That's what I thought.
Some descriptions of sleds say that adhesive backed sandpaper helps keep th e material firmly positioned on the fence, others (like the Wood Whisperer) suggest a smooth surface which I assume is for *ease* of positioning, espe cially when making repeated cuts from the same piece of material.
Never bothered with it.
99% of the time I use a stop block or the TS fence, so it really isn't necessary.
Where it does help is with a miter sled.
