Using a sliding table (sled)  on a table saw is the safest
way to make cross cuts. If aligned, it guarantees a perfect 90-degree cut every time. Make
two sliding tables with several safety features, saw guards, hold downs, and miter guides.
Everyone is encouraged to make more than one for special purpose needs such as blade tilt
angle cuts or slotting. Because the hands on opportunities require skillful drill press,
table saw, jointer, planer, and radial arm saw use, you are required to have completed
the JUMPSTART I
class.
