You can't use 2 miter gauges, but you can build a cutoff sled to do this. The cutoff sled is basically a trough made with a plywood bottom and two rails of 2 by 4 standing on edge along the front and back edge of the plywood bottom. Then you attach 2 hardwood strips to the bottom of the sled to run in both miter slots of the table saw. You can make the sled to be about 12 inches inside between the 2 vertical 2 by 4 fence rails and as long as you want it to be to support long pieces of lumber. The vertical fence rails need to be at least 2 by 4's to be tall enough to not be cut through when the blade is raised enough to cut through the board being cut. You could even use 2 by 6's, if necessary. Be sure to make sure that the 2 strips of hardwood that run in the table saw miter slots are perfectly aligned at 90 degrees to the sled for a square cut.
This sled is heavy, but it works great. ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert J.

My thought was to lay the board accross both jigs and that would balance the board as well as keep it streight. Hope my question makes sence. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
