Derek, are you aware that in your two WP configuration only one of the two non-spring edges rides along its nearby miter slot edge?
Not so. Bars which have an adjustable width which is rigid are an entirely different animal than a spring controlled width. With either style using two bars on a one piece sled is not the best plan...
Wrong, Derek. As the humidity changes, the plywood dimension changes, and thus the DISTANCE BETWEEN two miter bars changes. Think long and hard about what that means about the fit. And then remove...
Derek, can you explain to us "one miter bar" enthusiasts how it makes any sense to install two adjustable bars in a sled?
It is important to laminate both sides to prevent curvature, since the mdf and laminate have different expansions with variation in humidity and temperature.The second laminate layer counteracts the...
That's not a dado specific insert, rather a general purpose plate with replaceable inserts.
It only makes sense to have one (and only one) right edge and one (and only one) left edge contact to guide the sled. If the runner width is precise, save one runner for another project.
The OD also limits the minimum template curvature that can be followed.
Another possibility is to import the picture to the INKSCAPE program (free). Learn how to draw with bezier curves and trace the leg outline. Save the tracing file in SVG format. This can be printed...
Looks like a job for french curves.
Yes Keegan, but what you are missing is the fact that the DISTANCE between the runners WILL change due to humidity changes, and that just as well modifies the fit.
James, I cant believe this. I took these pictures a few days ago intending to post a whatsit!505657505658
Consider a box a few inches high with the sander hanging upside-down under the bench. The box is attached to full extension slides via a pivot pin on each side which allows it to rotate 180 degrees...
You might get an idea from looking at my DIY box joint/dovetail jig that operates just like the LS positioner. In particular, the clamping mechanism makes it easy to clamp the board(s) without...
This tool was found in a collection of woodworking gizmos. I have no clue what it might be used for. Shown is one of three identical faces. The cross section is an equilateral triangle and the edges...
Glenn, the two runner approach does not help with heavy lumber. When one runner is under load, the other is unloaded, not sharing the load. Also, it is not possible to make a two runner sled with as...
Not so, Roger
If the center to center distance of the two runners is greater than the center to center distance of the miter slots, even by a tiny amount, the outside edges of the runners do the...
Jay, there is a thread earlier in this forum "Crosscut sled, my version". Read
it and then buy or build a single adjustable miter bar for your sled.
A while back I posted "A shop made zero play miter bar" on this forum. It got bumped to the shop made tools and machines forum. Take a look. I have since made a version which is adjustable from the...
No, that;s not the main reason. A two layer sandwich will warp when the different materials expand or contract differently, like a bi-metalic thermostat. Adding the third layer provides an equal...
Trex is "composite lumber", so "colored composite lumber" would be the search target.
And his unit is not battery powered.

Two items:
1. If you google pyrouterjig you will find a free program for printing templates for box joints which you may find useful.
2. I would very much appreciate it if you would comment on...
