A crosscut sled is a woodworking tool designed to make precise crosscuts on a table saw. It consists of a flat platform with a fence that guides the wood, ensuring accurate cuts at various angles. The sled helps improve safety and stability while cutting, reducing the risk of kickback. Using a crosscut sled allows woodworkers to cut larger pieces of wood more easily than with a standard miter gauge. It can be customized for specific projects and is especially useful for making repeatable cuts, enhancing efficiency in woodworking tasks.
