I already know how to make a saw sled, so that isn't the question.
By the way, for those that recall my heavy-duty saw sled, I still use
it, andit works just fine, but it's heavy as Hell. That's not the
reason I'm replacing it tho.

I'm going to be making a lot of cutting pieces of 1X4'' plywood,
making pieces 3" wide - these cuts need to be consistentll in width.
The problem with the present sled, I have to get the cut pieces out of
the way, before I can slide the plywood over, and make the next cut.

So, I need another saw sled. I won't start working on it for a bit,
so figured I'd ask for some "useful input" (now that's n oxymoron) here
before I started work, after all, no sense in reinventing the wheel if
you don't have to. I want a sled that will "automatically" tip the cut
pieces away from the blade, so I can just slide the piece to be cut
over, against a stop block, and make the next cut. I figure the edge,
as it's being cut, should (hopefully) push the prior cut over enough to
allow the next to drop away. I don't mind if the cut pieces wind up
getting tipped over the side of the saw, I'll have a box to catch them.

What I've been mulling over is a 1/4" plywood base that the runners
will attach to, and will be the size as the total sled. Then use 3/4"
plywood, glued to the 1/4" plywood, and the same size. However, the
3/4" will have a rectanglar cutout on the right side. The rear of the
rectangular cut will be maybe 1/4=1/2" or so in front of the rear fence.
I figure about the same for the front fence. Then I'm thinking the cut
would be about 1/4" or so to the right of the blade - then when the cut
is finalized, the cut piece would tip right, and into the low section.
It ain't perfect, but I'm thinking it will work. So, unless I get some
inputd that's really remarkable, that's the way I'm going.

The question: Anyone got any better idess on how to do what I
want?

HANDY TIP: I keep my blood pressure medicine bottle on the back of
the stove. Apparently my blood pressure went up bcause of the dorky
trolls here. LMAO The dosage has been reduced by half, and should be
off it entirely soon. I digress. The pills are in a small plastic
bottle, and it sliped down over the back of the stove one day. Real
PITA retrieving the bottle. Easy solution - now store the pill bottle
in a considerably larger empty Vitamin C bottle. I don't just transfer
the pills because the prescription number is on the bottle label. I do
keep baby asperin in a larger bottle tho, labeled by printing the
contents on a strip of duct tape.
