I've always cross cut & mitered on a compound sliding miter saw I think due to the fact I never owned a good table saw. I finally bought a decent TS about 6 months ago it's a Grizzly G0899 tried a few miters, I added a wood sand papered fence to the stock miter gauge & very surprised (not sure why) it worked well. I actually liked using the TS this way as opposed to the compound miter saw (again not sure why). So now I'm looking at better way's to do this by buying a pre made miter sled like this one from Rockler or buy a better miter gauge.
Looking for some advice on which is the better way to go or what's the disadvantage of the sled over a 200 buck miter gauge. I know guys build ther own sleds but I'm in the "build your own work bench" rabbit hole right now & don't want to build a sled. Thanks in advance !
