1. Fulton DIY Table Saw Crosscut Sled Kit with 2 UHMW Bars 2 Aluminum Tracks 1 Knob and 1 Bolt along with Full Color HOW TO BUILD YOUR OWN Crosscut Sled Guide Booklet
If you own a table saw, you probably have come across a situation or two where you need to make smaller cuts or make cross cuts. You may also have had the need to make repetitive cuts of the same length. Making small cuts, cross cuts and repetitive length cuts is where table saw crosscut sleds excel. Crosscut sleds help stabilize the work piece and are very accurate since they are essentially calibrated to your saw during the sled building process.
Some time ago we noticed a lot of companies had UHMW bars available for purchase. While we as a woodworking company know exactly what they are used for, many novice or non-woodworkers do not. That’s when we decided to create this package with pre-cut UHMW bars, pre-cut aluminum track, a knob and bolt and an easy to understand how to guide booklet so you can create your very own, custom crosscut sled to fit your table saw!
UHMW bars are most commonly used as runners for crosscut sleds since they don’t produce as much friction as wood does. Another advantage is that UHMW won’t expand or contract like wood does during drastic weather changes. Each bar is approximately 3/4” x 3/8” which fits most standard table saw slots. UHMW bars are also slick and won’t leave any residue, dust or shavings behind like wooden bars tend to do.
The tracks that are included in this kit are made from solid extruded aluminum and are Made in the USA. Each track is cut to length for the perfect sub-fence on the crosscut sled. The included knob and bolt is for making a simple stop block which when finished, can slide the length of either track along the sub-fence. The stop block will allow you to make repetitive cuts without having to constantly move and measure the fence distance each time you make a cut.
We have also included a full color and detailed how to guide book to help you with the crosscut sled building process. Each kit comes with 2 each 19” long by 3/4” by 3/8” UHMW bars, 2 each 12” long mini tracks, 1 each knob, 1 each 1/4” by 20 tpi bolt and a how to build your own crosscut sled guide book. Make your crosscut sled to the size you want or need for your table saw and your specific cutting needs. Please Note, the bars do NOT FIT RYOBI table saw track slots.

7. 18” Precision Steel Miter Bar Rail Runner with Adjustable Spring Loaded Plungers For DIY Table Saw Crosscut Sleds, Jigs and Fixtures to Slide in 3/4 inch by 3/8 inch Miter Slots
Build your next table saw sled, router table jig or band saw fixture to operate with a smooth sliding action using the Fulton 18 inch Precision Steel Miter Bar! Attach the steel bar to most any type of sled, jig or fixture that is to be used with a 3/4 inch (19mm) by 3/8 inch (9mm) miter slot. Using our steel bar versus plastic or aluminum gives your sled, jig or fixture more strength and stability and it won’t bend or warp.
When building sleds, jigs and fixtures one of the most important aspects is to achieve a smooth sliding action without side to side play. The Fulton Precision Steel Miter Bar does both with its solid steel bar and 4 adjustable spring loaded plungers. The plungers can be adjusted with the included hex key wrench for just the right fit.
Not only is the Fulton Steel Miter Bar adjustable, its easy to mount! You can mount the bar from the top of your sled, jig or fixture platform or base, or you can mount it from the bottom. There are three threaded holes along the length of the bar for mounting the bar using 1/4 inch by 20 tpi machine screws (not included). There are also three counter sunk holes on the bar to mount the bar using #8 wood screws (not included).
Once you mount the bars to your sled, jig or fixture you are sure to feel the difference. This is especially true when you first run the bars through your miter slots. The smooth sliding action is perfect for crosscut sleds, miter angle jigs, shop made coping sleds and a whole lot more! Using two bars (only one is included) for even more stability works exceptionally well.
The bar is approximately 18 inches long and will fit into miter t slots and u-shaped miter slots. Non-standard slots found on some job site style table saws and other small machinery will not accept this bar due to the non-standard slot dimensions. We recommend that you measure your miter slot before placing your order.
