worth it ? I have a really whimpy miter g with my hitachi portable ts....

Thanks in advance

Here's mine. Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.

I guess I will have to build one just for the mites cut.
while I am at it I might ever do one for dado cuts as well

That is a nice piece of plywood, isn't it? :D
I happened to find that at the BORG. I bought some plywood for a bookcase and that's what I found. Two full sheets looked like that!
