Cross Cut Sled w/ Adjustable Stop Block

thumb_cross_cut_sled02.jpg

I wanted to design a new cross cut sled for my Saw Stop Job Site saw (http://amzn.to/2yrhe2V), and the most important factor was that it was larger, since this saw has a larger top than my old one. The other factor I wanted to add was an adjustable stop block and builtin tape measure. For this build I used 1/2inch (12mm) baltic birch. Dimensions: 1 Main board: 35 1/2 x 20 inches (902 x 510 mm) 4 Fence boards: 35 1/2 x 4 inches (902 x 102 mm) 2 Runners, approximately 1/2 inch deep x 3/4 inch wide

Just underneath the shelf there is hidden under some frosted acrylic very bright leds that use very little power yet provide an enormous amount of light, ~ 3500 lumens at full brightness. I paired it with a 60 watt ac/dc power adapter and a remote control to control the leds.
