Description
Product Overview
The Rockler 45 Degree Miter Sled is engineered for woodworkers who demand exact corner cuts without the hassle of constant adjustments. Made from lightweight yet rigid aluminum, the sled slides smoothly in standard 3/8″ × 3/4″ miter slots. Pre‑installed nylon set screws provide a no‑slop fit, while a 7/64″ hex wrench (not included) lets you fine‑tune the track alignment. The base features through‑slots for secure clamping of moldings at table level, and the design accommodates optional extended fences and stops for larger workpieces.
Usage
This sled excels in creating picture‑frame joints, crown molding, baseboard, and any project that requires consistent 90° or 45° cuts. It is perfect for hobbyists building cabinets, professional finish carpenters, and DIY enthusiasts tackling home‑renovation trim. Because the sled rides the saw’s miter track, it works on any table saw that accepts the standard slot dimensions, making it a versatile addition to any workshop.

FAQ
What size miter slots does this sled fit?
The sled is designed for the industry‑standard 3/8″ × 3/4″ miter slots found on most table saws.
Do I need any tools to install the sled?
Only a 7/64″ hex wrench (not included) is needed to adjust the nylon set screws for a perfect fit.
Can I use this sled for cuts larger than picture frames?
Yes. The sled’s base includes through‑slots for clamping larger moldings, and you can add extended fences for bigger workpieces.
Is the sled compatible with both 90° and 45° cuts?

How do I maintain the nylon pins?
Keep the pins clean of sawdust and periodically check the set‑screw tension. The nylon is self‑lubricating and does not require additional lubrication.
