***Note: For those with a keen eye, you may have noticed that the sled in this video and the photos from our plans are mirror images of each other. This sled was originally designed for a right-tilt table saw. If your blade tilts to the left, like the majority of newer saws and the table saw shown in the video, you’ll need to make a mirror image of the sled shown in the plans. This is so the sliding base can open up in the direction in which your dado blades will stack to accommodate for a wide range of dado blade widths.***
