For years I've read that a crosscut sled is a necessity in the shop, yet I never felt inclined to make one. (let me mention I have a panel sled to square up panels.)But while putzing with tissue box covers I wasn't happy handling such small pieces on the saw. Then I came across a smaller sled in a magazine (Woodcraft, maybe) that I though would be useful for smaller pieces. This is my version. Let me mention again, I'm very much function over form, so I don't dress such things up to look nice. I just want them to perform as they should. Anyway, what's different about this sled from others I've seen is that it's a single runner sled. That allows you to move from one miter slot to the other. The idea is that (on my saw) when it's in the left slot, you cut 90º more or less in the middle of the sled. When it's in the right slot, you can tilt the blade to 45º and cut miters for mitered corner boxes. Because you only have one runner I bought a metal one that adjusts for tightness and not worry about wear on it. Anyway, here's what I came up with: The pics show it in the left slot and the right slot. So far this looks handy for smaller pieces, it's only 14" between the fences and I kinda wished I had made it a little smaller. But it's 25" wide and that seems to be about right.

I'm making a crosscut sled for my table saw. I'm using 3/4" BB plywood. I've seen lots of plans and a few have used zero clearance inserts for the sled and/or the fence. Do you find this to be a worthwhile feature? I would route recesses in the sled and fence and use 1/4" hardboard for the inserts.
