Introducing the Table Saw Small Parts Sled by POWERTEC\nThis small cross-cut sled allows you to cut work material pieces to length with your table saw. It keeps fingers clear of danger and lets you cut with confidence. Ideal for cutting dowels, stock and small shapes at a precise 90 ° angle, with little or no tear-out. The sled has zero clearance support, reducing the likelihood that small pieces will get stuck between the blade and the throat plate or fall through completely. The sled's miter safety stop plate limits its forward movement. The drop-off is carried away from the blade by a small plastic ramp on one side of the kerf.\nPremium POWERTEC Quality The components are made with a protective coated MDF and high quality aluminum to withstand the abrasive nature of woodworking and for long-term durability.

Trimming cabinet doors and drawers, mitering small pieces, and making wide crosscuts for shelving is safer and easier with this simple sled
This is a set of digital plans for a guiderail hinge that I’ve designed and made for my 10MinuteWorkshop MultiFunction Table, or MFT. A rail hinge attaches to an MFT-style bench (see my other listings for plans for those) and is a very convenient way to get the rail out of the way and your bench clear. Commercial rail hinges are usually costly (~£200 / $250) but this hinge can be made from around £12 / $15 of 12mm / 1/2” plywood - even at 2022 prices - and a little additional hardware; links to hardware used are also provided. I made mine from Birch ply because it looks nice on video, but many of the prototypes were made from MDF and are holding up just fine. NB: The plans are mostly aimed at Festool / Makita pattern rails - and their clones, Titan, Triton, Erbauer, Evolution etc… - but drilling positions are also provided for DeWalt rails. Mafell and Bosch rails can use the same fixing positions as the Festool / Makita rails but you'll need to source M5 t-nuts from Ooznest to fit those rails - https://ooznest.co.uk/product/tee-nuts/ The rail hinge is easy to make with basic tools, though it does require some care and precision whilst measuring and cutting. Because of this, in addition to the usual dimensional drawings, there are 1:1 representations to help drill the components accurately, and a thorough description (over 2000 words!) of the construction and assembly. There is a public-facing YouTube video that explains the ‘why’ of this build, as well as some of the ‘how-to’ but there is also a ‘Plans Plus’ version that includes a detailed step-by-step build video, available now for a small additional charge; probably worth it just to avoid reading 2000+ words… In all seriousness I’d recommend watching at least the public YouTube video before making a start. As always, plans are provided for you to make the item for your personal use, the design is registered, and all rights are reserved. Note that plans are supplied as a digital download; if you checkout as a guest the confirmation email will include your download link, and this is the only one you will receive, so please keep it safe.
