This sled is heavy and pricey, but if you want to make extremely precise and safe cuts on the tablesaw, it is worth every dollar and ounce! If you need to make cuts at high angles, like 60-degree corners, this jig lets you set the blade at 30 degrees and make the cut accurately and safely multiple times. A real-time (and finger) saver! Dialing in multiple lap or bridle joints is equally simple. The precision of this jig is simply amazing!

Saw Stop users need to worry about running into that aluminum fence. The bottom knob can be set to lock in the height, while still allowing slide motion.

The magic of this jig happens on this side. The two outside slots are for the one-time setup to get the jig parallel to the blade. Loosen the black knobs to make gross adjustments and bring the jig close to the cut, then loosen the red knobs to fine-tune it to a perfect cut. Once everything is tightened back down, make as many identical cuts as required!

This sled comes with a wall mount. In my shop, the walls are sheetrock, so the mount is attached to a small strip of sheet stock, which is attached to studs. Did I mention that this sled does weigh a bit! :)

This sled is accurate and light! I have made many sleds over the years, and having one that is light and close to the saw is a wonderful gift. This sled has positive stops at all the typical angles, and the off-cut side of the sled makes small cuts just a bit safer!

Woodpecker has come out with an excellent miter gauge. It was very precise right out of the box on my saw, and for making dados and wide cuts, this really answers the call! You might be wondering why the miter gauge when you already have the sled. If I have a dado blade installed, I don’t want to lose that zero clearance fit of the sled, so sometimes you need both!

I was surprised that the Woodpeckers doesn't offer a wall mount, as having the gauge kick around a workbench is not a very good idea. Building a simple mount out of some scrap Baltic Birch was a must!

If you do a lot of batch cuts or dados, the Rip-Flip system from Woodpercker's is a worthy consideration.

I like to use dados and gooves in cabinet builds, and the Rip-Flip system allows me to set up perfect-fitting dados one time, and then slide the system down the rail to cut repeatable dados over and over. This is a huge time-saver and allows for very precise results. A win-win!

The marketing for this tablesaw accessory is so you can have full threads on a ¾” or larger dado stack. But since I have installed the Rip-Flip, I rarely use anything over a ¼” or ½” stack. Since it has a wide base, I considered using it as the daily driver, but the exposed portion of the nut is only about a ¼” and in my experience, it is just too finicky to spin on. The large standard Saw Stop nut is much easier to grab.

Living in the desert, we normally have very little humidity, so wood movement is not much of a problem, especially for the table saw fence. I'm a bit type-A, and when I ran a dial gauge along the original Saw Stop fence, the needle was jumping back and forth a bit too much. Replacing the stock fence with the Vera Fence—dead smooth and no movement!

The fence will accept the Jessem hold-down accessories, but I continue to utilize the original track that I attached to the top of the fence bar. I do use this top track when I need to add a jig to the fence. It accepts off-the-shelf ¼-20 bolts and is very handy.

The back of the fence upgrade features a coated steel backing fence, along with stainless steel knobs and threaded rod. All are very well made. Since one of my push sticks always resided between the Jessem Track and the right fence, since the fence was gone, I needed to add a small piece of ¼” MDF to the back so the push stick could continue to ride the fence.

When I purchased the Spline Jig, I wondered how much I would use it. I have made other shop-made spine jigs, but this one beats them all. I rarely have an unsupported miter with a spine after getting this jig.

The three channels on the face, plus the top and bottom channels, provide an infinite number of possible hold-down options. Both sides have a couple of positions to handle a wide variety of corner sizes. Even severe angles, such as those in a triangular box, can be safely and securely held in place with a set of wedges to facilitate cutting. In addition, the four centering stops make repeatable cuts a breeze. I am very glad I took the chance on this tool accessory!

I have made a few jigs to attach a dial indicator to check blade and fence alignment to the slots. But to have one made from stainless steel and aircraft-grade aluminum is one of those buy once, cry once, and done deals. I am glad I have this permanent reference tool in the shop. Although it is not needed very often, the tool is solid and accurate when you do need it.

Having a precisely ground flat-tooth blade in the shop is a joy. This blade is only installed in the saw when I need to cut dados, grooves, box joints, or spline cuts. The version I purchased is ⅛” inch, as I wanted it for spline joints as well. I was tempted by the ¼” blade, but with the Rip-Flip system, making a ¼” groove for a dado was as easy as moving the fence back and forth in the captured jig. ⅛” is all I needed in my shop, and this blade gets a regular workout!

The dust collector and all the tools with a 4” dust port have a MagQuick dust collection port attached. This makes it as simple as moving the hose from one tool to another. Fast and secure. This is another great addition to the shop.

I have one 4” hose with the MagQuick connector with the four earth magnets attached. Just get the end of the hose close to the connector with the steel ring, and it snaps into place.
