Hook

The two jigs that civilise a table saw and a router, in one plan for the price of a coffee. A crosscut sled that calibrates dead-square with the five-cut method — error formula worked for you — and a router sled for flattening stock too wide for your planer. The router sled is drawn stored on the crosscut sled, which is where it will live in your shop too.

Specs

  • Crosscut sled: 24 × 18 in base in ½ in plywood, tall rear fence (the working fence), low front safety fence, two hardwood miter bars ripped from a 1×4
  • Router sled: 20 × 14 in base with two rails the router bridges across
  • Plan length: 16 pages (US Letter), imperial + metric throughout
  • Calibration: the five-cut method, with the error formula worked in the plan — square is measured, not hoped for
  • Sheet goods: 1 × ½ in plywood sheet + 1 × ¾ in plywood sheet, plus a 1×4 for the miter bars
  • Estimated material cost (computed by the plan engine): $145 for both sleds, including hardware
  • Difficulty: Beginner · Build time: 1 day

    • What's included

  • 16-page plan (Letter, print or tablet) — imperial & metric throughout
  • Front, side & top elevations + a full exploded view, all dimensioned in inches and millimetres
  • Two complete sleds: crosscut (24 x 18) and router (20 x 14)
  • The five-cut calibration method, with the error formula worked for you
  • DXF + SVG cutting files, grouped by real material thickness
  • Exact hardware list — screw specs included, no guesswork

    • Tools

  • Table saw (the sleds' home) and a drill/driver
  • Calipers — the five-cut method is only as honest as its measurement
  • Combination square, clamps, a straightedge
  • A router for the second sled; any flat offcut becomes its bridge

    • FAQ

    Is this a physical product? No — it's an instant digital download: the plan PDF plus DXF and SVG cutting files.

    Will the miter bars fit my saw? The bars are ripped from a 1×4 and then planed or sanded to a sliding fit in YOUR saw's slots — the plan says to measure your slots, because slot widths vary between saws.

    How square is the crosscut sled, really? As square as your five-cut measurement says it is: the plan prints the method and the error formula, so you adjust the fence by a computed amount, not by tapping and hoping.

    Do I need a CNC? No. Both sleds are table-saw-and-drill builds; the CNC files are a free extra.

    What if the files don't open or arrive damaged? Files faulty or corrupted? Free replacement within 7 days.
