A cross cut sled is probably one of the most important jigs in your workshop. Many woodworkers most commonly use a carpenter’s square to set the angle for their sled, however, when accuracy counts you cannot do better than William Ng’s five-cut method.
Since a lot of woodworkers are intimidated by the math, we will take the calculations out of the equation — so all you have to do is measure. We will demonstrate step-by-step to show you how easy the five-cut method can be. We are even providing you with a Google spreadsheet that is pre-programmed with all of the calculations. All you have to do is add your measurements.
