What are the benefits of using a sled vs. a miter gauge?
Sleds offer roughly double the capacity of the best miter gauges (even INCRA’s!) and can cut common cabinet parts, sleds offer better safety and control for small parts with the use of hold downs and because they “carry” the lumber through the blade, and sleds offer a cleaner cut because of the zero-clearance on both sides of the blade (especially important cross cutting veneered plywood).
