In our latest woodworking tutorial, learn how to make a custom crosscut sled for your bandsaw! Shown on a Laguna 1412, this small-parts crosscut sled is compatible with most common bandsaws. Learn the DIY process step by step from laminating the Baltic Birch plywood base to cutting dados with a dado blade at the tablesaw, adding a hardwood runner, and finally attaching a fence with a stop block system. Follow along as Willie Sandry, The Thoughtful Woodworker, demonstrates each step in detail. Not sure why you need a crosscut sled for a bandsaw? Have you ever tried to cut dowels or small parts at the miter saw? If so, you know they tend to fling small parts which end up bouncing off the shop walls. That’s neither safe nor convenient and this compact bandsaw crosscut sled solves the problem with ease.
