such tools.

Additional materials will be needed to build the table saw sled.
The things listed under Tools Needed and Other Materials
Needed are NOT included in the kit. Gather all tools and
materials before starting.
NOTE: Because your sled may vary in size and appearance
depending on your needs, an exact cut list can not be provided.
The example in these instructions will be for 18" x 24" base.
TOOLS NEEDED
• Drill
• Square
OTHER MATERIALS NEEDED
• CA Glue (Cyanoacrylate Adhesives)
• #8 x 3/4" flat head wood screws (quantity depends on
your design)
• Flat head wood screws (size and quantity depends on
your design)
• 1/2" Baltic Birch for the base (our example will cut the base
to 18" x 24", purchase the size needed for your needs).
NOTE: Other stock may be used, using the 1/2" Baltic Birch
will make the sled lighter and easier to handle.
• Stock for Front and Back Fence, needs to be 24" long and
2-5/8" tall. This will allow the flip stop to work, without a gap
between the end of the fence, the sled and the blade when it
is fully raised. (In our example we used the stock size shown
in Figure 2.) NOTE: The use of 3/4" wide stock will make
mounting the T-Track to the front fence easier.
