Having all manner of trouble creating a cross cut sled over here. I'm using the video from the Wood Whisperer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uE9f4bp_wm8
The thing is, getting the runners to fit tight enough to keep it from moving, but loose enough to actually slide I'm finding nigh on impossible. Just when I think I have it, I'll make an adjustment and then the whole thing binds up on me. I've spent hours and tons of wood trying to get this right. I wonder if I'm just too new to this all to be able to successfully create one.
Have any of you tried this? Had any luck? Maybe got some tips for how a newbie like me could get it right? I'm at a point where I have to get my cuts perfect or I can't build the things I want to build.
Is there a simpler option for getting good cross cuts on the table saw? My table saw's mitre gauge isn't really effective at all (DeWalt DW745, for what that's worth)
At this point, I'd rather spend $500 on a good mitre saw than lose my mind trying to get this right! But it's important to me that I learn how to do things like this so I can get better. Throwing money at the problem isn't always the best bet long term.
