My tablesaw sled sees a lot of use, but I was always a little nervous securing the workpiece with my hands during the cut.
This hold-down fits over the fence of my sled, reaching across the sled’s full depth. I made it from three 4″-wide plywood strips laminated together. A notch at one end fits over the back fence of the sled. A 1″ dowel glued into the hold-down provides a comfortable grip and allows me to hold workpieces on my sled with my hands out of the way.
