Bevel Sled construction and use. Including 5-cut method to calibrate sled.

What I'm looking for is a click making sled.

I'm confused. Why not just use your rip fence?

Are you going to participate in this group or is this click bait?

For picture frames I use a gauge similar to this one.

Rockler 45 Degree Miter Sled

With oposite sides of the frame Exactly the same lenght, I get perfect mitered corners.

For a cost of $19.99 it is not worth my time o build one myself4

While I never have had a need for it Rockler has ar 22.5° Miter Sled

All of these would be easier to store that the type in the video.

I use Dubby for angles on panels. Individual degree settings are about

I go a pair, left and right, about 20 years ago.

I intend to buy those to make segmented turning blanks.

Thanks for sharing the video

Just happened to notice the other day, for the second time in approximately 5 years that we've "lost" a Woodcraft store in Northern Illinois.

Have others across the country seen a decline in brick and mortar woodworking stores in their area? Not limiting this to Woodcraft stores.

I'd never seen much traffic at that stores location which, to me at least, seemed like a bad one. Pretty much a dead shopping center, hidden back in the corner, not a lot of traffic. The former location, a bit south on a busier highway had much higher traffic and visibility in a fully occupied strip mall.

Then again, with online sales going the way they have been, I'd hate to be a brick and mortar store for anything but maybe clothing and perishables, groceries.

Think about it. You read or hear of a tool, you can all but touch it via a YouTube video and see it put through its paces better than handling it in the store. Then, if you want it, you can scout out the best price (damn near always cheaper than in the store) and have it in a day or two.

In the Houston area Woodcraft stores move locations with regularity. Perhaps....

In the past 10 years I have seen our wood working stores double in number, Woodcraft and Rockler.

Location, Location, Location. Probably why Woodcraft stores move. One of our oldest Woodcraft stores moves every 10 years on average. I have know it to be in 4 different locations.

Location, Location, Location.... The closest woodcraft store has been very busy.

That works for the home do it your self line of tools. The price remains the same for SawStop, Festool, and a few other brands that escape me. On line or in the store the price is the same.

In the last five years, we've added a Woodcraft and a Rockler (two of each now). The new Rocler is even further than the old, so I haven't bothered. The new woodcraft is 25mi across sparsely driven county roads (no interstates needed), so it's easy for me to get there a couple of times a month. They're very well stocked, though they've been having problems getting stationary tools, like everyone else. They normally display a lot of them but lately it's been slim pickings. I bought my lathe and drum sander out of store inventory.

We also have the independents Highland and Peachtree, both with large showrooms (Higland's has been curb-service only for the last year). From this, my guess would be that the hobby is doing quite well here in Altlanta and not so much in Northern Illinois.

Not that it's policy or that it doesn't happen but I haven't seen lower prices on Laguna, Powermatic, or Jet than the brick and mortar stores. Sometimes one will have a factory sale that other stores don't have and sometimes shipping is included but the normal price is the same. Hand tools are all over the place.

Many advantages in using bevel sled over rip fence to cut bevels:

1. It would be dangerous to use the rip fence, to cut a bevel, on the end of a long narrow piece, as would be typical in making a box. The bevel sled makes this cut safe.
2. The bevel sled makes the cut perpendicular to the edge against the sled fence.
3. The bevel sled allows clamping down, of the piece to be cut, so that the cut is accurate even if the piece has a slight warp.
4. The bevel sled allows two flip stops so that sides and ends of box can be cut without changing set up.

Hope this helps

Is this what you are looking for ?

Of course not. More like this:

That's what homemoaners club is and always has been.

Nope. No help at all.

BS

You think so?

1. The bevel sled makes the cut

It does not.

BTW Why did you remove my comment on your click bait you tube video?
