Woodworking: Improved my table saw sled for my own safety

Posted By on November 9, 2024

The Table Saw Sled back in 2019 Safer Table Saw Sled update in 2024

The “yellow tape” applied to the table saw sled has bothered me since adding it in 2019 (above left). I’ve never had a problem remembering to keep my hands away from pushing the sled with my hand in the wrong place, but realized not having a guard was foolish (added above right)

So a little curve of wood (reminding me there’s a 10” blade coming through there) and flexed a bit of plexiglas to cover the normal red colored blade might help keep my fingers away. It never hurts to play it safe when it comes to using tools
