A table saw sled drastically improves the cross-cutting abilities of small table saws. While the chop saw should still be the preffered machine for large workpieces and single cuts, a table saw sled makes quick work of repeated small cuts.

The one we currently have was made by Lars and fits on the Elektra Beckum PK 255. As of September 2022, the slot had deteriorated to a point where accuracy would certainly suffer - it is strongly recommended to fix the sled with a new central inlay that will once again match the blade perfectly once it is "cut in".

TO DO: please add photos & advice on how/when to use the sled!
