February 18, 201214 yr comment_33889 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 Report
February 19, 201214 yr comment_33897 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 Report
February 19, 201214 yr Author comment_33896 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 Report

February 20, 201214 yr Author comment_33894 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 Report
February 20, 201214 yr comment_33893 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 Report
February 20, 201214 yr Author comment_33892 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 Report
