Default Panel Sled

Miter sliders are the hot ticket...

You will end up with more than two sleds...

The real big one is a good idea for large plywood
panels and other stuff like that...

A smaller one is also very handy....

You will end up using sleds a LOT....and wonder what
the hell you were thinking earlier....

So I'm finally (I know, don't kill me) building my first panel sled after 7
years of wwing. I've found different plans on the web thanks to all of you,
and I've settled on a design for 2 sleds, one straight and one with a mitre.
I have a few questions though if ya don't mind.

1. Does it make sense to have 2 different sleds, one for large panels and
the other for smaller stuff? Idea being I'd like to have something really
large for helping with sheet goods. Not insanely large mind you.

2. If I make a large panel sled, is there anything I can do to the bottom
of the sled to make it slide easily on the TS?
