February 18, 201214 yr On a t/saw extension for your miter gauge, how tall are yours? Needed to make one for a while and now's the time to do it.Have some long pieces to cut for a bathroom towel cabinet and I need the extra support to get some clean cuts.ThanksHarry BrinkBulldog WoodworkingMontana
February 19, 201214 yr I'm not sure I understand your question Harry. I guess it depends on the cut. Most cross cuts like that I use my sled but I have an Osborne G3 miter gauge. I have a fairly tall fence so I have not added any thing to make it taller for the cuts I have made.Anyway, Not sure I answered your question.John MoodyJohn Moody Woodworkshttp://www.johnmoodywoodworks.com
February 19, 201214 yr Author Not trying to make it taller just longer for more control. I ripped it down to just over 2" and now it feels better.Harry BrinkBulldog WoodworkingMontana
February 19, 201214 yr Shoot us some pictures so we can see what you are doing. Sounds like you are on to something.Harry Brink said:Not trying to make it taller just longer for more control. I ripped it down to just over 2" and now it feels better.Harry BrinkBulldog WoodworkingMontana
February 20, 201214 yr Author I don't have access to a camera right now. I haven't made a sled yet so what I've seen others do is mount a straight, 3/4" board to their miter gauge for more support.On your sled, how tall is the back fence that you use to hold the stock against to get square cuts?Harry BrinkBulldog WoodworkingMontana
February 20, 201214 yr I hve a couple of different heights dependant upon the cut that needs to be made. the one I usually use is about 3" tall and 12" long. this is a comfortable height wich allows me to grip both the gauge and the fence comfortably.Round Barn WoodCrafts, Plymouth WIroundbarnwoodcrafts@hotmail.com
February 20, 201214 yr Author Thanks. That 's what I was after. I ripped mine down to just under 3". It started out about 4 1/2" and I just couldn't get my fingers around it to where it felt safe.Harry BrinkBulldog WoodworkingMontana
February 20, 201214 yr Harry it is about four inches.Harry Brink said:I don't have access to a camera right now.
